Pool fence safety requirement

Page 1 of 1
Good day,

I have had a pool installed and the no climb zone safety requirement is confusing me.

The pump station is against a 1.8m high boundary fence inside the pool area. Reading the information below from the SPASA website I am wondering if a fillet at the top of the fence will make this complaint or I need to put an enclosure around the pump station.

****
Climbable objects or surfaces should not encroach on the 900mm non climbable zone on the inside of Boundary Fences (1.8m). If a Horizontal Surface is located within the NCZ then a fillet is an acceptable solution which would rectify the problem
****

For the water tank, is this considered a climbing risk? Do I need to put up a screen.

Note, all this is inside the pool area protected by a compliant fence.

Photos to show areas in question.

Thank you.





Best option is to get to engage a pool fence certifier now. They will tell you the best option in their opinion to make the fence comply. We have a had a couple of inspectors, normally you pay for the first visit and send photos as proof the concerns were fixed
