It has been three years since I installed this pool fence. It is held up well in the sunlight and with kids playing next to it. I’m happy to report. It has not needed any repairs or adjustments. I wanted to provide feedback in case anyone else was wondering how long these things would last.
Is it solid if kids lean on it??
@raulmartinez7233 yes, the main purpose of this is to keep the kids out. It’s a kids safety fence and engineered as such.
Thanks for the detailed and awesome instructions.
Was it necessary to drill down that deep? Look like you went more than 10 inches. I wonder if 4-6 inches would be sufficient.
You’re correct. You can drill less than what I did. The manual states
Exact depth needed. It’s just hard to keep track of every detail, film the process, and also get it done in a timely manner :)
Hi great video! I’m planning to install this around my pool as well. I dont have patio around my pool, instead I have a 1/2 inch pebble bed. Do you think I could install this using the copper tubing directly in the pebbles? Thanks,
Yes. In some ways it would be a lot easier then drilling. But it might have its own challenges. I’d be more careful of underground pool pipes bc you’ll likely end up pounding them in pretty deep to support the poles well. I’d pound an oversize copper pipe as far as u safely can. Then trim off the top nicely to accept the sleeve and pole. U may want to dig a bit and pour concrete around any of them that aren’t holding strong enough. Def doable but different challenge then drilling into concrete.
Great video, appreciate it.
Are you able to shorten the a section so it can go around certain turns i have?
Yes. I shorten the last two sections against the fence and the wall and customize them to the link that I wanted.
Nice job! What length of L copper pipes are you using for in ground installation?
Great video! Any idea of how I would anchor the ends of the pool fence to an aluminum linai?
Yes. You would refer to the instruction manuals I have listed in the video description. They have advice on how to interconnect to walls, fences, etc. basically you’d use the included hardware and drill small holes the pole or the lenai or self tapping screws. It needs to be very secure so a no doesn’t slip between the two. Like I did in the video to the wood fence.
Thanks for the video... would a child be able to pull up the bottom of the fence to crawl underneath it?
No. You can barely get a few fingers under it. Very taught.
Thanks for all the help. For the first and last hole, do you still lean it? I'm doing it similar to you where the post starts and ends attached to a structure not another pool fence pole. For the first and last ones I don't have three poles I can draw a triangle to determine my lean. I didn't see any of this mentioned in the guide. Did you consider this issue? What did you do for yours?
So let’s look at it this way. The point of the lien is to make the top section of the flexible fence material taught. It looks nicer this way. You don’t have to do this, but I suggest you do. Therefore, I would lean the first and last polls against the structure or the fence that you will be attaching it to. Figure 17 of the user manual talks a little bit more about the purpose of the lean. Also, I think you could get the first and last ones totally wrong and you would still be happy. It is the ones in between that will matter most to you. They also have a phone number if you want to call and ask for their advice which is 561-316-6418 www.dropbox.com/sh/v69vpk6qaf4imu6/AABQ10bglZb0mw_uvX9KtBZ0a/English%20Instructions/Fence%20Instructions?dl=0&preview=1.Pool+Fence+DIY+Install+Guide.pdf&subfolder_nav_tracking=1
I just bought this same fence. In the last 30 seconds of your video, i see you installing the gate. How did everything go when drilling the gate holes with the lean towards the center of the gate? I feel like the plastic sleeves wouldn't lay flush on the ground doing that.
It went fine. I took a video closeup or this area. If you email me I can send ya the clip of the plastic sleeves and what it looks like. My email is in the about section of the channel.
@fixitwithjake I looked in your about section, but did not see the email.
Thanks for the video but there’s no info on how to shorten a section of a fence panel. Sometimes the fencing required is exactly in multiples of the panel sizes
In the video description, there should be the user manual for all of the fence components. They explain how to shorten a piece in there. I did it on one piece. Basically you cut it to the size you need with scissors remove three or four Phillips screws on one of the polls sandwich it back in there and put the screws back on. Obviously it’s a bit more complex than this but that’s the basic concept and shortening the length. It’s not a big deal.
Thinking about getting a similar fence, we are in the south so we do experience freezing, was worried that if it rained and the holes held water and it froze of it would bust the pool deck surface it being concrete and all. Any insight into that or if you have experienced something similar? Thanks!
We don't get a hard freeze here. But people from all over the USA have this fence. So it would be best to check the FB groups and Amazon reviews to see what people report. Also, can you see if anyone in your town also has them?
Thank you! How long did you cut the copper pieces that you hammered into the ground? I was thinking 18-24”
I can’t remember how long. Pretty long! It will depend on your soil type. www.dropbox.com/sh/v69vpk6qaf4imu6/AABQ10bglZb0mw_uvX9KtBZ0a/English%20Instructions/Fence%20Instructions?dl=0&preview=4.Pool+Fence+DIY+Dirt+Install.pdf&subfolder_nav_tracking=1
Great video. 👍 very informative
How deep of holes are you digging?
The user manual says exactly and it’s controlled by the drilling guide I used in the video. It very deep at all but can’t remember what they recommend. Enough for the sleeve that the pole goes into and that’s it. Any deeper and you risk hitting a pipe or something else so def use a drill
Guide to limit the drilling depth. Good question!
