Looking for an Affordable Solution to Achieve Pool Safety? Here’s Why You Need Climb Stop!
A swimming pool is often the centrepiece of outdoor entertainment and relaxation during warm summer months. However, with its allure and appeal comes a considerable responsibility – ensuring safety, particularly for children and pets. One crucial aspect that demands attention is the pool fence, specifically the establishment of a non-climbable zone. Let’s delve into the importance of non-climbable zone pool fences and how Climb Stop can provide an effective, affordable solution without needing to replace your current fence!
Ensuring Safety
The primary purpose of a pool fence is to prevent unauthorized access, especially for young children who may be drawn to the water out of curiosity. A non-climbable zone is an essential component of this barrier, as it adds an extra layer of security by making it difficult for children to scale the fence and access the pool area unsupervised. That is where Climb Stop can help!
Why Non-Climbable Zones Matter
Non-climbable zones are designed to eliminate any footholds or handholds that a child could use to climb over the fence. By creating a smooth, angled surface, these zones ensure that the fence remains an effective barrier. This added security is crucial in preventing tragic accidents and providing peace of mind for pool owners.
Compliance with Regulations
Australia has stringent regulations governing pool safety standards. These regulations are in place to minimize the risk of drowning accidents, particularly involving young children. Compliance with these standards is not only a legal requirement but also a moral obligation to ensure the safety of everyone using the pool.
Key Guidelines for Pool Fence Safety
- Height Requirements: The fence must be at least 1200mm high to prevent easy access.
- Horizontal Rails: Rails should have a 60-degree product like Climb Stop to create a non-climbable surface.
- Gap Spacing: The gaps between rails and verticals must be less than 10mm to prevent footholds.
- Climbable Objects: No climbable objects should be within specific distances from the outside and inside of the fence.

Pool Barrier Inspections
In Australia, pool barrier inspections are conducted to ensure compliance with safety regulations, including those pertaining to timber fences. Here’s a general overview of what you can expect during a barrier inspection:
- Compliance Assessment: Inspectors will evaluate various factors such as fence height, construction, non-climbable zones, gate operation, and general maintenance.
- Fence Height: The inspector will measure the height of the timber fence to ensure it meets the minimum requirement of 1.2 meters.
- Construction and Gap Spacing: Inspectors will check that the gaps do not exceed 100mm to prevent children from squeezing through.
- Non-Climbable Zones: Inspectors will ensure that there are no climbable objects within the designated non-climbable zone.
- Gate Inspection: The gate will be assessed for self-closing and self-latching mechanisms, ensuring they function correctly.
- Maintenance Evaluation: Inspectors will look for signs of damage, wear, or rot that may compromise the fence’s integrity or safety.
