You must squeeze poles together to remove and
replace the latch.
Be careful not to rotate drill too
fast when beveling the hole or
you may brake your drill bit.
Step 5: Finishing & Latching Your New Pool Fence D.I.Y.
Latching the fence: You now have all the full sections installed and the custom cut made as well. Each
full section has a pilot hole at the top between the rst and second screw. Follow these steps to ensure
your fence is latched properly:
Using your 1/8" drill bit, carefully drill out the pilot hole and slightly bevel the hole. Fig. 31
Screw one screw eye into each hole on opposing sections. Fig. 32
Squeeze the poles and clip the double hasp latch on to either screw eye. Fig. 33
Follow these steps for each section connection
.
Put the removable screw eye in rst, as shown to the
right in Fig. 32. Use the latch for leverage. Then
disconnect the latch from the screw eye and turn the
other screw eye in using the latch for leverage. Make sure
both screw eyes are tightened until there are no visible
threads.
Using your 1/8" drill bit remember to slightly bevel the
hole so the screw eye will thread easily but snugly. You
only have to drill through the pilot hole and bevel.
The fence works on tension so you must squeeze the poles together
in order to connect the latch to the screw eye. (TIP) Before you
squeeze the poles together make sure that the poles are straight.
The tension of the fence will want to twist the poles away from each
other. Once you have twisted the poles as straight as you can, grab
one pole and lock it between your thumb and palm by squeezing it
tightly. This will help prevent the poles from twisting away from
each other when you squeeze them to connect the latch.
