Installation Guide

1. Decide where you want your fence. When installing In-ground Removable Safety Fencing take these
guidelines into consideration:
• The fence must isolate the pool area from all exits of the house.
• All sides of the pool area should be enclosed by either the In-Ground Removable Safety Fencing and/or
another permanent barrier such as a block wall, house, wrought irons fence, etc.
• If safety fence is not being used as a total enclosure, and a tie-in to an existing structure is
necessary, that structure must be strong, solid and high enough not to allow a child to get around,
through or over the structure.
• Do not place fence adjacent to another structure that a child may climb upon. This includes raised
seating and decorative boulders.
• Fence should be a minimum distance away from the pool edge to allow proper maintenance while fence
is in use.
2. Determine your starting point. If the run of the fence is going to be straight it is important to snap a chalk line to
ensure that the fence remains in a straight line.

FOR 4ʼ X 12ʼ FENCING: Using the outside holes of the template, mark the five holes for the first panel OR using
a tape measure mark holes 36” on center.
*IMPORTANT: When marking the holes for a curved run of fencing, holes should be marked up to 1/4” closer or further
apart to make up for slack in the fence (see diagrams in step 4).
4. With a level and a square, or an in-ground safety fence drilling guide (available through your dealer), drill the holes that
have been marked per the angled guidelines below.
Angle guidelines are as follows:
a. Holes for a straight run of fencing should be drilled at a 90 degree angle with the deck.
b. Holes for an outside curved run of fencing should be 2 to 3 degrees with the top of the pole angled away
from the pool. Tighter curves may require an angle up to 4 degrees. *Mark holes slightly closer
together to accommodate the fabric wrapping around the pole.
c. Hole for an inside curved run of fencing should be 2 to 3 degrees with the top of the pole angled toward the
pool. Tighter curves may require an angle up to 4 degrees. *Mark holes slightly further apart to make for
slack in the fence due to less fabric wrapping around the pole.
