I was also thinking that it would be nice if they made some sort of black plastic sleeve to put over the posts. I'm assuming painting them black wouldn't last very long. Maybe I should just pull out the fence posts and install all new. I guess I'd need to buy a fence stretcher.

Stupid question: Do pool chemical fumes contribute to the rust on a surrounding fence? Just wondering if I put up a whole new chain link fence if its just going to rust again because its next to a pool.
