Want suggestions for spa pool fencing and landscaping

[AndsIzzy]

I’m a novice with endless ideas however no experience!! We are landscaping garden, putting a slab down to support weight &  installation of a spa 3.5 x 2.5m with decking, privacy screen’s. looking for suggestions on removable fencing options. (Understanding & not ignoring pool safety requirement) as area is small, was looking at glass, would this be possible & easy to do? 
As we have to remove majority of garden bed & greenery, would like to plant creepers to grow along privacy screens, that visually attractive- would climbing jasmine work?

Will appreciate any ideas and suggestions 

colour chart:  

grey: privacy screen (climbing jasmine?)

red: Left side: deck extension allowing small garden bed with reticulation for creeper.  Right side: decking to wall

blue: slab with spa

pink: glass fence 

(deck behind spa will be extended to wall with a couple steps leading up on right )

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @AndsIzzy. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about fencing and landscaping.

It would be helpful to hear a little more about what type of removable fencing options you were considering. Glass pool fencing is certainly an option, and it could be removed at a later date if needed. I wouldn't exactly consider it a removable option, though. Do you want a permanent compliant fence installed? If so, it would be best to speak with a professional who could design a compliant fence and sign off on it. The ease of installation would be determined by what needs to be done. Typically, the installation is fairly straightforward.

Jasmine would be a great option to add some greenery to your screening. Orange trumpet vine is another fast-growing climbing plant you should consider. If you are looking for immediate privacy, I'd suggest going for something like the SpecRite 1800 x 902mm Pre-Oiled Merbau Alternating Slat Fence Panel and then growing the Jasmine over it. 

Creeper-wise, a creeping fig would be very impactful, grown over a solid structure. It looks fantastic as it spreads out.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your input Mitchell that is so helpful 

We were hoping to have a fence we could remove, however after reading your reply, we think it will be best to go for the compliant fence!

We also re-thinking the screen and looking at the Matrix wall art panels, and then perhaps planting Vibernum ‘quick fence’ which ultimately should be a good sound barrier when it grows? Would that be a good thick shrub that grows fairly quickly or is there another option?

thank you again for your help ☺️

Hello @AndsIzzy 

I believe Viburnum will do just fine as it is a fast-growing shrub. In the right conditions it could even grow as tall as 4 meters. The Matrix wall art panels are great for coverage while you wait for the shrub to grow.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
