A pool fence, also known as a removable pool safety fence, is designed to prevent unsupervised access to your swimming pool, helping protect children and pets. The most popular option for homeowners is a removable mesh pool fence, which uses strong, climb-resistant mesh panels supported by poles to create a secure perimeter around the pool.
Mesh pool fencing is designed to be both safe and practical. It typically stands 4 to 5 feet tall, includes a self-closing, self-latching gate, and allows clear visibility of the pool area. The fence sections are installed into sleeves in your pool deck and held securely in place through tension created by the angle of the drilled holes. This allows the fence to remain stable during use while still being removable when full access to the pool is needed. Unlike permanent fencing, removable pool fencing is designed to be taken down and reinstalled as needed, making it a flexible solution for homeowners who want both safety and access.

Pool fence sections are installed around your pool using evenly spaced holes drilled into the deck. Each section connects to the next, forming a continuous barrier that surrounds the pool area.
The poles fit into sleeves in the deck, and the system is tightened as each section is installed. This creates tension across the fence line, helping keep the mesh upright and secure without permanently fixing it in place.
Because the system works as a continuous barrier, it stays stable during everyday use while still allowing sections to be removed and reinstalled when needed.
A self-closing, self-latching gate is installed at an entry point, ensuring the fence remains closed automatically after use.
This makes removable pool fencing one of the most versatile and widely used pool safety solutions for residential backyards.

Mostly, yes. People search for “temporary pool fence” or “portable pool fence” when they want a barrier they can take down for a party, a season, or a move — and that’s exactly what a removable mesh fence is. The difference is how it’s built: a removable fence is tensioned into sleeves set in your deck, so it stands up to daily use like a permanent fence, but it comes down in minutes. The sleeves sit flush with the surface, and deck plugs cover the holes while the fence is down. Sections can be stored, reinstalled, or moved to a new home.
Most homeowners end up leaving it up year-round because the mesh is so transparent — but the option is always there.

Trusted by thousands of families for child & pet pool safety.
A mesh pool fence is one of the most effective ways to help prevent unsupervised access to the pool — especially for families with young children or pets.
Designed to create a secure barrier without permanently changing your backyard, it adds protection while maintaining clear visibility and everyday usability. Many homeowners choose removable mesh pool fencing for one simple reason:
peace of mind when you can’t be poolside every second.
A mesh pool fence may be the right solution if:
When properly installed, a mesh pool fence adds an important layer of protection — helping your family enjoy the pool while prioritizing safety every day.
A removable mesh fence is the most popular choice, but it isn’t the only one — All-Safe makes every type of residential pool safety product, so you’re not limited to a fence.
A pool safety net may be a better fit if you’d rather cover the water than surround it, you have very little deck to work with, or you want the yard fully open when the pool isn’t in use.
A pool cover may be a better fit if you want one solution that handles safety and maintenance together. Safety covers come in several forms — mesh safety covers, automatic covers, and sliding deck covers — and a leaf cover is an inexpensive way to keep debris out (it isn’t a safety barrier on its own, but it can go over a safety net).

A pool fence cost can vary depending on your layout, materials, and whether you choose professional installation or a DIY pool fence kit. Most homeowners can expect a removable pool fence to fall within a predictable price range based on the size of the pool and the number of gates required.
On average, professionally installed pool fencing typically costs more due to labor and layout planning, while DIY pool fence installation offers a more affordable option for homeowners willing to install it themselves. You can see current pool fence section pricing and choose your height, color and pole type online.
Several factors influence the total cost of a pool fence, including:
Example pricing based on a standard residential pool layout:
4-foot pool fence, approximately 60 linear feet total, with one self-closing gate installed on a concrete pool deck.
Your layout, surface, and number of gates will move the number up or down. See current section pricing or request a quote from your local reseller.
