At Real Fencing Hawke’s Bay, we install pool fencing that keeps your family safe, looks great in your outdoor space, and meets all local safety laws. Whether you’re building a new pool or upgrading an old barrier, we’ve got you covered with practical, modern options suited for Hawke’s Bay homes.
Whether you prefer sleek glass or practical mesh, we offer a range of pool fencing styles to suit your space and budget
Tempered glass panels create a clean, open look without compromising safety. Frameless options are popular for newer homes, while semi-frameless fencing is more budget-friendly.
Rust-resistant and low maintenance. Aluminium is a reliable choice for those wanting long-term durability without ongoing upkeep. Available in a range of colours and decorative designs.
Natural timber fencing offers a warm, traditional look that complements outdoor living spaces. Can be built to meet safety requirements while adding natural charm to your pool area.
Low-maintenance PVC fencing never needs painting or staining. Available in white and other colours, it provides a clean, classic look that’s perfect for family pool areas.
Some inspiration for your Hawke’s Bay Pool Fence project
We follow New Zealand’s F9 building code, which outlines what your fence needs in terms of structure, height, gate function, and more.
We also work with you to help pass council checks on the first go. If you’re unsure about your current setup, we offer inspection and upgrade services.
All pool gates are fitted with latches that meet NZ safety requirements and hinges that close automatically behind you.
We make sure gates are not only strong but also placed to reduce climbing risk — keeping handles out of reach and avoiding nearby climbable objects.
Need your pool fence to double as a pet barrier? We can make adjustments to suit your space, whether it's beside a playground or across the lawn.

We’ve worked with homeowners across Napier, Hastings, and Havelock North, helping create secure pool areas that don’t cut corners
Real Fencing is locally operated, which means we understand the region's building codes, weather conditions, and soil types. Our reputation in Hawke's Bay is built on trust, quality, and consistent follow-through.
We use materials that handle Hawke's Bay's mix of sunshine, wind, and coastal air — including rust-resistant aluminum and UV-safe tempered glass.
We design and install every fence to meet New Zealand's residential pool fencing rules, including required heights, self-closing gates, and gaps under the fence.
Our team is focused on doing the job right the first time, with attention to detail and commitment to safety that gives you complete peace of mind.

In New Zealand, pool fencing must meet the Building Code Clause F9, which sets out safety standards to reduce the risk of drowning. Your fence must be at least 1.2 metres high, with no gaps larger than 100mm, and include self-closing, self-latching gates. There must also be a 1.2m no-climb zone around the outside of the fence — meaning no objects or structures nearby that children could use to climb over.
At Real Fencing Hawke’s Bay, we build fences that are fully compliant with NZ law and tailored for local conditions. If you’re unsure about your fence’s compliance, we can inspect, upgrade, or rebuild it to meet the standard.
Pool fencing costs in Hawke’s Bay typically range from $180 to $450+ per metre, depending on the material, layout, and site conditions. Simple PVC fences are usually more affordable, while custom timber, steel, or aluminium fences cost more due to added labour and material strength. Features like sloped terrain, additional gates, or compliance upgrades can also affect pricing.
At Real Fencing Hawke’s Bay, we offer free site visits to give you an accurate quote based on your pool, property, and fencing needs. Our goal is to build a fence that’s compliant, safe, and suited to your budget — with no hidden surprises.
Most pool fence installations in Hawke’s Bay are completed within 2 to 5 days, depending on size, materials, and site access. Repairs are usually quicker, often done in just a day if parts are available.
We work efficiently while keeping to NZ safety standards, so you’re not waiting around. If you’re in Napier, Hastings, or surrounding areas, book your install or repair with Real Fencing Hawke’s Bay and we’ll get it sorted quickly.
In most cases, you do not need a building consent if your pool fence meets the New Zealand Building Code Clause F9 and follows the acceptable solutions. This includes meeting the 1.2m height requirement, safe gate functions, and appropriate barrier placement.
However, if your pool fence design falls outside standard rules — for example, using non-traditional materials or integrating retaining walls — you may need consent. Real Fencing Hawke’s Bay can help you determine this during the planning stage.
In coastal areas like Te Awanga, Mahia, and Bay View, corrosion resistance is key. Aluminum pool fencing is often the best option due to its rust-proof finish and low maintenance needs. PVC and powder-coated steel are also popular choices—they’re tough against salty air and sun exposure.
If you’re near the coast in Hawke’s Bay, we’ll recommend the right materials for long-lasting performance in your location. Contact Real Fencing Hawke’s Bay for a quote based on your exact site conditions.
