Tips for New Homeowners
Our home pool safety tips will get you started on protecting your new swimming pool and the loved ones who will be using it. From pool safety barriers to where it’s ok to cut costs, learn more about your new backyard oasis.
Knowing which fence repairs are DIY will help you save money and get your swimming pool safety barrier back in the game faster. Many parts of your fence are designed to be user-repairable or replaceable if damage occurs. While our ASTM-compliant pool fencing is engineered for longevity and to resist damage from UV rays, the elements, pool chemicals, and tears, pool fence repair may eventually be necessary. When that happens, we offer the same high-quality parts the pros use to restore your fence’s integrity.
When your removable mesh pool fence is damaged or has other issues, it’s important to know your options. Confusion about the need for warranty coverage, servicing, or repair can delay restoring your fence to its full protective capacity.
When you need to save money on maintaining your fence, you don’t want to sacrifice safety in the process. Before choosing low-cost parts from local home improvement stores or online “budget” fence part sellers, understand that they may not be compatible with All-Safe Pool removable mesh pool fence, and they may not meet the same high standards of quality. That doesn’t mean you don’t have the opportunity to cut your costs, however.
Pool fence repair DIY work saves you money without compromising your fence’s effectiveness as long as you use quality parts and materials properly in the repair work. We’ve engineered our pool fence design to be user-friendly. That means some of the most common pool fence repair and service jobs can be successfully completed by the pool owner in the comfort of their own backyard.
Properly installed, your pool fence gate swings open and closes easily. The self-closing design reduces the risk that a door left ajar will allow unsupervised pool access, and its self-latching feature helps keep your pool fence secure. When your gate doesn’t close, it puts your pool and loved ones at risk.
There are three main areas of concern that can lead to a misalignment that prevents your gate from closing: the fixtures, the hinge tension, and the latch. Always start by ensuring the fence is fully installed and that the screws that attach and align the hinges and latch are still tight. If they’ve loosened, the gate can sag. Next, check the latch alignment and adjust it using the set screw on the inside of the latch arm that’s attached to the gate frame. Finally, you may need to increase the tension on the gate hinges. Press down with a flat screwdriver on the top of the hinge and turn the screw to tighten or loosen gate tension, using the arrows as guidance.
Rips, tears, and eventual weathering can all be fixed easily. Small rips or tears may be handled with a patch that secures and supports the edges. For larger patches of damage, you will likely need to replace the fence mesh. If your fence poles are undamaged, rolls of pool fence mesh can be used with the existing poles, molding strips, and hardware. If pole replacement is needed as well, ordering fence sections can save you time and effort by giving you 15-foot pool fence sections that are ready for installation.
Another easy fence repair DIY task is replacing bent or broken fence poles. Order a matching pool fence replacement pole to ensure a cohesive appearance. Once it arrives, remove the old molding strip and hardware to free the damaged pole from the mesh material. The new pole can then be installed in its place using the provided molding and hardware to secure the mesh. If done while the rest of the fence is installed around your pool, it’s easy to get the right tension by placing the replacement fence pole in the existing anchor deck sleeve.
The mesh fabric used in your pool fence is designed to resist stretching. Often, changes to the tension in your pool fence mesh can be traced back to the loosening of fittings that secure your fence sections to each other or other structures. If your mesh has stretched due to heavy or frequent pressure, replacement is needed. Check your poles carefully for signs of damage and determine if you need a roll of pool fence mesh material or pool fence sections that have both new mesh and poles for your pool fence repair DIY job. That way, you avoid extending your repair timeline by waiting for a second order with additional pool fence repair parts.
These small pieces of hardware play an important role in securing sections of pool fencing. Replacement hardware and latches and the eyes they latch onto are installed with sheet metal screws to give you firm anchor points for connecting parts of your safety barrier to each other or surrounding support structures.

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.
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.
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.
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.
