Pool Fence DIY by Life Saver Fencing Section Kit, 4 x 12-Feet, Black

The media could not be loaded. I love the way my pool fence came out. Everything fit into place perfectly and the fence is sturdy and taut. My child will not be able to get through. I have seen some negative reviews about the fence sturdiness or the drill guide being ineffective, but I can only assume these folks didn’t properly follow instructions. The drill guide is an absolute must have for this install. Don’t try to make your own or go freehand. You need to be able to drill holes with the proper light or heavy lean in order for the fence posts to come out correctly. Follow the instructions provided, they are well written and vital. People complained about the drill guide wing nuts coming loose during use, but you can tighten the wing nuts with an Allen wrench, and I had no problems with them coming loose. I had to drill 46 holes and it lasted. You won’t be able to use the guide for much else afterward, but you need it for this job imo. Get a high powered hammer drill (with extra batteries if going cordless) and good quality drill bits. You’ll need multiple bits if drilling lots of holes (maybe a new bit every 10 holes) into concrete/rebar. I drilled through flagstone/concrete/rebar. Dribble water onto the hole as you’re drilling to avoid stone from splitting. I also chose to skip the gate as you can just open one of the panels and stick it into a layback hole for when the pool is in use, so I can’t speak to the gate quality or ease of installation. I’m happy with no gate though.Overall, if you can follow instructions and have the strength to drill the holes, then you can do this job and I would recommend this pool fence and drill guide.

We bought this over 5 years ago to create a portable solution around our pool and we're still using it. It's easy to put up and take down and keeps the littles near the action but safe. We love it.

We received quotes for over $1,000 to have this same thing "professionally installed," and did it ourselves for less than $200 in about an hour and a half.

Looked great. Very sturdy.I had to return but not because of the gate.

Very easy to put together and looks nice. Good quality.

This is a great deal quality product way cheaper that having a fence company do it. Directions are very clear. Installed 8 panels in half a day

The media could not be loaded. I highly recommend this product.. most of the reviews I saw were based on an inground pool with a concrete deck, but there was one review that we kind of mimic and it was a wood deck, and the gentleman put a 4 x 4 block piece of wood up underneath the deck so that is exactly what we did and it turned out amazing.

**UPDATE** I contacted Pool Fence DIY directly and they sent me a new section of fence for free to replace the gate. Until my daughter is old enough to behave, I will be cutting a fence section to fit the gate slot and will reinstall the gate in a few years. This review should have gone on the gate segment product page, but if you are buying the gate, you are also buying this fence, so I will let it stand.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I bought this fence in 2019 when my wife and I bought a house with a pool. We weren't looking for a pool, but we decided the house was worth the hassle of the pool. I did some research and found this fence consistently well reviewed and decided to buy it. I installed it in October of 19 and haven't had any issues until today (as others have mentioned, buy the drill guide and borrow a rotary hammer from someone, makes this waaaaaaay easier). That said, my two-year-old defeated this fence.My son is 4 and my daughter is 27 months. My son knows not to go in the pool and hasn't ever tried to defeat the fence (to my knowledge). My kids and I were in the backyard, but I was about 100 feet away picking up some toys when I looked over and saw her with a pool skimmer trying to clean the pool. I sprinted over, unlocked the gate, and got her out. I asked her how she got in and she said "I CLIMB DADDY!!!"So yeah, I am not pleased with this. Up until now, the fence has apparently been giving me a false sense of security. After some experimentation, I got to watch how she did it. She grabbed the post for the gate segment of the fence and scaled it like she was climbing a gutter downspout in a James Bond flick. Yes, my my daughter is pretty agile, and might even be part monkey, but this is a pretty serious flaw.If you have kids that are adventurous, this fence WILL NOT keep them out of the pool. I am not sure what to do now.
