Pool fencing in Australia typically costs between $180 and $600 per linear metre installed (as of February 2026), depending on the material you choose. For a standard residential pool requiring around 20 linear metres of fencing, that translates to a total investment of roughly $3,600 to $12,000 or more.
Material choice is the biggest cost driver. Aluminium is the most budget-friendly compliant option at $180–$300 per metre, and it’s the most widely installed across South East Queensland. Timber sits in a similar range at $200–$350 per metre, though ongoing maintenance costs – sealing and repainting every few years – add to the lifetime figure. Glass is the premium option, ranging from $200 per metre for semi-frameless through to $600 or more for fully frameless installations, which are particularly well-suited to luxury pool and infinity pool designs.
Beyond material, site complexity, pool perimeter length and the number of gates all influence your final cost. Planning your fencing as part of the overall build from the start – rather than as an afterthought – helps avoid budget surprises.
