Step-by-Step Guide: Removing & Reinstalling Your Pool Fence

Introduction

Your All-Safe removable pool fence provides peace of mind, but there may be times when you need to temporarily remove and reinstall it. Follow these step-by-step instructions to ensure a smooth process.

Removing Your Pool Fence

Step 1: Start with the Gate

• Open the gate and stand in the opening to prevent it from closing.
• Locate the eye installed by the installer—it should be in a horizontal position when the gate and fence are properly set up.
• Use the Quick Link to turn the eye to a vertical position, then detach the Quick Link.
• Slide the eye out of the slot in the Rectangular Bracket.

Step 2: Remove the First Pole

• Remove the first pole connected to the gate and set it aside.
• The Gate Truss will lean at a three-degree angle—simply slide it out of the deck sleeve.
• Repeat this process for the other side of the gate.

Step 3: Detach Wall Attachments & Termination Points

• Disconnect any wall attachments or other termination points before continuing.

Step 4: Separate Fence Sections

• Use the section latch to disconnect each fence section.
• If you have the New Quick Lock Latch, simply unlock it for a quicker process.
• If you don’t have this latch yet, consider upgrading—it simplifies the entire process.

Step 5: Mark Your Fence for Easy Reinstallation

• Use a paint pen or silver Sharpie to mark the bottom inside of the first and last pole in each section.
• Avoid using tape, as it can leave sticky residue and look unsightly.

Step 6: Remove and Roll the Fence Properly

• Remove the first pole in the section and roll the fence toward the next pole.
• Continue this process, always rolling neatly.
• Do not pile up the fence—this can lead to tangling, wrinkles, and difficulty storing it properly.

Step 7: Handling Curved Sections

• When connected, curved fence poles should be straight.
• When disconnected, they will angle outward.
• Remove and reinstall the poles at the same angle they were originally drilled.

Step 8: Removing a Corner Post

• Roll up each side of the fence toward the Corner Post.
• Remove the Corner Post last.

Step 9: Insert Deck Caps

• To keep your deck clean and prevent tripping hazards, insert deck caps into the empty deck sleeves.

Step 10: Store the Fence Correctly

• Store fence section rolls upright to prevent damage.
• Do not lay them on the ground—rodents may crawl inside and chew the mesh, causing damage.

Reinstalling Your Pool Fence

Step 1: Remove Deck Caps

• Use a flathead screwdriver or your fingernail to remove the deck caps.

Step 2: Install the Corner Post

• Since the Corner Post is drilled at a sharper angle to absorb tension, it must be reinstalled correctly.
• Place it back in at the correct angle before inserting the other fence poles.

Step 3: Reinstall Fence Sections

• Insert each fence pole back into its original position.
• Ensure that each section is aligned with your original layout.

Step 4: Reconnect Termination Points

• Reattach wall attachments and any other termination points before installing the gate.

Step 5: Reinstall the Gate

• Set aside the fence poles immediately to the right and left of the gate for now.
• Insert the Gate Trusses into the deck sleeves at a 3-degree angle, ensuring they sit flush with the deck.
• Once the Gate Trusses are in place, insert the two remaining fence poles.

Step 6: Secure the Gate Connection

• Pull the Gate Truss and fence post together, then insert the eye back into its original position.
• Hook the Quick Link onto the eye and screw it closed.
• Turn the eye to the horizontal position to lock it in place.

Step 7: Check Gate Functionality

• Open and release the gate to test if it closes and latches properly.
• If the gate is not closing correctly, refer to our article: “How to Adjust Your Pool Fence“.

Final Tip: Regular Maintenance

• Periodically check and adjust your fence and gate to maintain optimal security and peace of mind.
