A suitable pool balustrade should provide a clear boundary, good visibility and components appropriate for a damp environment. Glass balustrades are popular because they preserve views across the pool area while offering some wind shelter, making the space more comfortable to use.
Posts, fittings and fixings around pools should be selected to suit moisture and exposure to pool chemicals. Appropriate grades of stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium may be suitable depending on the environment. Consider child safety, climbing risks, openings and gates when planning the layout. A balustrade never replaces supervision of children; check the relevant local pool safety requirements.
