Is a glass pool fence safe enough for children?

Yes – when built to the correct height with CE-marked laminated safety glass. Wire railings should not be used alone in child-heavy areas.

How high should a glass pool railing be?

Typical heights range from 90–110 cm. Taller railings increase safety, particularly on raised decks or uneven ground.

Are cable railings child-safe?

On their own, cable systems might not meet child safety standards. We recommend combining them with glass in family settings.

Do I need planning permission for a pool fence?

Not usually – but if your railing exceeds 1.1 metres or affects a neighbour’s view, it’s best to consult your local authority.

What type of glass is used in your pool railings?

We use CE-marked laminated safety glass or toughened laminated glass, both suitable for outdoor and child-safe applications.

Is pool fencing required in the UK?

If your pool presents a safety risk – such as access by children or pets – fencing is strongly advised and may be required depending on local regulations.

Can I mix different materials around the pool?

Absolutely. For example, glass along neighbour-facing sides and wire on open views.

Can I combine a pool railing with a privacy screen?

Yes – many customers choose frosted or tinted glass for added privacy around the pool.
