Builder wants shell fenced (fine) and if it’s within 3m of the house they want a trafficable hard cover. “clients responsibility to provide and maintain adequate safety fencing and/or covering (hard cover) to swimming pool shell at all times throughout construction. If the proposed swimming pool shell is positioned within 3000mm of a home (&/or proposed dwelling) the client must also install a Hard trafficable pool cover” Has anyone made their own cover. I’ve been quoted 4K which is absurd. Thoughts, experiences, recommendations - muchly appreciated. Hey KamadoJusto, We had similar situation - my other half built a cover for our pool shell during house build. Simple wooden frame around outside of pool, with a cross piece approx every 2m (70 by 30ml ply framing) and then corrugated iron sheets screwed down to wood. It ain't pretty but it's lasted the duration - 15 months at this point. Did you get it certified? And by who?

But we also had the pool fenced before the build started so not sure if that made a difference?

Our builder has said that the cover must meet OH & S guidelines - which is fine, I expect it to as well. Our pool contractor supplies the covers, says it's mostly frame, yellow tongue floorboards and sheet metal. Whole thing was about a grand. Not sure who exactly would CERTIFY a temporary cover. And why a fence and cover? Fence I can understand if the house is within 3000 of the pool as they'll have scaff etc up and need to move around. Both seems a bit OTT. Our pool guy did warn us though, that uncovered pools of the past (as in just fenced) did tend to become a dumping ground for the builders rubbish, and lunch remnants (milk cartons, food wrappers etc) YUCK. https://thomasarcherbuild.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html - Thomas Archer Homes - Custom Nouveau 41 Re: Temporary Trafficable Pool Cover 12Oct 13, 2019 7:30 pm Blacktea2sugars KamadoJusto I’m putting a pool shell in before the build.

Thanks mate. Does the builder require any paperwork to state it meets OHS. Or is it a visual inspection. I’ll have no issue having it to spec. When I’m done you’ll be able to drive a car over it if they wanted too. But it’s the certification/OHS standards I’m struggling with now.
