Which child pool fence?

[BPool18]

Hi everyone. We’ve decided to move forward and install a child protection pool fence this year. We are down to two options.

1. Protect-A-Child Pool Fence - Start Enjoying Your Pool & Patio
2. https://poolfence.com/

I’ve gotten quotes for both options, and they are essentially the same price installed for my size pool ($5,000)

So price aside, I’m looking for any thoughts or recommendations on which one to choose?

Thank you!

Is there any difference between warranties for each?
Are there any additional costs for installation? How are repairs handled if a tear or a pole breaks?
I always try to research the quality of each product. Have you asked for references from each and made contact to get direct feedback?

Thanks! I’ve asked each on warranty/repair info…

I have lifesaver, and it's a fine product. I chose it because I liked the look of the gate.

Protect-a-child, Katch-a-kid, Lifesaver and others seem to be pretty much the same. I'd go with who has the most experience with installs. Or you can choose who has the nicer looking gate lol.

Dang... $5k for those fences??
Any way to install some black iron fencing to block off that part of the yard, DIY?
Can you show us your pool/patio?

Yeah :/. Well, I’d prefer to avoid a permanent fence, if possible (why I was avoiding black iron fencing around the pool area, which would probably more expensive, no?

Bump - for any last other thoughts for I make a decision

Those two options both look essentially identical to the Pool Fence DIY I installed a few years back. https://www.poolfencediy.com/

The only complaint I have about my fence is that the gate alignment is sometimes a little off, but that's probably because I installed it on a wood deck and not in concrete, so there is some flex in the deck itself.
