WaterWarden Pool Safety Fence 4' x 12', UL Certified to ASTM F2286 Safety Standards, Removable, Easy DIY Installation, Black Protective Mesh Netting with Black Frames

**this particular unit is 12 feet. some of the others are 10 feet. if you want to save $, get the 12 footers. they appear to be the same, if not a little taller and you will end up saving $ by not having to buy as many panels.**we just bought a house that had an inground pool. we have a toddler and needed a fence asap! i did some research and found these her on Amazon. shipping was a little slow and was horribly packaged. the ends of pretty much every single box was open when it arrived. somehow none of the parts managed to get lost.you just have to take your time to map out how you will install the fence. i didnt want to alter any of the panels so i measured and adjusted so that each panel used would be complete. it definitely takes two people to do this and a good size measuring tape helps. we used a 25' tape. if you really have the time, using string would help as well.i HIGHLY suggest you get the drilling guide. you can rent it for free (pay for shipping) from one of the vendors here on Amazon. with like a $350 deposit, which they refunded when they got the guide back. it helps with ensuring that you're drilling at the proper angles.as the old saying goes, measure twice, cut (drill) once. take your time so you dont end up drilling extra holes by accident.i did drill some extra holes next to the fence where we access the pool. this is so you can open the fence panel and put the "stake" into the extra hole, so its not just dangling there. looks nicer and less wear and tear on the panel.its been working great. it also helps keep the leaves out of the pool when its really windy which our pool man appreciates. it definitely feels like quality material and should last long enough till we dont need it any more; when our baby is old enough to understand pool safety.we ended up having one extra panel which amazon took back no problem.

I needed a pool barrier to pass my pool inspection and came across this as an option. I am building a 1.5m home on the water and I didn't want it to look 'cheesy' but needed something fast as my fencing contractor couldn't finish the fence prior to completion of the home - and the lack of pool barrier was going to delay moving in. I found this on Amazon and decided to give it a shot. It took about 45 minutes to install - even drilling it into thick pavers around the pool. The barrier is sturdy and looks good - even though I typically hate the look of these type barriers. What is best is the county pool inspector came to inspect - he walked up, viewed the barrier, and turned around and said "you passed!" He said this makes things easy because you don't have to put up all the pool alarms etc that are typically associated with fences around the yard and pool. Bottom line, give this a shot....I am a picky buyer and if it satisfies me, it should satisfy just about anyone.

We bought this fence a few months back but didn't install it until recently. Some of the installation videos we watched on youtube suggested we might want a core drill instead of an ordinary one, and we couldn't figure out whether to buy or rent that or whether buy or rent an ordinary rotary hammer drill, and how to drill straight holes. In the end, we went with what the fence installation instructions said and bought the WaterWarden drill guide and a rotary hammer with a 18" drill bit:https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VQDZSI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012DQX5U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WI4236/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The rotary hammer was quite sufficient, maybe a minute of drilling time per hole.The plastic sleeves that hold the fence were easy to insert into the holes with a mallet.The fence itself is not as easy to put up and take down as their video makes you believe. Once the sleeves are in the concrete, the fence no longer slides in easily, and even less so when there's tension on it. I had to use a mallet on most of the fence posts to get them all the way in, and taking them out also requires some force. Not impossible, but not something you'd want to do every weekend or whenever you want to increase your porch space.To save money, we bought the drill guide and the fence itself used, and the rotary hammer is also factory reconditioned. For the most part, we're happy with that decision. Amazon's description said the product would be complete, but about half of the fence boxes were missing hardware: The plastic sleeves themselves that you put in the concrete were there but the little plastic caps you're supposed to put on them if/when you remove the fence were missing. Also, one of the fence pieces had both outer fence posts broken, but we were able to use that piece anyway since we needed a shorter fence piece by the gate.Considering the steep discount for the used fence pieces, I think this was a worthwhile purchase. At the full price, I can't give more then 3 stars for "value-for-the-money" though.
