Insert fence poles into the sleeves and connect each section.
6
Attach the self-closing gate and adjust the latch.

Don’t have a drill? Some tools can be rented at your local hardware store.
Your DIY pool fence order ships in manageable boxes designed for easy handling and transport.
Fence sections are rolled, hardware is bagged, and every box is clearly labeled to simplify installation.
Most shipments include boxes approximately 4–5 feet long. Individual fence sections typically weigh 17–20 lbs, and some boxes may contain multiple sections, resulting in box weights of 50 lbs or more.
Because pool fencing uses durable aluminum poles and heavy-duty mesh, shipping costs may be higher than smaller online purchases—but your materials are packaged to arrive safely and ready for installation.
