5 easy steps to plan your glass pool fence
-
Step 1: Take the measurements
Start by measuring the entire perimeter of your pool area. Accurate measurements will help you determine the number and sizes of the glass panels you need.
-
Step 2: Layout a detailed drawing
Create a detailed drawing of your pool area. Mark the locations of the door and fixed panels, and include all relevant measurements. This drawing will serve as your guide throughout the planning and installation process.
For the space between the panels, calculate a minimum of 1/2" and a maximum of 3/4" to 1" (for the glass connectors).
-
Step 3: Begin with the door and the fixed panel with cutout
Plan to position the door and the fixed panel with a cutout first in your layout. These elements will be your starting points, helping you align the rest of the panels correctly.
-
Step 4: Plan the remaining panels using our in-stock dimensions
From the starting points, plan the placement of the remaining glass panels. Use the dimensions of the panels we have in stock to ensure a proper fit. Adjust your drawing as needed to accommodate these dimensions and maintain a balanced layout.
