Over to you!!
 
We are in the process of ordering our pool fence (better late than never!!!)

Mick wants glass...although it does look nice I cant justify the price. I have picked out a really nice black wrought iron design instead......that will go with the rest of the garden...all the pots are black and the gazebo is also in black.

What do you lot think?

personally if it were me i'd go the black iron
glass probably does look nice.... when it's new and not water marked or covered in dead bugs and stuff...

Black def... glass would be a nightmare I would think.. you can repaint the wrought iron in about 5 years and it would look brand new..

We have a glass fence to the side of our courtyard (there's a 8 ft drop the other side) and it's completely clean after 18 months - no attention.

I was so surprised I went into the supplier and asked if it was special glass - no.

I wouldn't have anything BUT glass - this obsession with ugly pool fencing is ghastly and if we lived somewhere where the climate made a pool worthwhile I think it would stop me having one!

We have got a mixture of the two, but we did not go with black, we actually got jasper (like a pale brown colour) as that is the colour of the roof of the house, and it blends in really well. We ended up with balustraded glass fencing but without the upright pieces and it looks really good, and cleans easy too
