Installation

A precise process for a seamless finish

Whether your pool was built years ago or is still on the drawing board, Smart Fence installs into a slim perimeter channel at the paving line. Our team plans every detail so the works stay light and the finish stays seamless.

Existing pools

A gentle upgrade, not a rebuild

The system installs into a perimeter trench prepared at the paving line. The pool itself is untouched, and our team plans the sequence so daily use is disrupted as little as possible. Most existing gardens keep their layout entirely.

Pools in design

Planned in from day one

When we're involved at the design stage, the concrete channel, power, drainage and control routes are built into the project from the start. Zero compromise on the finish, and no retrofitting later.

Who we work with

Homeowners, designers, and professional teams

Every Smart Fence project is guided from the first conversation to the final handover. The people we work with change; the standard of the finish doesn't.

Homeowners

We guide you through every preparation step, in plain language.

Architects and designers

Technical drawings for every element, from the channel to the finish.

Developers and hotels

Coordinated delivery across multiple trades and timelines.

How it goes

Four clear stages, start to finish

01

Site preparation

A perimeter channel is prepared per our technical drawings, including designated power and drainage points for each unit box.

02

System installation

Modular units are positioned along the pool. Each box is anchored to the concrete with 4 legs and leveled to height 0.

03

Connection & setup

The project plumber connects drainage, the electrician runs control cables, and our team wires each box and commissions the system.

04

Testing & handover

Full operational testing followed by client briefing and documentation.

Infrastructure requirements

What's prepared before installation

A little groundwork ensures the system sits flush and operates flawlessly. Your project's plumber and electrician prepare the following, guided by our technical drawings.

Concrete channel

A dedicated concrete base recessed 30 to 35 cm below the paving line, at least 60 cm wide, houses the units below the surface.

Power & control

A power point for the controller in a dry location, not the pump room, sized 3 x 2.5.

Drainage

A drainage point is planned for the unit boxes, connected via a 50 mm pipe to the sewer or a soakaway.

Control cabling

A flexible numbered 12-core x 0.75 control cable runs from the controller to each unit, with a separate cable per unit.

Finishing touches

The handrail is delivered clad in a black aluminium clip that can be replaced with a 1 cm tile matching your paving, or with decking. The project contractor completes the floor finish up to the handrail on both sides for a clean, integrated result.

Roles

A coordinated handover between your team and ours

Every preparation is specified in our technical drawings, whether the work is done by your existing contractor, your plumber and electrician, or the professionals already working on a new build.

Installation FAQ

Answers before you plan the works

I have an existing pool with finished paving. Is that a problem?
No. A perimeter channel is prepared at the paving line and the system integrates without touching the pool itself. The paving is then completed up to the handrail for a seamless result.
No. The system installs into a perimeter channel prepared at the paving line, so the pool itself remains untouched. Our technical drawings guide every adaptation.
Timing depends on the total fence length and site conditions. An exact schedule is confirmed after the site survey, alongside your tailored quote.
On new builds this is usually the project contractor, plumber and electrician. On existing pools it can be your own trusted trades. Everything follows our technical drawings.
The handrail arrives with a black aluminium clip and can be finished with a 1 cm tile matching your paving, or with decking. The floor finish is completed flush with the handrail on both sides.
