A new year’s swim season always brings exciting developments and new pool fence options to take home swimming pools to the next level. Whether you’re looking for pool fence ideas that give you more privacy while relaxing, more fun while entertaining, or greater security when supervision isn’t present, we’ve got you covered with some of our staff’s top recommendations for 2025. You can create a safer swimming pool area that better suits your needs with the right pool accessories for your backyard oasis.
You don’t have to break the bank to take advantage of some cool new pool fence options. As DIY pool fence installations become increasingly popular, so do upgrade accessories, parts, and equipment that improve your swimming pool safety fence without needing an entire renovation. This is partly due to the modular nature of removable mesh pool fencing.
This modern take on pool fencing uses sections of rip-resistant mesh secured to strong, lightweight poles and anchored in deck sleeves to create a taut, gap-free pool fence. It’s closed with a self-closing and self-latching gate, and the entire installation can be removed to make room for entertaining. Alternatively, with the drilling of additional anchor holes and some spare pool fence sections, you can expand your fenced pool area to add other equipment and amenities inside the safety barrier’s perimeter.
When you’re choosing your pool fence options, consider the ideas that make the most sense for your pool usage. Someone whose pool is primarily used for sunbathing or keeping the grandkids entertained through the summer will have very different needs than an athlete who uses their pool to stay in triathlon shape. We’re going to tell you about some of the most popular DIY pool fence options for 2025, but if they don’t fit your needs, there are plenty of other opportunities tailored to your needs.
Removable mesh pool fencing is secure, but it’s also easy to see through the mesh to monitor your swimming pool area. Sometimes, you want a little less exposure and a little more privacy. That’s where portable privacy screens come in.
Privacy screens provide opaque coverage that can be positioned to allow for modesty while still getting some healthy Vitamin D from the sun. Some can also be used as sun screens to provide shade or wind breaks to keep your pool time protected from gusts. Just determine what kind of coverage you need and the best design for your swimming pool area.
There are plenty of lighting options for your swimming pool, from underwater lights installed by a professional to floating LED balls of various colors. LED fence light options can include light strings, fence pole toppers, and clip-on lights that hang freely. Because of advances in LED and solar technology, these are often inexpensive and easy to install wirelessly.
Lighting is a great all-around pool fence idea because it lets you stay out later as the days get shorter. It also opens up nighttime entertaining in and around the pool. Just remember that lights need to provide enough illumination for safe pool use if you intend on swimming, but they make a great atmospheric aesthetic anytime you’re entertaining in your backyard after dark.
It’s always a good time to get ahead of issues before they become problems by repairing and replacing worn, old, or weathered parts before they have the chance to fail. We offer a full line of DIY pool fence parts options to help you restore or upgrade your fence. You don’t even have to wait for something to go wrong in order to justify making your pool fence feel more right.
The modular design of removable mesh pool fencing means that with the right tools and parts, you can always expand, reshape, upgrade, change the color, add a gate, or connect to accessory structures. That means the sky is the limit when coming up with the perfect DIY pool fence ideas for your property.
While your pool fence may not need its own Insta, it doesn’t hurt to connect. Modern smart technology is designed to help you integrate household fixtures, appliances, and tech into your digital life through apps, websites, and push notifications.
Smart pool fence alarms not only emit an audible alert when the fence is opened but also send your connected devices an emergency notification. Smart lights or heaters can make sure your pool is ready for swimming when you are. You can even use smart technology to keep your kids and pets safer with immersion detectors that trigger even if they find a way under, over, or around your pool safety fence.
Indoor/outdoor entertainment systems are great options for your swimming pool area. Flat-screen TVs shouldn’t be hung on the fence, but pedestals, stands, and platforms can turn swim time into movie time. Just keep all cords and non-waterproof electronics away from the pool itself. For a truly big-screen experience, mini projectors can be set up to turn the back of your house or a hung-up bed sheet into a swim-in theatre.
Movies aren’t the same without sound, and your speaker options are even more plentiful. Waterproof and submersible Bluetooth speakers are reasonably priced. For bigger, fuller tones, consider larger speaker units or even karaoke machines that can play tunes or turn you and your friends into the evening’s entertainment.
Safety barriers aren’t the only equipment that can help save lives around the pool. Long poles, flotation devices, and weatherproof first aid kits can all be handy in an emergency. Attaching them to your pool fence is a great option for keeping them visible and handy.
Lightweight utility hooks can be added to your pool fence poles to hold nets or long poles. They also serve to attach flotation tethers for easy retrieval. First aid kits can often be attached with the addition of a nylon strap to secure them in place. Your local hobby store has several variations of hook-and-loop tape that let you secure your first aid kit while keeping it easy to grab for any emergency or injury.

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.
