Your online tool is very useful. I have used it to calculate what a full glass pool fence will cost and it is less than what I am being quoted for a front panel only. You have saved me from overpaying. Even in this climate I do not think that labour should be 180% of the material cost I am sorry to say because that is just too much. People who need this work to be compliant also are doing it rough.
Hi Lee, great video mate! One tip for clearing those hammer drill holes. Grab a small battery blower and cut some hose at a length that’s comfortable with a 45 cut on one end, then Gaffa tape the hose in the end of the blower 😎 can clear those holes without the compressor setup and in most cases without the brush too 🤙🏽
Thanks for the video. Great timing as I’ve been looking into doing this myself as part of my current pool reno. I knew about the earthing, but had never seen the insulating kits for the spigots. Also good to see that threaded rod and Chemset will do the trick, as I wasn’t looking forward to core drilling and setting the spigots in that way.
I wish there was a trim piece at the corner where the glass meets at the corner or even black clips to make it look finished. Looks great otherwise, I guess a guy could put a laser level at the bottom or run a string line to ensure all the brackets are set at the height. I usually put a nut on the rod at the depth I want so I don’t pound them into the concrete to far. Your not getting them out if you do. Speaking from experience lol. I love the look of the frameless glass. Looks very clean. Great work.
Hi Lee, What threaded rod are you using? (Dimension and material) Would you recommend nylon lock nuts? Any reason you prefer this technique over core drilled spigots? Perhaps you could do a video of the pros/cons of each technique? Thanks - good video.
Thanks for the video! From your experience, what does it look better, longer or shorter glass panels? I have the option to install 1200mm or 1600mm panels, but I cant really visualize it :)
Hi Lee, I have a question for you . I have a travertine floor around the pool and i don’t think is concrete under the tiles , do you think the chemical concrete would help the spigots stay in place
No, a solid concrete footing is essential. There will come a day with strong winds and the glass panels will act like sails in the wind. If you do not have a good foundation the wind will rip the fence straight out of the ground and become extremely dangerous.
looks nice today, but I bet it isn't so attractive in a few years after being out in the rain, and I wonder how strong those things are? Looks liek they could be knocked over by a little person, or a soccer ball, etc. pretty easily.
@@leebenson77 hi, what is the thickness of the glass? Also is it laminated. Just about to buy a 10mm panel toughened with two spigots. Will the glass be strong enough?
You just blew concrete silica on to yourself and almost got in your face. Not smart you should of at least used a mask. But really you should of use a vacuum, and they even have now cordless drill with vacuum adapters.
Best video on glass fencing. Thx buddy
Thank you

Negative use a vacuum like everyone else. Everyone has a vacuum. unless you like creating silica dust and inhaling it.
Sounds like a plan
Hi mate - thanks for the video. Just wondering what size holes for the 10mm rod you drilled?
12mm holes

Glad it was helpful!
Great video thanks, could you please tell me what depth the concrete footing is?
Would solid, level lime stone be OK instead of concrete?

Hi Lee,

Thanks - good video.
Hi
its 10mm stainless steel threaded rod. Nylon lock nuts are a great idea too
core drilled requires alot of skill and also leaves alot of mess
Hi lee. What size drill bit are you using for the holes?
Thanks Lee,
Made it look very doable
No worries
Thanks for the video!

My opinion is larger panels. Means less spigots
@@leebenson77 thank you guys for the quick response 👍
Are the glass panels just resting in the spigots? Nothing's tightened etc?
Great video!! 👍
Thanks
How deep/thick does the footing under the pavers need to be?
Hi there can you tell me the earth requirement is it 1250mm from the waters edge or is it 1250mm from the outside edge of the pool ?
Do you need to earth the spigots?
Hi Lee, I have a question for you . I have a travertine floor around the pool and i don’t think is concrete under the tiles , do you think the chemical concrete would help the spigots stay in place
No, a solid concrete footing is essential. There will come a day with strong winds and the glass panels will act like sails in the wind. If you do not have a good foundation the wind will rip the fence straight out of the ground and become extremely dangerous.
Can you use this type of fencing on grass? If so, how? Would I have to use concrete?
Hi
You would need to do a strip of concrete to make the fence look good
@Outback Fencing Thank you so much! Could I do circle post or would a strip be better?
@@sherritaberry strip better
GlassMate make for an easy job of installing Glass Pool Fencing!
Best video on glass fencing. Thx buddy. We also sell such products. If you need, please feel free to contact us.
what height should the spigots have for a 1meter high glass?
btw, shall we purchase the fencing glass from construciton material store ? and DIY by ownerself ? and how should we to select them ?
Visit our online store
dust mask???
He’s drilling travertine pavers… the dust on those actually tastes great and is good for your eyes
The concrete dust isn’t too good for your throat but it does give you a nice deep voice over time
Why dont you use steel anchor bolt? Better than the liquid one.
Chemical anchor is far better

Glass pool fencing is very strong, I’ve kicked it as hard as I can in the middle of the panel and it did no damage.
@@leebenson77 hi, what is the thickness of the glass? Also is it laminated. Just about to buy a 10mm panel toughened with two spigots. Will the glass be strong enough?
Why we keep the spacing between each glass
Kindly give me the reason
Forgot a gate ?
I’ll do a video for that later
Phone number for the company?
