All-Safe® pool fences use a modular system that adapts to different yard layouts and surfaces. Compare heights, pole styles, colors and installation options below.
Steps, slopes, raised planters, glass walls, tight side yards: yards are rarely simple, especially in Southern California and Florida. All-Safe® removable mesh pool fence is a modular system of pre-assembled panels, poles, gates and hardware, plus specialty parts to handle tricky spots, so the fence can follow your yard instead of the other way around.

Each All-Safe® section comes pre-assembled: the mesh is already attached to the poles, and the poles are spaced up to 36 inches apart. A full section is 15 feet long.
About 80% of homeowners choose 4-foot. Some local codes or agencies call for 5-foot, so check with your inspector or agency before you order. Gates come in both heights to match.
Pool fence height requirements →Peg poles stand on a ½-inch stainless steel peg that drops into a small sleeve in your deck. 1-inch poles sit in a larger 1-inch sleeve. Both work well; it's your preference. Installing it yourself? Consider Peg first, because the tools are easier to find.
1-inch pole types: Y-beam (Classic), twin I-beam (Hampton and Malibu) and solid core, a 1-inch pole with a solid core reinforcing its base (Malibu Black, 4-foot).
Deck sleeves & plugs: every pole sits in a sleeve; plugs cover the holes when the fence is down. 1-inch sleeves come in tan or putty; Peg sleeves in gray, tan or white.
Peg vs 1-inch explained →Mesh, border and poles come in set combinations; you can't mix your own. Gates come in the same combinations, so they match your fence. Each combination is a paint finish plus a mesh weave plus a color. Color & style guides →
Classic is a smooth paint. Ultra is a textured, premium paint.
10×10 has 10 squares per inch each way, a finer weave (Malibu, Combo E). 5×7 has 5 by 7 squares per inch (Hampton, Combo H).
Chosen separately: ½-inch Peg or 1-inch, in 4-foot or 5-foot.

Gates come in 4-foot and 5-foot heights with a 30-inch gate frame. The walk-through opening between the gate posts is wider: 31¾ inches from post face to post face, with the posts 33 inches apart center to center. Gates come in the same color combinations as your fence.
Start or end the fence at a house, garage or garden wall, stucco, block or wood, and keep proper tension where it meets. How it attaches →
Once a section is untensioned, it rolls up for storage. Keep rolls in a clean, dry bin, and cover the deck holes with plugs. Sections can't come out until untensioned, which helps keep children from removing them.

If you've been told a pool fence can't work in your yard, these are usually the reason it can. All-Safe® makes them for its own removable mesh system.
For turns beyond 45°, where a standard two-pole corner can bow.
For raised walls, planters and elevation changes that could be climbed from above.
For stairs, sloped decks, retaining walls and changes in surface height.
End the fence anywhere, with no wall needed.
For the small gaps by walls, windows, BBQ islands and planters where an anchor won't fit.
Narrow side yards, short returns by BBQs, small openings between structures.
A few of the layouts people assume won't work.
We have the parts and 30+ years of know-how. Send a few photos and rough measurements and we'll suggest the right height, sections, gate placement and specialty parts.
4-foot and 5-foot. About 80% of homeowners choose 4-foot. Check with your inspector or agency for what your area requires.
15 feet, pre-assembled, with poles up to 36 inches apart. That's 25% more fence than a 12-foot section, so you need fewer sections and fewer deck holes. Sections can be trimmed shorter to fit.
Not on a pre-assembled section. For different spacing, order mesh with border material and poles, and build to your own spacing.
Either works; it's your preference. For DIY, consider Peg first because the tools are easier to find.
No. Sections and gates come in set combinations of paint finish, mesh weave and color, so everything matches.
Classic is a smooth paint finish. Ultra is a textured, premium paint finish.
The gate frame is 30 inches. The opening between the gate posts is wider: 31¾ inches from post face to post face, with the posts 33 inches apart center to center.
Yes. Step poles, angled raised panels, wall attachments, terminating posts and gap fillers are made for those spots.
