The setting
Pool surrounds combine constant damp, splashing, chlorine or salt, and full sun. Timber screens and linings here weather and rot quickly, and pool fencing has its own compliance rules.
How to use it
Use battens to screen pool equipment and create privacy, and a warm woodgrain lining for a poolside cabana or pergola ceiling. Pool fencing itself must meet compliance, so it is detailed accordingly rather than treated as decorative screening.
Why aluminium suits it
Aluminium handles the wet, chemical-laden poolside environment far better than timber and will not rot at ground fixings. The warm finish brings a resort feel that holds up season after season.
