Whether revamping your pool in time for spring or upgrading your security, planning is essential.

A trip to the hardware store early is a great start. The team at Bunning's is more than happy to help with any of your enquiries. If you want to give your pool a touch of hotel chic or simply a little more privacy to your home, the experts will give you the tools and the knowledge to make it happen.

Building a fence isn’t the daunting task it might seem. With a little careful planning it can be a simple, low budget way to refresh your garden area and maximise your security. With so many colours and styles, as well as a range of DIY guides and brochures available to help guide you through the project, building your own fence has never been so easy.

By choosing a design that complements the style of your home, office or pool area, you can combine style, security and functionality. Bunning's Team Members can offer expert advice on what style is best suited for your project, and can help you choose from the huge range of materials, colours and sizes to ensure all your requirements are met.

Glass styles are a popular starting point. This budget option fits in well with modern homes and offers a low-maintenance and long-lasting finish. For those with a barbecue, or if you just like to catch some rays in the summer months, it also acts as an effective windbreak. Aluminium and stainless steel options also provide a chic finish, easy installations and the highest possible safety standards.

Other options include completely frameless styles, which allow total ease of installation, a seamless look and a sleek finish; semi-frameless systems, which are ideal for uneven ground; and Quikwire fencing, which allows for flexible designs. You can even mix and match styles, as many of the products complement each other well. Whatever your style and functional needs are, the staff at your local Bunning's store can guide you towards the best option for you.

Top tips for a perfect pool

• Check with your local shire or council regarding regulations before making any purchasing decisions.
• Decide what you want from your pool area before you commit. Focusing on the effect you want to achieve will save you money and ensure the project reaches Australian installation standards.
• Plan carefully. Consider where your barbecue and furniture will be positioned, and ensure it’s not installed near any climbable areas, such as large trees or walls.
• Consider what you’re looking for in a pool fence and build accordingly. Do you need better privacy? Opt for tinted glass, etc.
• Pick up an Enduroshield kit when you purchase your fencing and you’ll reduce cleaning time by up to 90 per cent and keep your pool area looking pristine for longer.
