Swan River Boating Conditions
Check current Swan River water levels, flow rates and boating restrictions that may affect your vessel’s condition and maintenance needs.
Yes. Frameless and semi-frameless glass is a popular choice for the elevated Applecross blocks with river outlooks, because it provides a compliant safety barrier without blocking the view toward the Swan or Canning Bridge. During your on-site assessment we’ll look at your pool position and sightlines, then recommend a panel layout and fixing method that keeps the outlook as open as possible while meeting WA pool barrier requirements.
Often, yes. Many established Applecross properties have pools and fencing installed long before current standards came into effect, and barriers from that era commonly fail modern compliance checks on gap widths, climbable zones and gate hardware. We can inspect your existing fence, explain exactly what no longer meets the rules, and advise whether targeted repairs or a full replacement is the more practical option for your block.
It can. Bore water is widely used for garden reticulation across Applecross, and mineral-heavy spray combined with the nearby river air accelerates corrosion on gate hinges, latches and fixings. Stiff or rusted hardware is a frequent cause of self-closing gates failing to latch, which is a compliance risk. We fit marine-grade stainless steel components designed to handle these conditions and keep gates operating safely.
