Balustrades services in Bar Beach You Can Rely On

Yes. We build glass and aluminium pool barriers to AS 1926.1 and the NSW pool-barrier rules, covering the non-climbable zone, self-closing and self-latching gates, and gaps kept under the required limit. What we do not do is issue the compliance certificate: the inspection and sign-off are carried out by your local council or an accredited private certifier. Our job is to build a barrier that is ready for that certification, so we construct it to the standard and leave the formal certifying to the authority. If you are unsure of the current rules for your pool, we are happy to point you in the right direction.

We build to the National Construction Code and the relevant Australian Standards rather than offering legal advice, and we design to those figures from the outset. As a general guide, balconies, decks and landings with a fall over a metre need a barrier of around one metre, stair balustrades sit at roughly 865 millimetres above the nosing line, and openings must not let a 125 millimetre sphere pass through. On higher falls there are also limits on climbable footholds. We confirm the specifics for your site at the measure so the finished barrier is built to what your project needs.

We work right across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the wider Hunter. That includes Newcastle City and the beachside suburbs such as Merewether, along with Hamilton, New Lambton, Charlestown, Kotara, Adamstown, Mayfield and Wallsend. Around Lake Macquarie we cover Cardiff, Warners Bay and Belmont, where lakeside decks, view glass and pool fencing are common. If you are nearby and not sure whether we reach you, give us a call on 0485 032 128 and we will let you know.
