Re: Glass pool fencing
Hi all.
Does anyone know of a company (I believe there are two or three doing it) that ship the glass pool fencing from the east coast to us here in WA. I am aware there are several glass fencing companies, but a very reliable source has told me they operate as a cartel, and all their prices are almost identical. On the east coast however where there is far more competition, companies are selling the identical product for less than half the price I have been quoted here in WA. I believe someone is shipping it to a newly opened place in Kewdale, then they either deliver or you can collect. Does anyone know more about it then those sketchy details I have provided. I have also seen it on eBay, but the sellers selling it are relatively new with not much feedback as yet. Also does anyone know the aus standards for these things??? Sorry for all the questions, but it costs a fortune.

Re: Glass pool fencing
are you sure it's a company in Kewdale you pick it up from not just the haulage yard. i've bought a couple of large items from companies who i've found via ebay and had to pick them up from a haulage company who handle things for these companies here in WA..... just a thought.

We decided against glass due to the cleaning and cost - we got some dark blue grey fencing that matches window frames and guttering which looks much better than beige !

Re: Glass pool fencing
we need glass as our pool is above and adjacent to our alfresco - with glass we should remain dry whilst eating !!

Re: Glass pool fencing
After extensive searching I am pretty sure these are the guys: http://www.diyglassfencing.com.au/default.asp prices seem to start from $128 per metre + fittings

Re: Glass pool fencing
that's good - did that include delivery ? Did you ask what their turn around times were ?

Re: Glass pool fencing
It was a $190 fee for delivery, and they can turn it around in no time at all, certainly no long waits, all the panels are in stock, That price also included all the posts and a gate with fittings, I really dont see how that can be beaten.
