There are two ways to get an All-Safe removable mesh pool fence around your pool. An independent local installer can measure, plan and install it for you, usually in a single day. Or you can plan it, order the sections and install it yourself using our step-by-step guides and videos.
Both paths use the same fence. The difference is who does the work, what it costs, and how much you want to take on.
Most families choose between these two paths based on budget, their yard, and how much of the work they want to do themselves.
| Professional installation | DIY installation | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | An independent local installer | You, with our step-by-step guides and videos |
| Typical cost | $2,000–$3,500 installed | $800–$1,700 in materials |
| Measuring and layout | Measured on site and laid out by someone who does this every week | You measure and plan it with our planning tools |
| Tools | None needed | Drill and basic hand tools (see below) |
| Time | Most installs are done in a single day once scheduled | Most finish in one day; larger or more complex layouts can take longer |
| Best fit | Slopes, steps, raised walls, tricky paver decks, tight corners, or anyone who wants it handled | Concrete, grass, dirt or turf, and many paver decks, for homeowners comfortable with a drill |

Costs vary with your layout, the number of gates, your deck surface and how involved the installation is. The ranges above are what most homeowners spend; your quote or order total may be higher or lower.
All-Safe fences are installed by a network of independent local installers who know our system inside and out. You start with one free quote request, and we connect you with the installer who serves your area.
A professional install includes on-site measuring and an expert layout from someone who handles pavers, slopes, steps and odd corners all the time. For many families, that experience is the most valuable part of the job.
Local installers are independently owned businesses that buy and install All-Safe products. Your quote, installation and labor warranty come from your installer.
Not every area has a local All-Safe installer yet. If yours does not, we will let you know right away and help you with the DIY option, and our office may be able to suggest another local company.
Our fence comes in pre-assembled 15-foot sections, so there is no mesh to stretch or panels to build. If you are comfortable with a drill and a tape measure, most homeowners finish in one day, depending on how complex the layout is.

Not sure DIY is right for your yard? Start with a free installation quote before you order. It is easier to choose one path up front than to switch partway through.
The same few things drive the price whichever path you choose. A professional install adds labor, on-site measuring and layout planning on top of materials.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Length of fence | More linear feet means more sections and more holes to drill |
| Number of gates | Each self-closing gate adds hardware and setup |
| Deck surface | Poured concrete is the simplest. Grass, dirt and turf need PVC sleeves set in poured concrete footings, and pavers may need sleeves too |
| Layout | Steps, slopes, raised walls and tight corners take more planning and parts |
| Pole type | 1-inch poles need a wet core drill; peg-style poles use a hammer drill |

Your deck surface and layout are the best guide. Here they are from simplest to most involved for a DIY install.
| Your yard | DIY | Professional |
|---|---|---|
| Poured concrete | The simplest and easiest DIY install | Always an option if you would rather not drill |
| Grass, dirt or turf | Very doable. A little more work: each pole sits in a PVC sleeve set in a poured concrete footing | Always an option |
| Pavers | Doable. How easy depends on your pavers and how they were laid | A good choice if your pavers are uneven or delicate |
| Slopes, steps or raised walls | Possible if you are up for a challenge | Recommended: this is where an installer’s experience pays off |
| Tight corners, trees, planters, odd shapes | Possible with a careful layout | Often the easier choice |
| Needs to pass an inspection | Check your local requirements first | Recommended: installers know local requirements |

Most professionally installed All-Safe fences run $2,000–$3,500. DIY installations typically run $800–$1,700 in materials. Your total depends on fence length, gates, deck surface and layout.
A professional install is usually done in a single day once it is scheduled. Most DIY installs are done in one day, depending on how complex the layout is and your surface.
Please be home at the start. Your installer will walk you through the chalked-out layout so you can approve it before any drilling begins. Most homeowners stay for the whole install, which we recommend in case questions come up. If you need to step out, your installer can give you an estimated finish time. Be back by then for a quick demonstration of how to use your fence and adjust the gate over time.
Yes. Our fence ships in pre-assembled 15-foot sections, and our step-by-step videos and guides walk you through it. You will need a drill suited to your pole type and a free afternoon or weekend.
Peg-style poles need a hammer drill with an SDS chuck and a 5/8″ masonry bit. 1-inch poles need a wet core drill with a diamond core bit. You will also need basic hand tools.
Independent local installers who buy and install All-Safe products. They are separate businesses, so your quote, installation and labor warranty come from them.
We will let you know as soon as you request a quote. DIY is usually the best route in that case, and our office may be able to suggest another local company.
Yes. Poured concrete is the simplest. Grass, dirt and turf are very doable, with PVC sleeves set in poured concrete footings to hold the fence at the right tension. Pavers depend on how they were laid. Slopes and steps use special components, and that is where we usually suggest a professional installer.
Yes, but it works best to choose one path from the start. Parts ordered for a DIY install may not match what an installer would use on your layout. If you are not sure, start with a free installation quote.
