When installing a pool fence in New Zealand, safety is paramount. The Building (Pools) Amendment Act 2016 sets out specific requirements to ensure child safety around residential pools.
Height Requirements
The fence must be at least 1.2m high from the ground level. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching.
Climbable Objects
Ensure there are no climbable objects, tree branches, or retaining walls within 1.2m of the safe pool area.
Compare compliant pool fencing systems with premium glass pool barriers, then use the pool fencing safety guide and New Zealand pool fencing cost guide to plan the project.
