Glass Fencing
Como Glass Fencing for Riverside Pools and Outdoor Living
Our glass fencing in Como is the perfect combination of safety, durability, and modern design. Whether it’s for a pool, balcony, staircase, or outdoor entertainment area, glass panels create a sleek, open look while meeting the relevant safety standards. With their clean lines and minimal framework, glass fences offer an elegant alternative to traditional barriers, blending neatly into both older and contemporary homes.
More than just a functional safety feature, glass fencing enhances the overall aesthetic of your property. The transparency of the panels keeps views of your garden, pool, or the river clear, allowing natural light to flow freely and creating a sense of space. This makes it especially popular for homes with scenic outlooks, riverfront properties, and renovations that prioritise openness and flow.
From residential homes to townhouses and small apartment blocks, glass fencing is a versatile solution that delivers both practicality and sophistication. VV Glass is a glazing company based in nearby Engadine that installs, upgrades and repairs glass fencing throughout Como. What you pay mostly comes down to the fence run, glass style and thickness, gates, the surface we fix into and whether an old fence must be removed, and we respond promptly to every quote request.
Trusted Glass Fencing Installers in Como
Como is a riverside suburb where many homes date from the post-war decades onward, and plenty of backyards have pools installed long before current barrier rules existed. When these houses are renovated, sold or leased, the pool fence is often the first thing a certifier questions: gaps under old palings, gates that no longer latch, or boundary fences that do not meet AS 1926.1. Homes facing the Georges River add another layer, because owners want a barrier that is safe without blocking the water outlook they bought the property for.
We help Como owners bring older pools up to standard and refresh outdoor areas with glass that suits the house. That usually means inspecting the existing barrier, explaining what can stay and what needs replacing, then installing toughened safety glass with corrosion-resistant hardware and properly set gates. Old fencing can be removed as part of the job. We also fit balcony and deck balustrades on renovated homes. Explore our full glass fencing range.
How We Take Care of Glass Fencing in Como
Existing Barrier Assessment
We inspect your current pool fence, gates and boundary sections and explain clearly which parts fall short of AS 1926.1 and which can be kept.
Renovation-Friendly Planning
If you are renovating, we time the fencing around landscaping and paving so fixings go into finished surfaces and panels are not damaged by other trades.
Matching the Home
We suggest frameless, semi-frameless or balustrade glass that suits the house, whether it is a classic brick home or a modern riverfront rebuild.
Pre-Sale Readiness
Selling or leasing soon? We prioritise the items a certifier will check so your compliance certificate is easier to obtain.
What Glass Fencing for Your Como Property Can Include
Como projects often mix compliance upgrades with outdoor improvements. Typical items include:
Pool fence upgrades. Replacing non-compliant sections of an older barrier with glass panels.
Full frameless pool enclosures. Clean, spigot-mounted glass around new or resurfaced pools.
Compliant pool gates. Self-closing, self-latching gates that swing away from the pool.
Riverfront deck balustrades. Glass balustrades on decks and balconies facing the Georges River.
Alfresco glass screens. Panels that shelter outdoor dining areas from wind off the water.
Hardware and panel repairs. Fixing loose spigots, worn hinges and chipped or broken panels.
Old fence removal. Taking away existing fencing so the new glass can be installed cleanly.
You will get a scope that separates must-do compliance work from optional extras.
Bringing Older Como Pools Up to Standard on the Georges River
Many Como properties combine an older pool with a riverside setting, and the same issues come up again and again:
Outdated barriers. Pools built decades ago may have fences with gaps, low sections or climbable rails. We replace the problem sections with compliant glass.
Boundary fences in the barrier. Where a side or rear boundary forms part of the pool fence, its height and condition matter, so we check it and advise on options.
River humidity and salt. The tidal Georges River brings moist, slightly salty air that marks fittings, so we use corrosion-resistant hardware suited to coastal exposure.
Sloping riverfront yards. Lots falling toward the water often need stepped panels and careful fixing into rock or concrete.
Wind across the water. Decks and balconies facing the river catch gusts, so glass and fixings are selected under AS 1288.
Fixing these issues together saves repeat visits and gives you a barrier that is ready for inspection, sale or lease. It also means a cleaner, more open view of the river from your backyard and living areas.

Glass Fencing Across Como and Neighbouring River Suburbs
VV Glass installs glass fencing throughout Como NSW 2226, part of the Sutherland Shire Council area on the southern bank of the Georges River. We work on homes near Como Pleasure Grounds and the historic Como Bridge, riverfront properties around the marina and the bays west of the station, and family homes in the streets climbing toward Jannali. Each pool barrier is built to AS 1926.1 so it is ready for a Sutherland Shire Council or private certifier inspection.
We are based in Engadine NSW 2233 and reach Como along the Princes Highway to Sutherland, then through Jannali. That keeps us close to neighbouring Oyster Bay, Bonnet Bay, Como West, Jannali and Kareela, so we can measure, install and return for any adjustments without long delays. Our team also knows the narrow, hilly streets near the river, so we plan deliveries and parking before install day. From a single compliant gate to a complete glass pool enclosure or new riverfront balustrade, our team looks after your project from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
