Pool Fencing in Hornsby

Hornsby sits on the edge of the Ku-ring-gai bushland, and the blocks reflect it. Sandstone shelves, steep falls away from the street, timber decks on posts and gardens that run into native bush are all standard here. Pools are frequently cut into a terrace partway down the slope, which means the barrier has to deal with a level change on nearly every run.

Two Hornsby conditions cause most compliance failures. The first is the fall itself, where a barrier that measures 1200mm at the house end is well short at the low corner unless it is properly stepped. The second is vegetation, because native shrubs and low limbs sitting inside the 900mm non-climbable zone are just as much a foothold as a chair. Both are assessed on site under AS 1926.1 before we quote.

Drilling into Hornsby sandstone and rock shelves takes the right equipment and a slower approach than a suburban slab, and we allow for that rather than discovering it on install day. You get a fixed written quote after a free measure. Reach our Hornsby installers on 0492 879 796 to arrange an inspection.

Pool Fencing Options in Hornsby

Aluminium Barriers

Deck Mounting

Barriers fixed to structural timber decks around elevated Hornsby pools, with fixings sized to the joist layout.

Rock and Sandstone

Core drilling and chemical anchoring into sandstone shelves and rock outcrops that are common across Hornsby properties.

Vegetation Clearance

Pool Fencing Hornsby FAQs

Can you install a pool fence on a steep Hornsby block?

Yes, and it is a large part of what we do in Hornsby. The barrier is stepped in level runs down the fall so the 1200mm minimum height is achieved at every point on the outside face, with the gap under each panel kept within 100mm. Where the fall is severe we may add a low kerb or trench a panel in to close the low side.

Do trees and shrubs affect pool fence compliance in Hornsby?

They can and often do. Anything that provides a foothold within the 900mm non-climbable zone measured from the top of the barrier is a compliance issue, and in bushland Hornsby gardens that includes low branches, dense shrubs, rockeries and log edging. We identify them at the measure so they can be pruned or removed before inspection.

How much does pool fencing cost in Hornsby?

Hornsby sites are rarely simple. Rock drilling, stepped runs, restricted access down a steep driveway and deck fixing all affect the labour. Rather than quoting a rate, we do a free site measure and give you a fixed written quote that reflects the actual conditions on your block.

Can the pool fence be fixed to my timber deck?

Yes, where the deck structure suits it. We fix through the decking into joists or bearers with correctly sized fixings, and on many Hornsby decks we add blocking beneath to spread the load. Glass on a deck needs a properly engineered fixing, not a surface plate screwed to boards.
