Why Pool Fencing is a Legal Must in NZ

New Zealand law requires all pools over 400mm deep to be fully fenced with a compliant barrier. This isn’t a guideline – it’s enforceable under the Building (Pools) Amendment Act 2016 and councils run inspections every 3 years. A non-compliant pool fence can result in fines or worse serious safety risks.

🛑 No climbable trees nearby.
🛑 No non-latching gates.
🛑 No excuses.

We handle design, compliance checks, and installation so you don’t have to stress over council paperwork or code violations.
