Doing frameless glass pool fence installation by yourself is not only a cost-effective choice but also a rewarding project that allows you to customize your pool area to your liking. In this guide, we’ll take you through the essential steps of preparing, ordering, and installing your glass pool fence.
Frameless Glass Pool Fence Installation Preparation
Preparing: Before you start, ensure you have all the necessary tools and materials ready. It’s essential to have a clear plan and understanding of the process before you begin.
Ordering: Once you have your plan in place, it’s time to order your glass panels and other materials. Make sure to double-check your measurements and panel sizes before placing your order.
Getting Ready: Lay out all the materials you received and prepare them for installation. Ensure that the posts are placed on a surface that won’t scratch the powder coat.
Tools of the Trade: Gather all the tools you’ll need for the installation, including a tape measure, spirit level, core drill, and screwdriver.
Execution
Preparing Holes: Mark out the post positions according to your plan and ensure they are accurately placed. Use a core drill to create holes for the posts, ensuring they are centered and at the correct depth.
Installing Posts: Slide in your aluminum stoppers and secure them with electrical tape. Position the posts in the core holes, ensuring they are centered and aligned. Use timber wedges to secure the posts and adjust them until they are straight and level.
Finishing Up: Once all the posts are in place, fill the holes with grout and clean any excess. Test the grout to ensure it has hardened before proceeding with placing the glass panels.
Placing Glass Panels: Insert plastic grommets into the posts and carefully place the glass panels on the stops. Use glazing rubber to secure the panels in place and trim any excess rubber.
Installing the Gate: Mount the hinges to the gate as per the instructions. Place the gate in position and align it with the top of the panels. Secure the gate in place and ensure it closes automatically.
