Design Your Own Pool Fence

Step 1: Choosing Your Fence Height

  • 4-Foot Fence: Our most popular option, offering excellent pool safety while maintaining a low-profile, unobtrusive design. It’s perfect for those who want reliable protection without obstructing the view of their pool area.
  • 5-Foot Fence: Often preferred by adoption & daycare agencies and required by some local codes for enhanced safety. The added height provides maximum security while still allowing a clear view of the pool, thanks to its transparent mesh design.

Both options feature ASTM-approved materials that provide a strong barrier while maintaining full visibility of your pool. Be sure to check with your local agencies to confirm height requirements before purchasing.

Step 2: Determine Your Fence Length

It’s important to know the total length of fence you need. Measure the entire perimeter where the fence will be installed, from start to finish.

Consider two parts:

  • Feet in Concrete: This includes areas like concrete, cemented-in pavers, or similar surfaces.
  • Feet in Dirt/Grass/Turf: For softer ground where different installation materials may be required.

Be sure to account for any extra space you’d like to leave inside the fenced area for seating or pool maintenance access while the fence is up.

Step 3: Decide How Many Gated Entries

Your Pool Fence Layout should include a gated entry, typically at the main access point to the pool. A gated entry features a self-closing, self-latching, and key-lockable gate for added safety.

You can add as many gates as you’d like, especially if you have multiple access points. Alternatively, you can choose not to install a gate, as manual entry is available at section break points. Gates can also be added at any time after installation.

Step 4: Total Fence Length

Based on your measurements from Step 2 and any gated entries you’ve added, we’ve automatically calculated your total fence length. Each gated entry takes up 3 feet of space, so we’ve subtracted that from the overall fence length for you. If you add or remove a gate, the system will automatically adjust your total fence length, ensuring you buy the correct amount of fencing. If you need to make any changes, you can go back and revise your numbers.

Pool fencing is sold in pre-assembled 15-foot sections with 36-inch pole spacing. We take the total footage of fence needed (minus the gate space) and divide it by 15 feet, rounding up to the nearest 15-foot section. Don’t worry—fence sections can always be cut down to shorter lengths during installation for a perfect fit.

Step 6: Determine If You’re Making Turns

Installed Corner Post Example

Are you planning to make any turns in your pool fence layout? If so, you can enter the number of turns in the box provided. Using a corner post allows you to create 45 to 90-degree turns, helping the fence maintain a nice angle while ensuring proper tension at the turn point.

Corner posts are optional and not required, but they can enhance the overall stability and appearance of your fence.

Step 7: Connecting Fence to Walls or Posts

Wall Attachment Component Kit Installed

Are you connecting your fence to any walls or posts? If you’re enclosing the pool completely, you might not need to worry about this step. However, if you’re going wall to wall or connecting to posts along your fence layout, you’ll need wall attachments.

Please enter the number of wall or post connections in the box provided. You will require one attachment for each connection to ensure a secure fit.

Color Variations

Colors on your screen or brochure may not match the actual color of your product.

Due to the many variations in monitors, phones, and browsers, color samples and product examples may appear different on different screens. Computers and mobile devices are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. The same is true for printed items such as brochures and other sales literature. 

In addition, the colors of our products photograph differently under different lighting conditions. For example, photos taken in full sunlight will vary from photos taken on a cloudy or overcast day. Similarly, shadows from nearby objects can affect the color and transparency of our products. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

Colors will vary from batch to batch.

Many of our products’ materials are not available through typical stores and vendors and therefore must be custom manufactured specifically for our use. In order to control costs and provide you with the best value possible, our raw materials are produced in large batches and can often take several months to receive. The colors of our materials can, and often do, vary slightly from batch to batch. Although we make every effort to minimize color variations, we cannot be responsible for these differences when they occur. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

Color names are subjective and may not be what you think the color should be.

For example, we use the name “putty” to describe some of our products. Your idea of the color “putty” may be different than someone else’s idea of “putty”. In addition, products may have the same color name but may not be the exact same color. For example, we have different shades of “black”. Please do not order using color names as your only guide. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

Inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

If it is important that your product be an exact color or shade, it is highly recommended that you inspect the actual product prior to its installation and address any concerns with your local independent installer. Most independent installers do not offer refunds or accept returns due to color variations.
