Looks Great. Have you seen the low maintenance option Millboard? Great for pool areas as there is no timber to rot or fade etc. www.millboarddeck.com.au

Breaking up the great solid block of colour a little bit helps to hide it. Next is the choice of what to plant. I'm leaning towards: ficus pumila, climbing fig, which can be pruned to hug the fence tightly, Himalyan blue bamboo, (but might sprout on other side of fence as well, so should have a 60cm deep root guard or be planted in pots) or waterhousia floribunda, weeping lilypilly, which can be pruned to a narrow, non-climbable hedge but 30cm might be about as narrow as possible. I'm just a bit scared the bamboo will move into the neighbours yard too...You also have to be careful to not plant anything with massive roots that could eventually crack your pool, and it has to be tough enough to cope with a bit of chlorine... Then, put in a dip line so you don't have to water such a narrow spot. Good luck, and let us know what you decide.

Thanks everyone for your further comments. No problem about it being an old post, always nice to communicate with people about design solutions/problems. Jilly, I posted some photos on 1st January 2016, they appear further up in the post. Garden Beet Pty Ltd, and Morel Construction Ltd, both of your solutions look great, but our problem still remains the western Queensland sun which is pretty vicious on anything that will either wilt, fade or break down. It was quite a difficult challenge to come up with something that was affordable, workable and durable. I would love to have had plants because I believe they soften large "hard" exterior areas, but we have decided that we will do that with pots around the pool area. Still have that to do, even after all this time. :) Thanks everyone for re-igniting this chat. Jilly, hope you find something that works for you.

Which pool fence do you prefer?
Q

Last month I installed glass pool fencing, which actually transforms my ordinary pool into a unique and gorgeous paradise and on the recommendation of my brother, I got in contact with the Sloane Accessories, the professional contractor for glass pool fencing, they installed a glass fence around my pool which adds style and elegance to my pool. As Glass fencing is the most elegant and preferred choice among people. This gives an attractive look to pools along with maintaining cleanliness around it. Although a bit expensive as they maintain the beauty of surroundings, with safe and higher durability.

Would you rather a bigger backyard or a pool?
Q

I would definitely choose small backyard with the pool! Our backyard is rather small so when we moved in we decided to use the space as much as we could! We called the guys that install fiberglass pools, since we heard that these are great choice and more customizable than the others. We are enjoying in our backyard every day!

Hi, Yes It does look great. I received Millboards details from a designer that we work with, the rep was going to send samples and product info but we never received it. Had someone else get in contact with us afterwards and was also going to send us samples and product info, but still to this date have not received anything. I think it's a product that we could use on many of our jobs, however a little hesitant to be ordering product if we can't even get samples. If you're able to help with samples and product info, please feel free to give us a call on 8873 0600 88
