The Honest Bit — read before you buy

This is not Pool Perf®. This is an imported product from China, sold at an imported-product price. Before you add it to the cart, know what you’re getting:

It’s the same imported product many fence companies sell — we’re just cheaper and we put this in writing. You’re buying with eyes open (and your Australian Consumer Law rights still apply).

Assembly & cutting down — what’s actually involved

Panels arrive as parts — perforated sheet, frame lengths and screws — and you put them together. If your run needs a narrower panel, you’ll also be cutting the sheet and frame down: measuring twice, cutting with a drop saw or angle grinder, filing the edges, and drilling new screw holes. It’s absolutely DIY-able. It’s also fiddly, and we promised to be honest about that.

Here’s the step-by-step assembly video. It’s a lovely smooth 3D render. If only real life was as smooth as this. Allow for a couple of colourful words somewhere around step 3.

Need another colour? You need Pool Perf®. Need longer than 2m? You need Pool Perf®. Want a custom design or Australian made? You need Pool Perf®.

The Perf Trans Panel is the taller-format infill panel of the Perf perforated pool fencing system. At 1288mm wide × 1888mm high, this panel is designed for situations requiring taller fence heights — retaining walls, step-down areas, or anywhere a 1.8m–1.9m fence is needed. Fitted into the Trans Frame Kit (sold separately), the finished framed height is 1900mm.

Manufactured from marine-grade aluminium alloy 5052 H32 at 2.5mm thickness, the panel features uniform 9mm precision-punched holes throughout. Unlike the standard 1.2m panel, the Trans Panel is designed specifically for taller applications and uses the Trans Frame Kit rather than the standard Frame Kit.

The textured powder coat finish — available in Matt Black and Monument — is applied by Akzo Nobel, one of the world's leading coatings manufacturers, ensuring long-term colour stability and resistance to the Australian climate including coastal environments.

Unlike glass pool fencing, Perf requires no sealing, polishing, or specialist cleaning. A rinse with fresh water is all that's needed to maintain its appearance, making it an ideal low-maintenance choice for busy households and rental properties alike.

The Trans Panel can be cut down to any smaller size — it is commonly ordered to achieve a finished height of 1.8m. Refer to the fabrication guide in Additional Documentation for cutting and re-fixing instructions.

Common Applications
Pool fencing on retaining walls — where the finished fence must sit higher
Step-down pool areas — transition panels where ground level changes
Boundary and privacy fencing at 1.8–1.9m height
Feature garden walls at taller heights
Any application requiring a taller perforated panel — cut to any smaller size
What's Included
1 × Perf Trans Panel infill (colour as selected)
Trans Frame Kit (PP-TRANSKIT-B/MN), posts and screws are sold separately. Note: the standard Frame Kit does NOT suit this panel — you need the Trans Frame Kit.

What exactly is included in this listing?
+
This listing is for the infill panel only — one panel in your chosen colour (Satin Black or Monument Satin). The frame kit, U-channels, screws, posts and gate hardware are all sold separately. This allows you to order exactly what you need for your specific installation without paying for components you already have.
What framing and hardware do I need to complete a panel?
+
For a standard 1.2m high framed panel you'll need: 1 × Frame Kit (PP-FRAMEKIT-B or MN) — this includes all 4 frame rails. Plus a pack of SS304 Screws (PP-SCREW-B-50PK or MN) to fix the panel to the frame. For installation you'll also need posts (sold separately — not a Perf product). For U-channel installation, add U-Channels (PP-U-B-2PK) — one pack per panel bay.
What's the difference between Method 1 and Method 2 installation?
+
Method 1 (Bracket Fit) — horizontal brackets are fixed to the posts, and the framed panel slides into the brackets and is secured. This suits a post daylight of 2150mm for a standard panel. Method 2 (U-Channel Fit) — U-channels are fixed vertically to both posts, and the completed framed panel drops down into the channels. This suits a post daylight of 2012mm. Both methods produce a similar finished appearance. Full step-by-step instructions for both methods are in the Additional Documentation tab.
Can I cut the panel down to fit a non-standard post spacing?
+
Yes — the panel can be cut to any smaller width or height using a Nibbler tool with a clamped straight-edge guide. Once cut, file any sharp edges. The frame rails are also cut to length using the formulas provided in the fabrication guide. After cutting the panel, you'll need to re-drill pilot holes approximately 50mm from each corner as the original pre-punched border holes may be removed by the cut. The full size adjustment guide is in the Additional Documentation tab.
Is this panel compliant for pool fencing in Queensland (and other states)?
+
Yes. The panel has been tested to AS1926.1, which is the Australian standard for pool safety barriers. This standard is referenced in pool safety legislation across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. We always recommend checking with your local council for any state or territory-specific requirements before installation.
What's the difference between the Full Perf panel and the Palm (Deco) panel?
+
The Full Perf panel has uniform 9mm holes across the entire panel face — clean, minimal and modern. The Palm (Deco) panel has the same specification but features a decorative palm frond pattern created through varied perforation sizing across the panel face. Both are pool compliant and use the same framing. The Palm panel is slightly more expensive. Both are available in Satin Black and Monument Satin.
Can I pick up my order instead of paying for delivery?
+
Yes — free click and collect is available from warehouses in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. After placing your order, allow 1–3 business days for us to process and send you a collection reference and warehouse address. Do not go to the warehouse without your collection reference. Pickup is Monday to Friday, 7:30am–3pm only. The warehouse is not a showroom — goods must be ordered and paid for online before pickup.
How do I know how many panels I need?
+
Each framed panel covers a 2000mm wide × 1200mm high bay (Method 1 — post daylight 2150mm, Method 2 — post daylight 2012mm). Measure your total fence run length and divide by the appropriate bay width for your installation method to get the number of panels. Don't forget to allow for gates (which replace one panel bay), corners, and any non-standard width bays. Not sure? Send us a sketch of your pool layout and we'll help you calculate a full product list.

Warranty — the honest version

There is no manufacturer warranty on this product. None.

Want a 10-year manufacturer warranty on Australian-made fencing? You need Pool Perf®.
