A mesh pool fence is a removable safety barrier that surrounds your pool to help protect children and pets. Built with strong, climb-resistant mesh and sturdy poles, it creates a secure perimeter without blocking your view. It stands 4 or 5 feet tall, features see-through mesh, and is securely inserted into your pool deck with proper tension—yet can be taken down when you need full access.

Pool fences should meet the needs of pool owners. A removable mesh pool fence is completely customizable to support your swimming lifestyle while meeting or exceeding your responsibilities under the building code, HOA covenants, or insurance carrier requirements. Build a pool fence installation tailored to your pool’s unique requirements.
While simple pool fence layouts use standard components, most installations call for extra flexibility. Our exclusive advanced components help tackle tricky corners, tight spaces, or turns — and they’re all available if your layout needs them.

Pool fences and gates are available in either 4-foot or 5-foot heights. Choose the right height to ensure proper safety while complimenting your layout.
The most popular pool fence height is 4 feet. However, if you are installing to meet code or adoption agency requirements, you more than likely will need a 5-foot fence. Check with your local agency before installation to ensure your fence will meet their requirements.
All-Safe pool fencing is ASTM-approved. Click here to read more about ASTM, Local & State Safety Codes.
Our mesh pool fences come in pre-configured color sets that combine mesh color, border trim, and pole finish for a clean, cohesive look. You can choose from the following combinations:
These combinations are designed for both aesthetic appeal and compatibility with our available components. Not all combinations are available in every mesh style, paint finish, or pole type. Contact your local reseller to see which color options they offer, or shop any available combination directly from our store. For more details, visit our Colors & Styles Knowledge Base.
A secure pool fence isn’t complete without a properly installed gate. Our self-closing, self-latching gates are designed for safety and ease of use—automatically swinging shut and locking with a key-lockable latch. Choose from multiple gate latch styles and select the frame height and post type to fit your layout. Every gate meets ASTM safety standards and is compatible with both peg and 1-inch fence systems.
If your pool fence needs to begin and end at a fixed point—like a house, wall, or post—the Wall Attachment Kit provides a secure way to do it. It’s perfect for layouts that don’t fully enclose the pool, maintaining stability while allowing for an ASTM-approved spacing where the fence meets the wall.
Deck Sleeves are installed in the pool deck to hold each fence pole securely in place. When the fence is removed, matching plugs cover the holes to help prevent debris buildup and keep your deck looking clean. Available in multiple colors to match your setup—1-inch sleeves come in Tan or Putty, and Peg Pole sleeves are offered in Gray, Tan, or White.
Safety comes first—but convenience matters, too. Our mesh pool fences are designed to be both secure and easy to manage. Once the tension is loosened by an adult, each fence section can be removed and rolled up for compact storage.
To keep your fence in top condition, we recommend storing rolled sections in a clean, dry container—like a large lidded trash can or storage bin—to protect against accidental damage. And don’t forget: any exposed holes in your deck can be covered with matching deck plugs for a clean, finished look.
Important: Fence sections cannot be removed unless properly untensioned, making them secure against accidental removal by children.
While simple pool fence layouts use standard components, most installations call for extra flexibility. Our exclusive advanced components help tackle tricky corners, tight spaces, or turns for a custom fit that also meets HOA, building code, and insurance standards. Build a removable mesh pool fence tailored to your pool’s unique requirements.

A standard All-Safe pool fence panel is 36 inches in width. That is also the maximum width we allow between poles to ensure maximum security. However, pool fence panels can be shortened to allow for a custom fit to your pool deck.
Pool gates span 33 inches in width (from center to center of gate post poles) with a 30-inch gate frame panel to ensure easy entrance and exit into the pool with the pool fence still in place. Pool gates can come in 4 or 5-foot heights to match.
A standard All-Safe pool fence section is manufactured with one roll of mesh and 6 poles that spans 5 panels. This means we can use one section to span a maximum of 15 feet. Sections can be customized to be shorter, if needed, during installation to fit the required layout length. One section is needed for every 15 feet of fence.
Greater Strength, Fewer Wrinkles, More Versatile Design Options
Many companies use a 2 pole system when they need to create a turn that is 45 degrees or beyond in your fence. This may force other poles in your fence to bow awkwardly. All-Safe’s exclusive Corner Posts are specifically engineered to make turns beyond 45 degrees. The Corner Post allows your fence to maintain tension around a corner without the poles bowing while minimizing the number of holes in your deck.
Improved Safety On Elevation Changes, Up to 8 Ft. High
A common safety concern, that needs to be addressed when installing the fence over a planter or retaining wall, is preventing a child from going on top of the wall or planter and swinging around the lower part of the fence. All-Safe® is the only manufacturer that offers Angled Raised Protection Panels and poles that go up to 8 feet to block these areas correctly. When Angled Raised Protection Panels are used, they will raise your fence to the proper height. All-Safe’s Angled Raised Protection Panels also offer a softer, more attractive look while securing the area better than any other product in the pool fence industry.

Fill Awkward Gaps That Allow Access Through The Fence
Side Panel and Piggybacks are another All Safe exclusive component developed to solve a frequent problem with removable mesh fences, how to fill awkward gaps left when a fence is installed. Mesh fences are tensioned systems, and what they are anchored to is vital for proper function and safety of the fence. When the fence is stopped/ended somewhere that does not have the proper space, room to drill or pour a concrete footing, a gap is created. The gap that is left can allow access for a small pet or child and would also make the installation not compliant with ASTM standards. Side panels and piggybacks help fill that gap. When a fence is stopped at a bbq with a ledge or a window with a decorative framing, side panels and piggybacks can be used to close the space that is left.
Self-Supporting – No Wall Attachment Required
Mesh pool fences can’t simply stop anywhere—they must terminate at a point strong enough to hold the tension of the fence line. While wall attachments work for solid structures like concrete block or stucco, they aren’t suitable for surfaces like glass, vinyl, wood, or wrought iron. That’s where our Free Standing Terminating Posts come in.
All-Safe® offers two engineered solutions:
Both post styles securely anchor your fence without the need for structural attachment—giving you more freedom to create safe, compliant layouts in any environment.
When your fence layout needs to navigate stairs, slopes, or raised planters, Step Poles provide a clean, secure solution. Designed to handle elevation changes anywhere in your layout, Step Poles help maintain proper tension, alignment, and safety—without compromising appearance.
These poles work seamlessly with our angled mesh panels or when used alone, and are available for both peg and 1-inch fence systems. Whether you’re stepping up a few inches or following a gradual slope, Step Poles make it easy to create a professional, safety-compliant fence layout across uneven terrain.
Yes! Our pool fencing system is designed with DIYers in mind. Most handy homeowners can install it with basic tools and a little patience. We provide detailed instructions, how-to videos, and live support to help you every step of the way.
Prefer to leave it to the pros? Contact a local installer or reseller to have it professionally installed.
If you’re hiring a professional installer or working with a local reseller, you won’t need any tools—they bring everything required.
For DIY installations, you’ll need a hammer drill, drill bit to match your sleeve size, chalk line, level, tape measure, rubber mallet, and ideally a Drill Guide for accurate hole placement. A full tools list is provided in our installation videos and manuals.
Our fences are engineered to meet or exceed ASTM F2286 safety standards for removable mesh pool fencing. Local codes may vary, so we recommend checking with your local building department or reaching out to a reseller for guidance.
Visit our Pool Fence Code & Compliance page to learn more about common regulations and how to stay compliant.
Yes—most local codes require a self-closing, self-latching, key-lockable gate for a pool fence to be compliant. All-Safe gates meet ASTM F2286 standards and are designed to swing shut and latch automatically for added peace of mind.
In many cases—such as adding a fence for extra safety around an existing pool—you are not be required to meet code. However, some situations may require it, including:
While our fences are engineered to meet or exceed ASTM F2286 safety standards, requirements vary by location. We strongly recommend checking with your local building department, inspector, or agency to confirm what applies to your situation. For more info, visit our Pool Fence Code & Compliance page.
Yes! Once the tension is loosened by an adult, each fence section can be lifted out, rolled up, and stored away. Matching deck plugs are included to cover the holes for a clean, finished look. The removal process is designed to be simple for adults—but secure enough to prevent children from taking it down.
Professional installation by a local reseller typically takes just a few hours.
For DIY installations, plan on a full day or two depending on your layout, experience level, and tools available. More complex layouts with gates, slopes, or planters may take additional time.
No problem! We offer Step Poles and angled mesh panels to handle stairs, slopes, raised planters, and uneven ground. These components help maintain proper alignment and safety standards, no matter the terrain.
Our fence can be installed in a wide range of surfaces, including concrete, pavers, tile, dirt, and grass. For dirt or grass, we use specialized anchor pipes to ensure a stable and safe installation. Tile installations are possible with care—our guides and videos cover the best methods for each surface.
No. When properly installed and tensioned, mesh pool fences are secure and extremely difficult for a child to climb, lift, or tip over. The flexible mesh has no footholds, and the poles are held in place by tension—sections can only be removed after the tension is loosened by an adult.
Yes! Mesh pool fences are a great way to keep most dogs out of the pool area. The tight weave and flexible design make it difficult for pets to squeeze through or damage the fence. Most dogs leave the fence alone—but you know your pet best. If your dog tends to chew everything or claw through barriers, extra caution may be needed. Some determined pets may find a way (as they often do), but the good news is that any damage is repairable. Replacement mesh, poles, and hardware are available—you don’t need to replace the whole system.
Yes. In addition to mesh fencing, you can consider safety nets, automatic pool covers, or a combination of solutions to best suit your dog’s behavior and pool layout. Our team can help you choose the best option.

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.
