GlassMate are so awesome for installing glass pool fencing

Hi mate great video what core drill are you using there with stand looks like a good set up

[@makingmemories8186]

Great video guys thanks, was hoping you would show how you poured the grout into the core drilled holes. How did you do this as the spacing is quite narrow with the spigots in place?

Hi It’s best to use a small curved garden scoop. Scoop into bucket then pour the right amount into holes. Makes less mess this way. www.bunnings.com.au/fiskars-nyglass-potting-scoop_p2970087

Hi guys, what length spigots do you use? And what gap between glass and floor..? Thanks

[@steve372]

Great video and you guys look like you take great pride in your work!! I haven't looked at your website yet but I suspect the glass mate thingys will be too expensive for a one off DIY fence. Can I ask how long that fence run actually took to erect?? All done in a day or was that over several days? How long does one core drill hole take, looked quite slow!?

[@leebenson77]

Hi We did this job in a day.

Great videos! Is there any advantage of core drilling method over threaded rod? Is it stronger? Seems like a lot more work in it.

[@leebenson77]

They are both the same if done properly.

What's this adjusters called please and from where we can get it to install framless glass pool fence And please in next videos show us how you install the gate on pool fence

[@leebenson77]

I’ll try and do a gate video soon. Adjusters Can bought on our website

[@benjaminl4810]

Awesome videos guys! Where can I buy those orange glass stands please?

[@leebenson77]

Hi, you can buy them on our website soon. Hopefully in the next few hours

[@leebenson77]

Update. They are now available on our website!

Hi mate thanx for the vid. Do you think it would be ok to use a 65mm holesaw?

[@leebenson77]

Probably wouldn’t work. But don’t let me stop you

[@karleddy6863]

@@leebenson77 thanx for getting back to me. The next size up at my local hire shop is 78mm so i will go with that instead then

[@leebenson77]

Sorry when you said hole saw I thought you meant something else. So you want to use a 65mm core drill

[@leebenson77]

70mm core drill is ideal

[@karleddy6863]

@@leebenson77 yes or I can get a 78mm but thought that big holes might use up a lot of grout and I only have 1 bag for 10 holes

Good video overall and you obviously take pride in your job, but I am honestly really not a fan of this particular method. Those glass mates while look good seem too lightweight to me, I question how well they would keep glass straight in strong winds. Putting the spigots on before putting the glass in makes no sense to me, you either need to lay the glass down or have it upside down which risks scratching the face or top and means you obviously need to flip and rotate them requiring more physical effort along with the mental effort of aligning the spigots. Putting the glass mates on with each panel means you're not checking the heights they will sit beforehand, this could lead to issues if core holes aren't deep enough (for example you stop due to reo) or the level drops too much. No string line to help straighten the glass, while you can definitely get good straightness from eying it using a string line helps immensely especially with keeping them on the line. The way we install our glass is using good old timber blocks with packers levelled around the entire fence line first which ensures all heights will be good. Spigots are put into the holes (having their bottom cut off with a grinder if necessary to fit) with their cover plates and then glass lowered in. The glass is then secured with a custom made extendable suction brace with a weight on the base placed every second panel (more if we're worried about wind), and each panel is joined to the ones next to it with a simple joiner (two pieces of wood with a screw) up top and bottom. Spigots are screwed in when the panel is secured, either right away or after the panels for that run are all lifted in. We put an entire side, or two or three depending how many panels and braces we have going, in before grouting and straighten first using a string line run from end to end on top lining up the middle which as I said helps immensely to get it as close to perfect as possible. We use Sika HES Grout which we find works really good, we used to use CRL years ago until they unknowingly changed their formula making it expand which caused damage on some jobs we had done. Personally we find this method works best for us being very efficient for both time and effort while producing a high quality result, we've been able to have upwards of 20 panels installed and grouted within 5-6 hours before though mind you we generally core drill on a separate earlier day but we have done a few 40 to 50 metre jobs all in one day including the core drilling (we like to try and finish the job so we don't need to go back even if it means finishing after it's gotten dark, we've literally been on a job until 10 PM finishing it up).

A video for tradies i guess, confusing for diy'ers, looks difficult. Another aussies has an easier video with bolts, makes it look easy.
