Planning: Layout Your Pool Fence
Planning is the first step of any successful
project. Decide where you would like your
fence to surround; the recommended distance
to stay from the edge of the pool is 2 feet or
more. Never plan to run your fence within
8 inches of poolside.
While planning your fence, make sure no
other activity other than the pool is within the
protected area. Children should never need to
enter the pool fence area other than to swim
when properly supervised. If toys and other
objects are stored within the protected area
move the storage area.
Take a thick rope, garden hose or other
similar object and place it on the intended
path of the fence. Step back and look; ask yourself is there anything on the inside of the fence
that will attract my child? Will I have enough room to move around to clean my pool? Mark the
beginning and ending points of the fence of your rope or hose. Pull the hose straight and use a
tape measure to measure from the marked beginning point to the ending point.
Entryway
Planning your entryway is an important step that should be taken in consideration prior to de-
ciding how many fence sections, ground sleeves, and poles are needed. Our fence does not
come with a hinged gate, it can be purchased separately. An opening on our fence is where two
sections of fencing meet. When two sections of fence meet there will be two poles next to one
another connected by a spring loaded spring-loaded hook and eye. To enter the pool area you
would follow the same procedure as you would if you were removing the fence; unhook the
spring-loaded hook and eye and remove the first pole of the section from the hole. Now you can
either role that pole along the mesh to the next pole in the section and place it in a set back hole
or pull the pole back at an angle away from the fence and place it in a set back hole. You can
create as many openings as you would like, the fence will remain taught and secure.
We recommend the design of the opening be either 3 or 6 feet wide and should be located
near the steps or where you would naturally enter the pool.
