Image shows the four Non Climable Zones that any barrier less than 1800mm must adhere to

Image shows on of the options for a fence that is using material with apertures 13mm or greater.

Hinges that protrude more than 10mm and are less than 900mm apart can create a foothold to assist climbing. A 60 degree cap can be placed on top of the hinge to make climbing not possible.

Image shows the minimum height of a balcony that protrudes into a pool area

Windows that open into a pool area must be a certain height off the ground or be fitted with secure mesh, bars or be not able to be opened more than 100mm in order to stop access to the pool area.

Image shows the three Non Climable Zones that any barrier less than 1800mm must adhere to

Boundary fences may be climable on the opposite side of the pool, but the pool side of the fence must have a clear Non Climbable Zone from the top of the fence.

Image is showing the effect that the weight of a child could possible have on perforated material. The height of the barrier must not be less than 1200mm even when a weight is applied to the top rail.

Retaining walls less than 2400mm high must comply as a standard barrier in regards to Non Climbable Zones. Other barrier elements may be needed to make them comply.

Image is showing how a retaining wall 2400mm or higher can be considered an effective barrier but must not slope more than 15 degrees

Retaining walls between 1800mm and 1200mm must comply as a standard barrier in regards to Non Climbable Zones. Other barrier elements may be needed to make them comply.

Image shows how measurements must be taken to assure that NCZ 1 is maintained when a barrier steps up or down

The image shows how measurements must be taken perpendicular to the sloping surface, not vertically.

Where a barrier 1800m or less intersects with a barrier 1800mm or more, the Non Climbing Zones must extended a minimum of 900mm past the point of intersection.

Windows that open into a pool area must be a certain height off the ground or be fitted with secure mesh, bars or be not able to be opened more than 100mm in order to stop access to the pool area.

Retaining walls need to be looked at under the same scrutiny as any other barrier type. Non-climbing zones are an essential part of a retaining wall being compliant.
