Frameless Glass Pool Fencing Spigots

Spigot-mounted frameless glass pool fence, 12mm toughened panels on stainless spigots, core-drilled into concrete or base-plated onto a slab. The calculator sizes the panels and builds it to AS 1926.1.

How it goes together

  • The glass. 12mm toughened safety glass to AS/NZS 2208. It can't be cut or drilled once toughened, so every panel is a fixed manufactured size - the calculator solves the right combination of widths to fill your runs without gaps.
  • The spigots. Marine-grade stainless, holding each panel vertical. Two mounts: core-drilled into a concrete slab and grouted (cleanest, most common on new pools), or base-plated, bolted down where you can't drill (tiled slab, timber deck). The calculator asks your surface and picks the fixing.
  • The family. Madrid Pool is the default, popular, cost-effective, right for most pools. Other families differ on finish and alignment; How to Choose the Right Spigot covers them.
  • The gate. Self-closing, self-latching hardware is a hard rule - the calculator includes compliant hinges and a latch.

The clean look: and yes, you can DIY it

Frameless glass pool fencing is the clean, view-keeping barrier everyone wants around a pool: 12mm toughened panels held upright by discreet stainless spigots - no posts, no rails, just clear glass between you and the water. Spigot-mounted is the most popular frameless system and the most DIY-friendly: the panels clamp into a pair of spigots fixed to your slab or deck, and that's the whole structure.

Most fencing companies will tell you a frameless pool fence has to go in by a pro. The honest reason it's hard isn't the lifting - it's getting panel sizes, gaps and spacing right so it passes, because toughened glass can't be trimmed on site. That's the part the calculator does: give it your runs, gate and fixing surface, and it returns a panel-by-panel plan and full parts list - glass, spigots, hinges, latches, fixings - sized to your pool and built to the rules. You order the kit, you install it, it passes.

The compliance bit, straight

Pool fencing answers to AS 1926.1. What touches your fence:

  • Height. At least 1200mm, ground to top of glass.
  • Gaps. Nothing that passes a 100mm sphere - under or between panels.
  • Non-climbable zone. A 900mm clear zone with nothing climbable.
  • Gate. Self-closing, self-latching, opening away from the pool.
  • Glass. Toughened to AS/NZS 2208.

The calculator's built to these, so the plan sits inside them by design. Your finished fence still gets signed off by your council or a pool-safety inspector - rules vary by state, laid out in Pool Fencing Regulations, State by State.

Frequently asked
Can I install a frameless glass pool fence myself?

Yes. The reason it's usually pitched as a pro-only job is the planning - getting panel sizes and gaps right so it passes, since toughened glass can't be cut on site. The calculator works that out for you and supplies a kit built to the rules. The install itself is fixing spigots and setting panels; plan for a helper, the 12mm glass is heavy.

How much does a frameless glass pool fence cost?

We're supply-only, so there's no install labour in the price - you pay for materials. The calculator gives an exact materials total for your job once you enter your runs and gate, rather than a vague per-metre guess. Glass pool fencing sits at the premium end of the fencing range.

How thick is the glass?

12mm toughened safety glass, made to AS/NZS 2208. That's the standard for frameless spigot pool fencing - the glass is the structure, so it's thicker than a framed system.

Does it meet Australian pool-safety standards?

It's designed to. The calculator builds your plan to AS 1926.1 - 1200mm height, the 100mm gap rule, the non-climbable zone, and self-closing, self-latching gate hardware. Final sign-off is done by your council or a pool-safety inspector, and the exact rules vary by state.

Can the glass be cut to fit my pool?

No - once glass is toughened it can't be cut or drilled, or it shatters. Every panel is a fixed manufactured width. That's why the calculator matters - it works out the combination of standard panel sizes that fills your runs without leaving a non-compliant gap.

Core-drilled or base-plated spigots, which do I need?

It depends on your surface. Core-drilled spigots set into a hole drilled in a concrete slab and grouted in, the cleanest finish, ideal for new pools. Base-plated spigots bolt to the surface for when you can't drill (a tiled slab, or a timber deck with a proper sub-frame). The calculator asks your surface and selects the right one.

Which spigot family should I choose?

Madrid Pool is the default - popular, cost-effective and right for most pool fences. Other families differ on finish, profile and how forgiving they are to align. The calculator defaults you to the sensible choice; the Choose the Right Spigot guide covers the differences.

What about the gate?

Pool gates must be self-closing and self-latching and open away from the pool - non-negotiable under AS 1926.1. The calculator includes compliant hinges and a latch in your plan, sized to your gate panel.
