2) They brand of glass fence I should use?
3) What kind of costs should I be expecting (130-150 ft)

Why would you want a glass fence? I don't even allow glass bottles around the deck of my pool.

With our hard water, I could not imagine how much work it will take to keep it clean. Maybe your maid/pool service could help with that though...

I saw them a lot in Australia and think they look a lot nicer than typical pool fences. From what I heard the upkeep is not too bad. I have a 2 year old and one on the way so my main motivation is protection, but needs to look nice. Any other recommendations for pool fences in general? I want to block off my patio from the pool.

I can't imagine glass anything with young kids. They wreck everything! I think it looks great but you need something more practical and durable with young kids IMO.

That's absolutely gorgeous but I'd be terrified a lawnmower or weed eater would toss something at a panel and crack it. Or that my feisty 3 year old would. We have a black pool fence and I HATED it the day it was installed but I'm used to it and it just blends in now.

Call these people and see if they can tell you who installs their prodct in texas.

There really shouldn't be much to the installation besides drilling holes in the deck and mounting the supports.

You could just buy the supports somewhere and get them installed and find a good local glass shop to do the tempered glass.

Your only option for this endeavor is tempered glass and that will be expensive as fck. Just stick a tie-out in the yard and shorten the kid's leash so that he can't reach the pool.

Thanks for the feedback. The hockey rink look is actually what I am going for minus the Canadians. Also works well for backyard royal rumbles. Streetfighter, I'll shoot you a message.

Let us know when you get a quote for the glass. Those brackets from that styleguard place look easy to install. Even if they sell the brackets at a premium because they are "pool fencing" a glass company probably has the same things available.

You could probably call brinswinger (sp) glass and get a quote for the glass.


Will do.

Put a second lock at the top of your door and be done with it. Also, we sent our 2-year old to swim lessons at the Y and he is an amazing swimmer... will dive down to the bottom for rings and everything. He can swim across the pool and has great form. That said, we never leave the kids alone outside and I don't think any parent should do that, so why would you need a pool fence?

I don't think they make glass able to withstand a drunken Aggiemf2006 Smash.

Unfortunately I've tested this theory to be true.

If they made tempered glass beer bottles, we could take them everywhere!

Bumping this thread to see if OP ever found a contractor, or if anyone else has any new ideas.

The best company in Texas for Glass Fencing is Pool Safety USA. Locally owned and operated. Check out their website. Www.poolsafetyusa.com. Tell them Steve O sent ya. Maybe they will give you a discount. Wish I could post the fence they did for me.

I'm seeing images of wet children running full speed into that fence.

Don't forget the number of birds that come in for a drink that will die.

We did the black fence, which I didn't love, and then went with the net cover when we moved. Once you get used to it, it is pretty easy and you can roll it out of the way. And it worked. Our two year old jumped off the diving board and bounced right off, laughing his arse off. The extra lock and watch them theory is good in principle, but kids always find a way.

We used Katchakid. Here's a pic of what it looks like.
