Pool Layout & Material Planning

Enter the approximate layout measurements and fence details for your planned pool fence installation.

Answer a few questions about your pool layout, preferred fence style, and installation needs to receive a recommended material summary.

Material quantities are based on the measurements and selections you provide. Extra material is not automatically added to your results.

Your results are estimates only and may vary depending on your exact layout and installation conditions.

We recommend reviewing your planned fence layout carefully before ordering materials.

What is the main reason you are installing a pool fence?*

Child or pet safety at home

Required for a building code, inspection, HOA, or agency

Added peace of mind

Other

Which fence height are you considering?*

A 4 ft pool fence is the most common choice for residential DIY pool safety. A 5 ft fence may be preferred when extra height is desired or when a project needs to meet a specific code, inspection, HOA, or agency requirement.

4 ft fence

5 ft fence

IMPORTANT: If your pool fence is being installed for a building code, inspection, HOA, agency, or other compliance requirement, a 5 ft fence is required in most cases.

You may continue with a 4 ft fence selection if preferred, however we strongly recommend confirming the required fence height with your local agency, inspector, HOA, or project contact before ordering.

Which installation method are you most interested in?*

DIY-Friendly 1/2-inch Peg Pole System

Professional-Style 1-inch Pole System

DIY-Friendly Peg Pole System
• Smaller 1/2-inch deck holes
• Most popular DIY option
• Uses a standard hammer drill
• Easier installation process

Professional-Style 1″ Pole System
• Larger 1-inch fence poles
• Requires wet core drilling equipment
• More advanced installation method
• Common for professional installations

Fence Length by Surface

Enter the approximate number of feet your fence will run across each surface type. Enter measurements in feet only using whole numbers. Do not enter inches, symbols, or fractions. Example: Enter 42 for 42 feet.

If your fence will only be installed into one surface, enter the full fence length for that surface and leave the others blank or enter 0.

Your material recommendations will be based on the measurements you provide. Extra material is not automatically added.

Feet in Concrete

Feet in Grass, Dirt or Turf

Grass, Dirt & Turf Installation Note

Pool fence installations in grass, dirt, or turf areas typically require PVC ground sleeves and concrete footings to properly secure the fence and maintain correct fence tension.

This estimator will provide a recommended PVC sleeve quantity later based on the measurements you enter.

Feet in Pavers

Feet in Tile

Feet in Wood Deck

IMPORTANT: The 1-inch pole system is not compatible with paver installations.

Please return to the previous step and select the DIY-Friendly Peg Pole System or contact us for assistance reviewing your layout.

IMPORTANT: 1-Inch Pole System & Wood Deck Installations

The 1-inch pole fence system is generally not recommended for wood or composite deck installations due to deck joist sizing, structural limitations, and installation requirements.

If your deck joists run consistently through the planned fence layout, All-Safe’s pre-assembled 15 foot fence sections with 36 inch pole spacing may work for your installation.

If the deck framing or joist spacing is staggered and does not align consistently throughout the layout, the fence may need to be built poolside using individual raw materials. We refer to this as a “Build on Site” installation.

Build on Site installations typically use:

Individual poles
Mesh with border
Moldings and raw materials

We generally recommend using the Peg Pole fence system for wood or composite deck installations.

Important: Current ASTM guidelines allow no more than 40 inches on center between fence poles.

Wood & Composite Deck Installation Note

If your deck joists run consistently through the planned fence layout, All-Safe’s pre-assembled 15 foot fence sections with 36 inch pole spacing may work for your installation.

If the deck framing or joist spacing is staggered and does not align consistently throughout the layout, the fence may need to be built poolside using individual raw materials. We refer to this as a “Build on Site” installation.

Build on Site installations typically use:

Individual poles
Mesh with border
Moldings and raw materials

We generally recommend using the Peg Pole fence system for wood or composite deck installations due to typical deck joist sizing and structural limitations.

Important: Current ASTM guidelines allow no more than 40 inches on center between fence poles.

IMPORTANT: Professional installation is highly recommended for tile or stone surfaces. Proceed with caution if you plan to complete your own installation.

Total Fence Length*

How many self-closing gates are included in your planned layout?*

IMPORTANT: Self-closing gates require proper fence tension and a stable installation surface in order to function correctly. Always install your gate into a solid, secure surface.

Many turns and layout direction changes can be completed using standard fence sections and normal installation techniques without requiring specialty corner hardware.

Depending on your layout and installation surfaces, some turns may benefit from additional support methods or corner components.

Select any turn methods below that may apply to your planned layout.

Which turn methods may apply to your layout?

This choice affects the appearance, installation method, and possible additional materials needed for your fence layout. Gradual or soft turns can usually be completed with standard fence sections and typically add little to no extra cost. Corner Posts can create a cleaner, more defined turn, but they may add product cost, installation time, and require a more advanced installation techniques.

Gradual Turns

Double Pole Turns

Corner Posts

Turn Method Options

Gradual Turns: Best for slight curves or gentle layout changes. No additional specialty components are usually needed.

Double Pole Turns: Uses standard fence poles placed close together so pole end points meet and create a turn.

Corner Posts: Best for sharper turns or a cleaner finished corner. Adds hardware cost and installation complexity.

Gradual Turn Note

Gradual turns are typically completed using standard fence sections and normal pole spacing. They usually do not require additional specialty components. However, you can add additional poles to ensure your installation goes smoothly.

Double Pole Turn Note

Double pole turns are typically completed using standard fence poles placed close together so two pole end points meet. They usually do not require additional poles. However, you can add additional poles to ensure your installation goes smoothly.

Optional Extra Poles

If you are making gradual turns, double-pole turns, or want extra poles available for layout adjustments, enter the number of additional poles you would like to include. These poles are typically the same height as your pool fence.

How many Corner Posts would you like to include?

Corner Posts are commonly used for sharper turns, cleaner alignment, or stronger support at tighter corners. They may add product cost, installation time, and require a more advanced installation method.

Concrete Footing Note

Round Terminating Posts and Round Terminating Post Sleeves require concrete footings. We recommend Rapid Set Concrete from your local hardware store.

Plan for approximately 1 bag of concrete per post or sleeve, depending on which option you are installing.

PVC Sleeve & Concrete Footing Note

Any pool fence installation in dirt, grass, or turf typically needs one PVC sleeve and one concrete footing per pole installed in that surface.

Approximately 1/3 bag of concrete is needed to make one footing. Concrete can be purchased from your local hardware store.

Below is an estimated PVC sleeve range for your project. The actual quantity may vary based on how many poles are installed into footings.

PVC Sleeves for Concrete Footings: {PVC Sleeves for Dirt Minimum:46}–{PVC Sleeves for Dirt Maximum:44}
