Blade Pool Fencing

Blade is the sharp, contemporary one in the range. Narrow aluminium blades set in a slimline post frame — angled or run flat — give you a clean louvred line around the pool, with a degree of screening and airflow a see-through fence doesn't. It sits in the middle of the range: a step up from flat-top tubular, a step below frameless glass. Architectural aluminium, mid-tier.

Like any panel fence, the planning is where jobs go wrong: count panels off the run length and the corners, gate and a slope change everything, with a gap over 100mm failing inspection. The calculator does that for you — give it your runs, corners, gate and ground and it returns the exact panel, post and gate count, including raked panels where the ground falls, so you order once and it goes together compliant.

• The panels. Blade-profile aluminium — narrow blades, angled or flat, set in a made-up panel. The blade spacing is fixed at the factory to be compliant, so there's nothing to gap out by hand; they arrive made and fix between posts.
• The posts. Slimline aluminium, set into concrete or surface-mounted to a slab or structure. The slim profile is part of the Blade look; the calculator works out post positions and count from your layout.
• Slopes. Where the ground falls, raked panels step the fence down while keeping the top line right — the calculator works out where you need them.
• The gate. A matching gate panel with self-closing, self-latching hardware — a hard rule for pool gates. Included, sized to your opening.
• The finish. Powder-coated aluminium; black is the most popular by a wide margin. Doesn't rust or rot, and takes coastal weather.

• The louvred look. The blade profile reads as a deliberate design choice, not just a barrier — a clean, architectural line around the pool.
• Some screening, some airflow. The angled blades soften sightlines and let a breeze through, where an open tubular fence gives you neither.
• Mid-tier, not budget. Design-forward aluminium that sits about level with BARR — above flat-top tubular, below glass.
• DIY, planned right. Made-up panels fix to posts; the calculator gets the count and layout right so it passes first time.
• It carries through to your balcony. Blade runs as a balustrade too, so you can match a pool fence to a deck or balcony in the same system.

Pool fencing answers to AS 1926.1. What touches a Blade fence:

• Height. At least 1200mm, ground to top.
• Gaps. Nothing that passes a 100mm sphere — between blades, between blades and the frame, or under the panel, at any point. Blade spacing is factory-set to meet this; the calculator keeps the layout (corners, gate, posts) compliant too.
• Non-climbable zone. A 900mm clear zone with nothing climbable.
• Gate. Self-closing, self-latching, opening away from the pool.

The calculator's built to these, so the layout sits inside them by design. Final sign-off is your council or a pool-safety inspector — rules vary by state, covered in Pool Fencing Regulations, State by State.
