Description
Mandatory AS 1926.1 barrier-compliance sign reinforcing the self-closing/self-latching gate requirement at residential and commercial pools. The blue mandatory roundel with self-closing gate pictogram and text "POOL — KEEP THIS GATE CLOSED" provides a behavioural reminder that supplements hardware compliance. Mounted at eye level on the pool-side face of the gate (typically adjacent to the CPR chart), this sign is a standard component of council pool inspections and audit documentation. Available in polypropylene, colorbond, or vinyl across three sizes (225×300 mm to 450×600 mm), with pre-drilled holes for direct cable-tie installation. Note: the sign itself does not substitute for AS 1926.1-compliant self-closing/self-latching gate hardware—inspectors assess both. Trade accounts and councils receive bulk pricing. Australia-wide delivery available.
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
Does this sign satisfy a council pool inspection on its own?
No — the sign is a behavioural reminder that supplements AS 1926.1-compliant self-closing/self-latching gate hardware. Inspectors assess both the hardware and the signage; the sign alone does not satisfy the barrier requirement.
What's the best option for a residential pool?
Polypropylene 225×300 mm with pre-drilled holes is the typical choice—affordable ($20–30 range), 3+ year outdoor life, and cable-ties directly to gate mesh without tools.
Where exactly should I mount this sign?
Mount on the pool-side face of the gate at eye level (approximately 1.5 m height), typically adjacent to the CPR chart, so parents and caregivers see it as they approach the pool.
Can I use vinyl on a metal pool gate?
Vinyl adheres best to clean, smooth surfaces; metal gates are better suited to polypropylene or colorbond with pre-drilled holes and cable-ties, which provide more durable attachment.
Do you supply signs for multi-pool facilities?
Yes — councils and aquatic centres receive tiered bulk pricing on orders of 5+ signs. Contact us with your facility count for a formal quote.
Does lamination improve durability on a pool gate?
Yes — lamination protects against chlorine splash, UV, and weather exposure, extending polypropylene life by 2–3 years in direct-splash gate mounting.
