Common FAQs
Can picket and slat balustrades be used for pool fencing?
While AMR’s slat balustrades and slat fencing offer a stylish, durable solution ideal for creating privacy around pool areas, it’s important to note that to comply with Australian pool safety standards, any fencing directly enclosing a pool must feature vertical elements to prevent climbing.
