Fencing Section Kit

The was a great find. We keep it up around the open side of our pool that connects our pool to our open patio with tv. Due to city regulations a pool must be fenced in but this is so easy to put up and take down and half the price of a permanent fence.

This pool fence is awesome and installs quite quickly easily with some planning, following the directions, and using the right tools. I installed 45 feet of this in about 2.5 hours. I did a ton of research and read lots of reviews. As far as their drill guide goes...the general concensus from many reviews is it's overpriced garbage you'll never use again and it may not even give you good results so I decided to make my own for about $10. I purchased at Lowe's a 1/2" x 4.5" iron pipe threaded nipple and a 1/2" iron pipe floor flange. Thread the 2 pieces together and screw down in the center of a piece of wood. I used a scrap piece of some 1" by ? lumber I had laying around that I cut down to approx 4" x 13". I drilled a 3/4" hole of out the center of the wood first. The necessary 5/8 masonry bit fit nice and snug inside the pipe...so much so that the head of the drill bit will not fit through. You must slide the drill bit up through the bottom of the guide before attaching the bit to the drill. I used a Bauer rotary hammer drill I got at Harbor Freight and a Bosch 5/8" x 12" (yes 12" is plenty long enough with my homemade drill guide) SDS Plus masonry bit I picked up at Home Depot and it worked great. As far as the whole light lean, heavy lean issue goes, I simply used a wood shim between my patio and the bottom of the guide. Slide it closer to the drill bit...heavy lean; further away from the bit...light lean. Line up the tip of the bit with the mark you made for the hole, step on each side of the piece of wood to hold the guide in place and drill til you bottom out the drill on the top of the guide. Piece of cake. Hope my review helps you decide to get this fence and save some serious money and get great results by building your own guide like I did.

I love the way my pool fence came out. Everything fit into place perfectly and the fence is sturdy and taut. My child will not be able to get through. I have seen some negative reviews about the fence sturdiness or the drill guide being ineffective, but I can only assume these folks didn’t properly follow instructions. The drill guide is an absolute must have for this install. Don’t try to make your own or go freehand. You need to be able to drill holes with the proper light or heavy lean in order for the fence posts to come out correctly. Follow the instructions provided, they are well written and vital. People complained about the drill guide wing nuts coming loose during use, but you can tighten the wing nuts with an Allen wrench, and I had no problems with them coming loose. I had to drill 46 holes and it lasted. You won’t be able to use the guide for much else afterward, but you need it for this job imo. Get a high powered hammer drill (with extra batteries if going cordless) and good quality drill bits. You’ll need multiple bits if drilling lots of holes (maybe a new bit every 10 holes) into concrete/rebar. I drilled through flagstone/concrete/rebar. Dribble water onto the hole as you’re drilling to avoid stone from splitting. I also chose to skip the gate as you can just open one of the panels and stick it into a layback hole for when the pool is in use, so I can’t speak to the gate quality or ease of installation. I’m happy with no gate though. Overall, if you can follow instructions and have the strength to drill the holes, then you can do this job and I would recommend this pool fence and drill guide.

I just installed this fence. I thought it would be easy... turns out that it was unbelievably easy. I didn't get the guide because I'm cheap. I used a bullet level and a 14"drill bit, set up the bit so it was plumb(ish), and drilled away, trying to make it as straight as possible. This worked ok. Some of the pegs are slightly crooked, but not noticeable unless someone is being nitpicky about it. If you don't have someone to help you, and if you are doing a long stretch and doing corners and stuff, save yourself the trouble and get the guide. My area was small, so I only had to drill 10 holes to install 24' of fence. One side butted up to a block wall, the other side butted up to the aluminum framing of the screened pool cage. I was able to use 1" EMT conduit straps with appropriate hardware to secure these ends (sold separately). You can use it without the gate. There are instructions within the installation instructions that tell you how to do this. However, I just went one peg back from the end, drilled a hole, and am able to roll up that section and insert into the hole. You'll understand what I mean if you read through the instructions. A regular HAMMER drill worked fine--but as I said before, I only had to drill 10 holes. I bought a rotary hammer with a drill function specifically for this project, but didn't realize that it needed special SDS bits. Regular masonry bits wouldn't fit into the chuck. You may want to check on this before going out and buying a rotary hammer drill for this project. Unless you have a lot of holes to drill, a hammer drill will work just fine. The instructions weren't great, but if you have any handy skills whatsoever, it's not a difficult install. I'm not completely confident that it will hold up to the elements, but I think that's something time will tell. I did read some comments that said it was "flimsy" or "cheap". If you set it up right and tight, it looks pretty sturdy. The fact that it doesn't have a toprail makes it both easy to store/ship, and difficult to climb. It's not going to keep trespassers off your property, but it oughta keep your kid busy trying to climb it long enough for you to catch him/her.

Added to our above ground pool deck. Very good investment for safety. After drawing and measuring it out took about 20 minutes to drill and install. Highly recommend. Used extra 2x4 pieces to secure it under the wooden deck.

I was looking for a removable fence and that product is just perfect. I did’nt have a complex shape and took me 1 hour to install including adding some wood blocks under my deck. Very nice look and you can see the other side as if there was nothing. I highly recommend this product

While we experienced a two week delay in delivery we were happy to receive the fence. We have an above ground pool with a 8 foot opening. The instructions were very clear and the installation, on a wooden deck, were quite simple. I had to cut the fence since it was too long but that too was easy to do. Hopefully this greatly improves pool safety for all.

This fence was really easy to install. Marking and drilling the post holes was the most difficult part. Mark and measure with the template provided then actually take a fence section and line up your marks to avoid drilling holes in the wrong position. Used a rotary hammer drill and shop vac to keep the mess down. You definitely need the heavy duty drill and a concrete bit to get this job done quickly and keep it looking professional. A regular drill would not be able to complete this project. We did not order the hole guide and were able to estimate any angles needed. We needed to cut and resize 3 of the 4 corners and it was fairly simple. Strength- wise our toddler has run full steam into it a few times and it hasn't moved. We ordered and installed the gate. It never lined up enough to be self closing/ latching but closes with a little effort from us. One person can completely remove the fence in under 20 minutes. Overall very satisfied with this purchase.

Ordered this to protect our little one from accessing the pool. We only needed two pieces to run along our wooden deck from house to garage. Install was super easy! The measuring guide included in the box made it a no brainer. We are very happy with this product.

I’m baffled by all the reviews saying this fence is super easy to install. We have a wooden deck and an above ground pool. We did not purchase the fence or the drill guide. Getting the first two holes right took about two hours and at the end they still were not correct - the fence is extremely picky to the tilt of the hole you drill. It’s certainly not easy to install. If you want to spend the extra $250 for a drill guide and the drill you need to use the guide, I’d probably do it. But we’re cheap so we’re free-handing it.
