Glass pool fencing is a popular way
to block off unwanted animals or wayward children from your pool. However, you
want to make sure that your pool fence is installed properly and follows the guidelines
provided by the city of Perth. Here are directions so that you can install glass pool fencing Perth
at your leisure.
Footing
You will need to create a concrete
footing for your glass panels. A good rule of thumb is to make the concrete
slabs each one-foot by one-foot. Use chalk to mark where you will be placing
the panels.
Attaching Spigots (For Frameless)
Lay each panel on a table or other
similar surface. At the bottom of the glass, attach the spigot.Maneuver the
glass panels to the spot that you want them on the concrete foot, and trace the
outline of the spigot (or posts) so that you can see where to drill into the
concrete.
Drilling
Drill a five-inch deep hole that is
a pinch larger then the spigot or post mark you traced.
Level
Stand the glass pool fencing up on
its drilled home and check to ensure that the glass panel is level. Place the
cover plates over the spigots, holding them to the glass with tape.
Attach
Place each panel in its spigot
hole, double checking to ensure it's level. When you are satisfied, use small pieces
of wood to wedge the spigot into it's rightful place.
Resin
Finally, mix epoxy resin and squirt
it into each spigot hole. It will take approximately fifteen minutes to dry
(this varies by brand). When it is totally dry, remove the tape and let the
cover plates fall over the spigot holes.
When you are done, you will have
your own frameless or semiframeless glass pool fencing Perth.
