Description
Temporary pool-closure notice in AS 2416 prohibition format, deployed during maintenance, chemical imbalances, or seasonal shutdowns. The sign clearly communicates "POOL CLOSED — NO SWIMMING" to prevent unauthorised water entry and liability exposure. Polypropylene with pre-drilled corner holes enables quick cable-tie installation to pool gates; colorbond (0.55 mm) suits permanent closure-sign kits for operators managing recurring seasonal closures. Both materials are weather-resistant and can be stored dry between uses to maximise lifespan. Lamination is available to extend durability in high-UV or splash-prone zones. Standard sizes (300×450 mm, 450×600 mm) provide clear visibility at gate level. Trade bulk pricing applies to councils and aquatic centres ordering multiple signs.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Is this sign reusable across multiple closure periods?
Yes — colorbond with pre-drilled corner holes is designed to cable-tie on and off as needed. Store dry when not in use to maximise the lifespan and prevent material degradation.
Which material should I choose?
Polypropylene suits temporary, seasonal closures (3–5 year life); colorbond is better for permanent or frequent closure-sign kits that see repeated use.
Can I add lamination for extra durability?
Yes — lamination protects against UV fading and splash wear, especially in high-chlorine or direct-sun pool areas; it extends effective life by 2–3 years.
What size is standard for a pool gate?
Available sizes are 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Do you offer bulk pricing for councils with multiple pools?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
