Any info both pros and cons would be great or another alternative for the same money. Bang for your buck so to say. Cheers Re: Highgrove Glass Pool Fence. 3Jan 01, 2013 12:36 pm We have just installed it on the remaining two sides of our pool. It is extremely heavy and hard work to install. But once done it looks fantastic like any glass fencing. Each panel weighs approx 30-50kg and you have to lift it a couple of times to get it right - my arms were dead for days afterwards. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Highgrove Glass Pool Fence. 4Jan 01, 2013 2:17 pm tengals compared to other apples to apples products, it's actually not really that cost effective. Heaps better deals and prices to be had.... Only really started looking, what other products compare in price to this?

Hi kyton, ive heard its quite hard to work with, at least i wont need to go to the gym for a couple of days after installing , do you have photos of the completed project? Would be great to see installed other than pictures provided by the supplier. Re: Highgrove Glass Pool Fence. 7Jan 04, 2013 12:32 pm Just finished installing Highgrove.... It is bloody heavy BUT other than that no problems at all... I will take some pic and send you... LOOKS great !! I was told only issue from quality point is if you want custom made glass it will appear different... From all my research it is pretty much good quality for what you pay for it....Thats the glass... I didnt however purchase Highgrove spigots I shopped around for these and got much better quality for half the price !!! Re: Highgrove Glass Pool Fence. 8Jan 05, 2013 6:32 pm Cheers seals that would be great, I know it's heavy but looks great. How'd you attach it?, to the deck, concrete or grass, thinking about different options for mine. Re: Highgrove Glass Pool Fence. 9Jan 05, 2013 6:47 pm highgrove glass isnt toughened properly, it wont shatter into blunt peices, they are sharp shards, there aluminium spigots deteriorate with salt , chlorine ie: the powder coat comes off and the aluminium oxidises and there expensive for trade but diy there are resonably priced Da Vinci Outdoor Living Architectural landscaping http://www.davincioutdoor.com Approvals are covered in the cost we are paying to the pool company.
