Loud and proud

Fences do not usually get reviews.
This one does.

Every week somebody in a Facebook pool group asks the same question. “Has anyone used Pool Perf fencing before? Would love to hear any thoughts/feedback” was one. “Any regrets on getting pool perf fencing?” was another. And every time, the owners answer, with photos. We have collected 254 of those answers here, word for word as they were posted, spelling, emoji and all. Add the 325 verified reviews collected through Quotient, and that is over 500 people telling you the same thing.

If you are still deciding, this page is for you. Read what they say about glass, cleaning, the view, the breeze, the kids and the dogs. Then tap any photo to see it full size.

The ones that say it all

Six owners.
Six reasons.

Each of these six wrote about something different. Between them they cover nearly every reason people choose PoolPerf®: the cleaning that stopped, the view that stayed, the breeze, the safety, the service, and the plain fact that they love looking at it.

We had glass at our previous house. Yeah it looked great once cleaned. But once it got any pool water on it it looked terrible. Hard work cleaning it! Got Pool Perf for the new house. Absolutely love it. No cleaning, no unexpected shattering. Great air flow and looks schmick

This is our Pool Perf fence - we previously had frameless glass and I don’t feel the Pool Perf has made the area feel any smaller, and we have no issues at all with visibility. What we do have is 2 hours back each week that I used to spend trying to keep the glass fence clean lol

Highly recommend pool perf fencing

We had glass around our last pool and find we can see better through the pool perf…..plus we were always cleaning the glass and on cold mornings/humid days, the glass would fog up, so couldn’t see through it….and birds kept flying into it and dying in and around the pool area

“Why on earth would anyone get glass?” Pete Mellors, on Facebook.

A real thread, on a real Facebook group

Someone asked:
“Any regrets on getting pool perf fencing?”

Kath posted the question in the Pool Owners Australia group. She was weighing up glass or PoolPerf®. These are the owners who answered her, in the order they came in.

Kath Bunny · asked the Pool Owners Australia group

Any regrets on getting pool perf fencing ?
Considering glass or perf.
Thank you

  1. Absolutely no regrets for us. Love it, only wish we did it earlier! Had glass previously and it always needed cleaning, if sitting on the other side of fence it was harder to be heard in the pool without standing to talk over the glass and no breeze passed through the glass..

    Stacey BrasherPool Owners Australia group · 2026

  2. Absolutely love our perf fence, we would never go glass for a number of reasons.

    Kim CalvertPool Owners Australia group · 2026

  3. Absolutely none. Love it and love the no cleaning

    Samantha BowlesPool Owners Australia group · 2026

  4. Love our pool perf had it installed just over a month ago

    Amanda StrybosPool Owners Australia group · 2026

  5. Nope, we love ours! Also have glass balustrading but this is for fall prevention as pool deck is 1.2m off the ground.

  7. No regrets. Pool Perf is great. It's so easy to clean & won't shatter. No need to worry about getting shattered glass fence out of the pool..

    you won’t regret it, one you get your design you will find yourself just looking at it

    Nicole ClothierPool Owners Australia group · 2026

  12. No regrets. Looks great and low maintenance. Yes it's expensive, even more so for the genuine stuff. But genuine gets you more colour choice and panel span up to 3m which means less posts.

    Lee GrecoPool Owners Australia group · 2026

  13. No regrets, no dog nose or hand smears, and it lets air flow through since it runs along our patio, otherwise it would have boxed it in

    Stephie SimmonsPool Owners Australia group · 2026

  14. you'd see through it better than. Pool perf is fabulous

    Emily JonesPool Owners Australia group · 2026

  15. perf, low maintenance, looks stunning, i love the fact you can personalise it. Glass is known to shatter, it marks easy and is a pain to keep clean, especially if you have a bore. We've had both now and would never go back to glass.

    Tracy De BoniPool Owners Australia group · 2026

  16. Love our pool perf and everyone comments positively on it.

The glass alternative, in their words

So glad
we didn’t go glass.

Many of these owners had glass at their last house, or still have a run of it. They are the ones who can compare. Read what they say about fog, streaks, dog noses, cleaning and panels that shatter, then read why PoolPerf® is the glass alternative.

And the people who went glass

“I have glass
and regret it.”

Not everyone on these threads owns a PoolPerf® fence. Some went glass, and they were honest about it. Lisa posted the photo of her gate.

… definitely replacing with pool perf

Lisa GreenPool Owners Australia group · 2023

I have glass and regret it! Looks lovely when clean but water marks all the time and I can’t be assed cleaning it all the time

if I had my time again I would do the perf or angled slats in black

Tenille JewellPool Owners Australia group · 2025

Wish I had this instead of 20m glass.. What a nightmare to clean

Rima HawcharPoolPerf® on Facebook · 2023

How good does that fence look! I was looking into that style and now wish I did. My Glass is always dirty from little fingers.

Amanda AndrewsPool Owners Australia group · 2024

I’d have perf if I had my time again. We have white usual currently.

Kay WooldridgePool Owners Australia group · 2025

We had no budget left for pool perf otherwise would have gone with that. Glass is a terrible idea for a pool yard. Hard to keep clean and can randomly shatter.

Haley HolmesPool Owners Australia group · 2024

you will find glass also gets more dirty up against grass. I have to clean all ours after we have mowed.

Holly CastlesPool Owners Australia group · 2025

Hear it from them

Three owners
on camera.

Comments are one thing. These three families said it to a camera. Press play and the sound is on.

Low maintenance

Summers you spend in the pool.
Not cleaning it!

This is the thing owners bring up more than anything else. Rain does most of the work. A hose does the rest. Jo has not cleaned hers in three years, and she posted the photo to prove it.

Visibility

“You can see
straight through it.”

The question we get asked most is whether you can see the pool through it. Sixty-three percent of every panel is open air. Here is how that works out in a real backyard, from the people watching their kids through it.

“What we do have is 2 hours back each week that I used to spend trying to keep the glass fence clean.” Jo Bo, on Facebook.

Airflow

The breeze
gets through.

A glass fence turns a pool yard into a hot box. Every PoolPerf® panel lets the air through, and on a 40 degree day that is the difference between using the pool and hiding inside.

I chose pool perf over glass due to heat, cleaning and safety when mowing next to it! If I did glass I would have had a hot box of an area! I LOVE it!

Great fence glad we got it. Been 40c here in SA, imagine a glass fence trapping in all that heat.

Pete MellorsPoolPerf® on Facebook · 2021

glass I’m not a massive fan of, especially all 4 sides as there is no air flow and the pool area is like an oven on a hot day. Pool Perf is a relatively new product so still quite expensive but is a very solid and well made product from what I’ve seen.

You spend big cash on pool why not spend big on pool perf We did and it was

a no brainer Maintenance free Beautiful air flow on hot days Looks aesthetically amazing passes compliance with flying colours WIN WIN

Terri MournellisPool Owners Australia group · 2024

it’s been absolutely fine , it’s fully perforated . We used normal fencing on the far side to cut costs

Cherie Anne PearsePool Owners Australia group · 2023

… Installed ourselves. Good for airflow and no cleaning

Kylie AbbeyPool Owners Australia group · 2023

Seen this product around and it's beautiful! Air flow and the aesthetic look is wonderful, still makes the place look roomy. With glass I notice a build up and you have to clean it often, this type of fencing is low maintenance!

Safety and strength

Kids, dogs, basketballs
and the mower.

A pool fence has one job before any other: keep small children away from the water. Owners also notice what it shrugs off. Storms. Balls. Rocks off the mower. Years of sun. See why families choose PoolPerf®.

Worth it

“Worth
every cent.”

Owners are upfront that PoolPerf® costs more than glass. They are just as upfront about why they would pay it again. You buy a pool fence once.

The compliments

“Everyone
comments on it.”

Plain PurePerf® or one of the designs, black or white or a colour nobody else has, the neighbours notice. Browse the designs and colours or the white pool fences.

Two ways to get one

Did it themselves.
Had it done.

Some owners measured, ordered from the factory and put it up on a weekend. Some had a professional installer do the whole job. Both ended up in the same place: very happy. Which path is right for you?

Put it up themselves

Australian Made - PoolPerf

Australian made, and easy to deal with

“Pool Perf is
the original.”

PoolPerf® is Australia’s original perforated pool fencing, engineered, designed, perforated, powder coated and assembled right here in Queensland. Owners notice the difference when they order, when it arrives, and years later.
