About

What You Get With Glass Fence Panels

Your yard stays open and bright. Traditional fencing closes in outdoor spaces and casts shadows. Glass fence panels define areas without making your yard feel smaller. Light flows through. You maintain views to gardens, landscaping, or natural surroundings.

You stop the maintenance cycle. Wood fences need staining or painting every few years. They rot at ground level and warp in weather. Metal fences rust in coastal conditions. Glass panels need a wash twice a year. No painting, no wood replacement, no rust treatment.

Wind protection improves usability of patios and outdoor living areas. Coastal wind makes outdoor spaces uncomfortable. Glass fence panels block wind while maintaining views. Your patio becomes usable on breezy days that would normally force you inside.

Common Applications for Glass Fence Panels

Deck glass panels are a preferred choice for many homeowners because they provide uninterrupted sightlines, allow significantly more natural light onto decks, and deliver a clean, modern aesthetic that compliments West Coast architecture.

Glass fence panels surrounding a raised pool and outdoor lounge area, installed along a curved retaining wall on a forested property.

Pool Enclosures

Pool enclosures require fencing to meet BC Building Code safety requirements. Glass panels provide code-compliant barriers while letting you supervise pool areas from anywhere in your yard. Parents can see children in the pool from the house. Glass does not obstruct pool area visibility like privacy fencing would.

Outdoor balcony with glass fence panels framing a lake view, with lounge seating and a clear railing line along the edge of the patio.

Patio and Deck Railings

Patio and deck perimeters benefit from wind barriers that preserve views. Glass fence panels installed along the windward side of patios create sheltered outdoor rooms. You block wind without creating enclosed boxes that defeat the purpose of being outdoors.

Ground Fencing

Garden and yard zone protection benefits from glass panels that block wind without creating shade. Vegetable gardens and flower beds perform better when sheltered from coastal wind. Glass panels protect plantings while letting full sunlight through. You create microclimates for plants that would struggle in exposed conditions.

Panel Thickness & Construction

Glass fence panels use 12mm laminated safety glass mounted in frames or channels. Panels typically range from 4 to 8 feet wide and 4 to 6 feet tall, depending on application and local code requirements. Custom sizes accommodate unique layouts.

Mounting & Installation

Mounting methods include aluminum post systems, base channel tracks, or spigot clamps depending on your installation surface. Posts are set in concrete footings for ground installations. Base channels mount to concrete patios or pool decks. Spigots attach to solid surfaces where posts are not practical.

Anchoring & Hardware

Frameless panels mount directly to posts or hardware with minimal visible framing. Semi-frameless panels use aluminum frames around each panel. Frameless creates cleaner sightlines. Semi-frameless costs less and provides more structural definition. Both handle wind loads and meet code requirements.

Pool Fencing

Pool Fencing Code Requirements

BC Building Code requires pool fencing to prevent unsupervised access. Glass fence panels meet these requirements when properly installed with the following code-compliant features:

  • Self-closing gates that swing shut automatically

  • Self-latching hardware mounted high enough that young children cannot reach

  • Panel heights that prevent climbing (typically 4 feet minimum)

  • No footholds or horizontal elements children can use to climb over

  • Matching glass gates or aluminum-framed gate sections that meet the same standards

Your installer handles all permit requirements and coordinates inspections with your local building department. Engineering documentation is provided for building department review. This ensures your pool enclosure meets all legal requirements for insurance and safety coverage.

Can glass fence panels be added to an existing deck?

Yes. Tenmar frequently completes retrofit installations, replacing old wood or metal railings with engineered deck glass panels. We assess the deck’s structure first to confirm it can support panel weight and anchoring hardware.
