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.

  • 1200mm minimum barrier height
  • Maximum 100mm gaps at the bottom
  • Self-closing, self-latching gates

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.

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 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.
