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 semi
frameless glass pool fencing Perth.
