Glass Pool Fencing Balmain

Along the Iron Cove waterfront, from Cove Street toward Bayville Street, frameless panels leave the water in view. That stretch was subdivided as waterfront land, and the shore streets can fall away from the ridge. A gate on a stepped path has to meet the paving it closes, so we measure the step as well as the length of glass.

Sandstone kerbs and low or open front fences stay, including iron palisade and low brick of the same era as the house. The pool barrier goes around the water, behind the house.

The Valley is the dense pocket from Darling Street toward Rozelle Bay. The pool is often a small court. Frameless glass keeps it open to light, and a privacy screen takes the side where the next house looks in.

Waterview Estate is a conservation area, with Iron Cove and The Valley. Name the street. On each of them the fence stays discreet.

Side streets and lanes fall off the ridge, so the path to the pool often changes level. The gate belongs on the path people walk, where the leaf can close. Semi-frameless posts come in on a longer run that steps with the yard. When the panels are sound, we repair the gate and leave the glass.
