Competitor Comparison
18. Are all perforated pool fences the same?
No. Kit form perforated fencing requires on-site assembly, which can:
- Lead to incorrect assembly and non-compliance
- Damage panels and coatings
- Reduce strength and rigidity
Pool Perf® Advantage:
- Professionally assembled in a controlled factory environment
- Interlocking frame system locks the sheet into the frame for reduced twist and maximum strength
- Built to exact specifications for AS 1926.1 compliance
- Delivered ready to install with compliance documentation
Pool Perf® vs Kit Form Perforated Fencing
| Feature / Factor | Pool Perf® | Kit Form Perforated Fencing |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly | Professionally assembled in a controlled manufacturing environment by trained experts | Requires on-site assembly, often by DIY or untrained installers |
| Compliance | Every panel built to exact specifications to meet AS 1926.1 | Risk of incorrect assembly leading to non-compliance |
| Frame Construction | Interlocking frame system locks sheet into frame for maximum rigidity and reduced twist | Frame relies on extrusion holding the sheet, which can flex and twist |
| Quality Control | Strict factory checks ensure consistent strength, safety, and finish | No guaranteed quality control after leaving supplier |
| Finish Protection | Powder coat applied and cured before assembly, minimising damage risk | On-site drilling/handling can chip or scratch coating, causing corrosion |
| Tools & Skills Needed | None — panels arrive ready to install | Requires correct tools, hardware, and knowledge to assemble safely |
| Strength & Durability | Interlocking frame + professional assembly for maximum strength | Loose fit or poor assembly can weaken panels over time |
| Peace of Mind | Delivered ready to install with compliance documentation | Buyer responsible for correct assembly and compliance checks |
