Doughboy pools: fencing?

[PoolPablo]

Hi all - I got a quote from the local Doughboy dealer;
cost of Doughboy fencing around the rim of a 24' AGP is >$1200

- does anyone know if 3rd party fencing is compatible? Local Great Escape fencing estimate < $500; a friend paid like $300 for their 24' (non-Doughboy) pool

I understand Doughboy pools often are only compatible with Doughboy accessories/parts (sorta like Apple's "walled garden" approach to apps, instead of Android "anything goes" open system). I am tending away from Doughboy for this reason, although they get great reviews

Thanks for any opinions anyone might share!

Any third party fence can be put around a Doughboy pool. The installation may be different. Probably paying for the convenience of the Doughboy pool/fencing installation system.
