Custom Pole Spacing and Height for Pool Fences – What You Need to Know
Can I Order Custom Pole Spacing or Fence Height?
We often receive questions about whether All-Safe pool fencing can be customized beyond our standard options. Here’s everything you need to know about custom pole spacing, custom fence height, and how to plan a custom layout for your pool.
Standard All-Safe Pool Fence Sections
All-Safe pool fence sections come pre-assembled for easy installation. Each section includes:
- 6 poles spaced evenly every 36 inches
- 15 feet of mesh per section
- Available heights: 4 feet or 5 feet
These standard sections meet most safety and design needs for pool areas.
Why 36-Inch Pole Spacing Is Standard
Our standard 36-inch pole spacing is designed to provide:
- ASTM-compliant safety for removable mesh pool fencing
- Strong, stable sections that resist sagging
- A clean look that maintains visibility around your pool
This spacing balances safety, durability, and aesthetics.
Custom Pole Spacing
Yes, you can create custom pole spacing!
If you need a different pole spacing — like 30 inches, 33 inches, or another dimension — you can order:
- Individual poles
- Mesh Rolls (15 feet) or Gate Mesh Rolls (30 inches wide)
This allows you to assemble your fence on-site and cut mesh to fit your exact layout.

Tip: Custom spacing can add time and complexity to your project. Be sure to plan carefully and consider ordering extra materials.
Custom Fence Height
No, we don’t offer custom fence heights.
Our fences come in 4-foot and 5-foot heights only.
However, if you have special circumstances — like steps, slopes, planters, or retaining walls — we do offer custom components to raise mesh heights in specific areas.
Product Compatibility
- All-Safe mesh, poles, and hardware are designed to work together for best results.
- When using custom components or mixing brands, double-check compatibility (pole size, sleeve fit, etc.).
- Not all pole styles or finishes may be available for custom builds — contact us for help choosing the right parts.
Ordering & Planning Tips
- Allow extra time to plan and assemble custom configurations.
- Consider ordering a few extra poles and extra mesh length as a backup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I order fence sections with different pole spacing already assembled?
A: No. Custom pole spacing requires ordering mesh and poles separately and assembling them on-site.
Q: Can I get a fence taller than 5 feet?
A: We don’t offer custom-height panels, but we do provide components to add mesh heights in specific areas.
Q: What’s the maximum distance I can space the poles?
A: We recommend staying close to 36 inches. Wider spacing can reduce strength and may not meet ASTM safety standards.
Q: Can I mix All-Safe parts with another brand?
A: Yes, many customers with brands like LifeSaver, Guardian, Pool Guard, and others have successfully used All-Safe parts for repairs or upgrades. However, we always recommend using All-Safe components together for best compatibility and safety. If mixing brands, be sure to double-check measurements—such as pole diameter and sleeve size—to ensure a proper fit.
