This isn't a cost. It's an investment.
The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. But we want to be honest about how to read them. Your Phoenix frameless glass pool fence isn't a line-item expense; it's an investment in your home's value, your family's daily experience, and a space you'll use for the next twenty to thirty years.
When you compare bids, compare what you're investing in — the spec, the crews, the warranty, the company that will still be standing in year ten — not just the price tag. The lowest bid is almost always the most expensive build over time.
Frameless Glass Pool Fence engineered for your deck and your project's requirements.
Sonoran Glass (AE's glass fencing division) installs frameless and semi-frameless glass pool fencing across the entire Phoenix metro. AE's planning baseline and recommendation for a swimming-pool barrier is a five-foot barrier system in 1/2-inch tempered safety glass with a permanent temper mark on every installed panel, on Duplex 2205 stainless core-mount spigots, with anchorage designed for your specific structural substrate and self-closing, self-latching gates planned around the Arizona pool-barrier requirements confirmed for the project. Coverage is set out in your signed scope and in the manufacturer documentation for the products selected.

The Sonoran Glass install spec
- 1/2-inch tempered safety glass with a permanent temper mark on every installed panel, five feet high as AE's planning baseline for a swimming-pool barrier — other build-ups only where project engineering or manufacturer documentation requires them.
- Primarily PRL glass and Polaris hardware, though not exclusively; approved alternates are named in the written scope.
- Duplex 2205 stainless core-mount spigots as AE's standard fence detail — a 5-inch core-drilled hole with 4-inch embedment into concrete, set with rapid-setting anchoring cement. Bolt-down mounting only where the approved condition and detail support it.
- Structural substrate verification — slab, bond beam, approved footing, or pavers over structural concrete. Never anchored into pavers, a sand setting bed or compacted aggregate base alone.
- Where a footing is required, an 8×8-inch footing with continuous rebar, subject to site conditions, the approved design, engineering, manufacturer requirements, the AHJ and the signed scope.
- On a post-tension slab, AE does not drill without documented homeowner permission plus a professional scan or reliable professional marking, and normally recommends a separate approved footing outside the slab.
- Anchorage designed for the verified substrate and the approved detail.
- Spigot or channel mount depending on design intent and the approved detail.
- Self-closing hinges and self-latching gate hardware, set to the latch height and swing direction confirmed for your project.
- Pool-barrier clearance review on the walk against A.R.S. §36-1681 and any stricter municipal or county requirement; confirming the governing requirements with the AHJ, and any HOA or insurer, is the customer's responsibility.
- Workmanship coverage per your signed scope, plus the manufacturer warranty documented for the products selected.
