We found Peter, the Pool Fence Doctor, from other online reviews. We had complex issues including an old brushwood boundary fence and upper deck as part of pool area. Peter came up with brilliant solutions which not only look great but also gave us a safe and compliant pool area. We couldn't be happier with the result and he was a pleasure to deal with. He was exceptional in every way, from his communication throughout, the detailed quote and design plans, and the flawless quality of his work. Nick Elsey01/06/2024 Peter was a joy to work with. The work was of a very high quality and our pool sailed through its compliance inspection. I would thoroughly recommend. Graeme Burke09/10/2023 Peter and the team at Pool Doctor provided an excellent quality solution to our complex pool fence needs. His communication and thorough preparation ensured no surprises. The eye for detail and professionalism resulted in both a great looking and importantly compliant pool fence Peter Gowers05/09/2023 Peter provided excellent service.

Great work guys, keep up the innovation!! David Giles03/11/2020 We had a very tricky older style pool that the council had declared non compliant. Peter was able to use his experience and expertise to explain what needed to change and what needed to be replaced. We now have a beautiful new fence and important safety changes to make the pool compliant. Peter was very professional, completing all works to a very high standard. Ben D31/10/2020 We contacted Peter after council declared our pool non compliant and he helped navigate the complex requirements and difficulties of our site coming up with a design that looks good and has just been signed off as compliant by the council. He was prompt, efficient and easy to deal with and we are very happy we used this service. Wild Greens10/09/2020 I found Peter the Pool Fence Doctor (on Google). Peter was super quick to respond to my call, he came to inspect our fence within a couple of days of calling him and identified how to fix our non-compliance issues AND save our gorgeous Frangipani tree. Peter returned and did a brilliant job in-keeping with the existing fence and built the fence around our tree. He knows his stuff, did an amazing job, quick, efficient and cleaned up afterwards. We would not hesitate in recommending Peter.
SOLUTIONS
Already have a current certifier or council report?
Not happy with what they have suggested?
Read below what many councils are saying in their reports
"Council officers do not provide design advice, nor do they have any preferences in respect of materials used in barriers. All new barriers and modifications must comply with the standards in respect to height, structural strength, and non-climbable zones. It is up to the pool owner, and experts employed by them, to make design and construction decisions." Ryde Council swimming pool inspection - END OF SCHEDULE - certifiers report June 2020

Alternative Solution?
Do you know that you do not necessarily have to do what the certifier suggests you to do as there may be other alternatives that will still make your pool area compliant?
If you are in this situation and currently under a certifiers report, we at Pool Fence Doctor® may be able to offer an alternative rectification solution so you can still obtain that Certificate of Compliance.
Do you know that our main point of difference with the average pool fence installer is that we are also fully NSW accredited E1 Swimming Pool Certifiers, so we know all the rules?
Do not gamble with contracting your new pool fence to just any installers – ask them are they fully accredited like us!
We at the Pool Fence Doctor® will listen to your concerns, whether they are to do with existing hedges around boundary fences, privacy or any other non-compliant related issues, we may be able to give you the outcome that you want.
We have years of practical experience in offering solutions from outside the square with these challenges.
UPGRADE
In NSW the certifier can examine your pool under 3 standards (depending on when your pool was originally built )
- AS1926 - 1986 Standard
- AS1926.1 - 2007 Standard
- AS1926.1-2012 Standard
When the Council or E1 Certifier examines your pool they will be looking for any non compliancy issues. If any are found it may cause a trigger for then to upgrade your pool to be inspected with the latest Australian standard AS1926.1-2012.
We can arrange an upgrade for your swimming pool barriers to AS1926.1-2012.

Boundary Fencing Made Compliant
The Boundary Fence tends to be the most common cause for non compliant pool barriers. With the introduction of AS 1926.1-2007 and AS 1926.1-2012 the boundary fence, which acts as a barrier to the pool, needs to be a minimum of 1800mm above FGL measured on the inside of the pool area. Plus there is a NCZ 5 which is a quadrant of 900mm radius down from the top of the inside of the barrier. Within this zone there can be no objects of things with indentations or projections greater than 10mm.
Pool Gates Not Self Closing or Latching - Bestko Hinges Not Working?
All Pool Gates need to open away from the pool area. All Pool Gates need to be able to self close from any position, without the use of force, including when the gate is just resting on the latch. A Non Compliant pool gate is the most common way that a young child usually gets access to the pool area. Make sure that your Pool Gate complies with the standards. Bestko soft close hinge replacements.
Compliance Certification Guaranteed
Once your pool has been successful upgraded or new Glass or Aluminium pool fence has been installed to your Certifiers Report they will forward to you a valid Certificate of Compliance. We at Pool Fence Doctor® can help guide you with the best method to secure that Certificate and we do not necessarily have to follow the certifiers recommendations, in fact, we often ring the certifier to discuss any possible alternative and once they agree we will Guarantee Compliance for your pool fence and barriers
Contact us now to upgrade or install a new pool fence or if you already have the Council or E1 Certifers Non Compliance Report
Council or E1 Certifiers Report
The Council or E1 Accredited Certifiers Written Notice of Non Compliance is a document that will be issued to you if your pool is not compliant. It will state what are the issues with your pool and will generally refer back to the standard that it does not comply with.
We at The Pool Fence Doctor® are also fully Accredited NSW E1 Certifiers and are fully trained & experienced with the 3 NSW Standards (AS1926-1986, AS1926.1-2007 & AS1926.1-2012) We know what we need to do to get your Pool Fencing Safe & Certified with a minimum of expense. We encourage you to think twice before you decide to give your pool upgrades to any Handyman or Fence Installer? Ask them if they are fully familiar with all the rules pertaining to the 3 NSW Australian Standards. (Please Note: - once we complete your pool rectifications we cannot issue a certificate of compliance due to conflict of interest but encourage you to seek independent certification for your pool barriers or we can suggest one for you.
