The addition of a new timber deck to this Forestville home will create an attractive and functional extension to the inground pool and outdoor entertaining.
New deck at Forestville. Pool entertaining area extension.
Previously, the area between the sliding doors and the pool featured a small grassy patch that constantly led to dirt and grass ending up in the pool. Replacing the grass with a practical and functional timber deck offered the perfect solution, creating a cleaner, more usable space.
The new layout flows seamlessly from the sliding doors onto a small landing, down to the timber deck, creating a natural transition from indoors to the pool area. This deck now offers an ideal space for outdoor dining or sun loungers, perfect for relaxing by the pool.
In addition to building the deck, we replaced the old landing and stairs leading from the door to the pool and front yard, ensuring a safe and stylish entryway. To complete the project, a new glass fence will be installed around the pool and deck, meeting Australian safety standards. This sleek, modern fencing not only ensures essential safety but also maintains an open, unobstructed view of the pool.
The final result is a welcoming outdoor retreat that combines functionality, safety, and style, ready for everyday enjoyment.
Custom built aluminium pool fence.
The next stage of this property renovation was the installation of a new pool fence.
With the pool located in the front yard and visible from the street, we needed a practical solution that offered privacy while enhancing the property’s value and street appeal with a stylish, modern appearance.
An aluminium slat fence proved to be the perfect solution, ticking all the boxes. The vertical slats, spaced with narrow gaps, provided excellent privacy, effectively shielding the pool area from neighbors and passersby. Its powder-coated dark grey finish seamlessly complemented the home’s contemporary design, adding a timeless and sophisticated touch.
To further enhance privacy and durability, we incorporated a composite board (also known as eco wood or mod wood) at the base of the fence. This eco-friendly material is completely opaque, ensuring additional coverage, while its matching dark grey finish seamlessly blended with the aluminium slats. Known for its durability, composite board is resistant to weathering, warping, and pests, requiring minimal maintenance and offering a long-lasting solution.
The aluminium slat fence was custom-built to a height of 1.8 metres, meeting pool safety regulations while maintaining the desired level of privacy. To conceal the pool filter and equipment, we constructed a matching screened enclosure with a gate for easy access, ensuring a neat and functional layout.
Unlike traditional cap and lap timber fences, aluminium slat fences are highly versatile and typically installed by carpenters and builders. They can be custom-designed to suit virtually any shape or style, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. Their powder-coated finish eliminates the need for repainting, protecting against rust and corrosion for years to come.
For added versatility, aluminium slat fencing can also be combined with frameless glass panels—offering an unobstructed view of the pool from one angle while maintaining privacy from others.
If you’re looking for a stylish, durable, and low-maintenance fencing solution, an aluminium slat fence is a fantastic option that enhances your property’s aesthetic while delivering the privacy and functionality you need.
With the pool at this property located in the property’s front yard, privacy was always a concern. The solution was an aluminium slat fence.
When it comes to fencing solutions for pools, especially those located in front yards, finding the right balance between privacy, style, and functionality is crucial. The choice of fencing not only impacts the overall look of your property but also plays a significant role in ensuring security and compliance with pool safety regulations.
At this property, we installed a stunning aluminium slat fence that perfectly addressed these concerns, offering privacy, a sleek modern design, and long-lasting durability.
The vertical slats, with small gaps between, added even more privacy from neighbours and passersby to see into the pool area. The powder-coated dark grey finish complemented the home’s aesthetic, adding a stylish, contemporary touch that will remain timeless.
At the bottom of the fence, we incorporated a composite board (also known as eco wood or mod wood). This eco-friendly material is both durable and visually appealing, adding extra privacy as it’s completely opaque. The composite board was painted to match the dark grey aluminium slats, creating a cohesive and polished look.
To comply with pool safety regulations, the aluminium slat fence at this property was built to a height of 1.8 metres. This ensures the area is both secure and private.
