Bayside homes, sloping blocks and pools that have been around for decades. Licensed pool safety inspections for Woody Point sales, leases and peace of mind, from an award-winning Peninsula inspector.
Woody Point is one of the Peninsula's oldest bayside suburbs, and many of its pools were built long before today's barrier rules. Over the years homes have been renovated, decks added and gardens have grown, and each of those changes can affect a pool fence that once passed without a problem.
The streets rising up from the foreshore and the jetty also mean plenty of sloping blocks. Where the ground changes level along a fence line, the barrier height has to be measured from the finished ground level outside the fence at every point, so a small retaining wall or garden step can be enough to cause a fail.
Fence heights are checked along the full length of the barrier, including where ground levels change and where steps or retaining walls could give a child a foothold.
Extensions, decks and new doors are checked for how they affect the barrier, including whether a wall of the house now forms part of the pool fence.
Salt air off Bramble Bay is hard on hinges, latches and gate springs. Every gate is tested to make sure it self-closes and self-latches from any open position.
