Pool safety regulations for timber fences require that there is at least a 900mm gap between the horizontal rails, if this is less, a device must be fitted to the middle rail of the fence, which must have a minimum 60-degree angle to prevent the fence being climbed easily.

The device fitted must also have no areas with more than a 10mm wide vertical gap that could be used as a foot or finger hold to climb a timber fence….

Climb Stop is specifically designed for this purpose – the 60-degree angle of Climb Stop helps to create a slippery, angled surface that is harder to climb than a typical timber tilt batten/wedge restraint.

Climb Stop solves this problem by doing just this!

No gaps! 60 degree angle! Smooth hard to climb finish!

Climb Stop is simple to install, cost effective, keeps your children safe and your timber boundary fence pool safety compliant!
