Pool barriers in Perth & Western Australia
Fix a pool fence toe hold in Perth and WA
In WA, your local council must inspect private pool safety barriers at least every four years. A common fail on Colorbond-style boundary fences is the ledge on the bottom rail – a toe hold a child can stand on.
- Councils across Perth inspect pool barriers on a rolling four-year cycle, usually charged through your rates.
- Harmony is the local name for the Metline-style profile common on WA boundary fences – the Harmony insert is designed for it.
- Made in Perth, north of the river. Grab them on free pickup, or have them posted anywhere in WA.
Final compliance is always your inspector’s call – these inserts deal with the toe hold, not the whole barrier. Source: WA Building and Energy – Rules for pools and spas
