Where is the Best Place for a Pool Gate?
When installing new pool fences, we are often asked where is the best place for a pool gate?
It can be a decision based on many factors including where your pool is located compared to your house, personal preference and also safety.
If you’re undecided on the best location, talk to the team at Worth Pool Fencing before making this decision. Phone us on 0490 856 312 or send our team an online enquiry here.
Choosing the Best Pool Gate Location
Gate location is the most important element of the pool fence because everything gets designed around the gate location.
Gates can be wall mounted or they can be mounted to a hinged panel of glass. The smallest panel of glass you can attach a hinge to is 1m wide.
We find that the best looking option is hanging the gate from a glass panel and having it latch on to a glass panel. The larger the glass hinge panel, the better supported the gate will be.
You can upgrade to premium soft close hinges. These are really good quality and good for young children, so that you don’t have the noise of the gate slamming constantly.
Pool Gate Openings
Here are some factors to consider when deciding where you want your pool gate to go:
- The gate must open outwards away from the pool, be self-closing and self-latch.
- Also consider where your furniture will go (keeping in mind it needs to be far enough away from the fence).
- Consider your main exit from the house and entry to pool – what obstacles will be in the way.
- Think about what the easiest path will be between the house and the pool entry, it can become frustrating to have to walk to a pool gate on the left, and then go all the way to the right where your pool steps are.
