Pool Platforms
Pool Platforms
Custom built platforms that lock the pool down and keep the build moving. Built on your pool, on the day, to fit any shape or size. Engineer designed and Form 15 certified.

The Original
Invented here. Copied everywhere.
Pool covers, pool void covers, lids, hard covers, platforms, working platforms: however you refer to them, they were invented by the founder of Aus Fence Hire QLD, Mr Jeff Smith, over 15 years ago. Others have copied his design and even registered trademarks, but Aus Fence Hire QLD remains the original and the best. Every platform is rigorously engineered to the precise millimetre and kilonewton, and our engineers constantly review our designs to ensure we're using the most up to date materials available. Done right the first time, every time, for your peace of mind.
Quality checked
Every unit is inspected and signed off before it leaves the yard, so what turns up on site is right the first time, every time.

Compliance
Technical standards.
Our pool platforms are designed by a team of engineers to surpass the current Australian Standard for structural loads, and adhere to all Queensland legislation and guidelines pertaining to pool safety. Every platform is custom made to your specifications. We offer platforms sheeted in the traditional F17 form-ply that some builders prefer, and the newer, more modern and frankly superior platforms sheeted in Colorbond steel. Unlike plywood, which regrettably will begin to deteriorate in the harsh Queensland environment, Colorbond will last for more years than you'll ever need it to. Don't settle for any installer that won't provide you with the choice of plywood or Colorbond sheets. All platforms come with the required Form 15 engineering certificate, provided directly to your builder so you don't have to worry about a thing. Find a lower price and we'll beat it by 5%. Done right the first time, every time, for your peace of mind.

How it usually runs
The fence goes up the day the dig starts. Once the shell is in and set, if you need one, we come back, construct your platform and remove the fence if required. The platform will usually stay for the duration of the house build, following which we return to remove the platform and re-install a fence until the permanent pool fence is installed and certified. Then we're back one final time to pick up the fence. Every step done right the first time, every time, for your peace of mind.
Need both? One call sorts the lot.
