Safety fencing

cale42 · May 24, 2019

Is there any big difference in quality among the safety fence options out there?

I'm looking to put a fence around about 1/3 of my pool.. the rest is blocked off by the garage and the fence. So it's about a 30 foot total section. I plan to do the install myself. Searching amazon and online stores it seems there are a number of companies that make them.. for the size I need they all seem fairly similar and all in the 800 to 1000 dollar range.

Anyone have good or bad experiences with these? Any favorite or abhorred brands?

Thanks!

Oh good.. I'll standby then.. I was about to order on Amazon and schedule a hammer drill rental!

Yeah, it’s the holiday weekend, so folks may be a bit to respond. But no worries, they will.

Probably like the Pool Fence DIY. I'm bot so worried about kids trying to force their way in as accidentally wandering in. And ideally I would like to be able to take it down for parties and what not.

I should have updated. We ended up going with the Protect a Child pool fence.

You can order it online but I found the cost for the local guy to do it quite reasonable. He did an awesome job.. took a morning was all. I have been nothing but happy with it. Looks good.. not as ugly as I expected. We ended up not doing a gate, and taking the last section in and out is a matter of seconds when we swim. Seems very durable.

PM me if you have further questions!
