New Zealand pool fencing is governed by NZS 8500:2006 and the Building Act 2004. All new pool fences require a building consent. Key requirements include: a minimum height of 1.2m for the pool barrier itself; no climbable footholds within 900mm of the top of the fence; a self-latching gate that opens away from the pool; and any boundary fence forming part of the barrier must be 1.8m or higher.

Mako's pool-compliant products come with full structural drawings for consent purposes. These are available on each individual product page. If you’re not sure where your property sits, get in touch. Luke has worked through these requirements across most New Zealand councils and will make sense of it for you, so you know exactly where you stand.
