    I designed and built my own fence and gate--and it was approved by my town both in my design and after completion. The keys were:
    1) 4' high
    2) No gap on the bottom
    3) only verticals from the outside
    4) verticals are <4" apart.

    The gate is even tighter--the verticals are 1.75" apart. It uses Magna Latch self-closing hinges and a MagnaLatch that is about 5' off the ground. I don't know if I can post a picture but I'll try--at least a link.

    Default I should have been more specific...

    I am looking for a removable fence so I can open up the pool area/backyard for swimming but put back up so my kids can't enter the pool. The pool/backyard is already fenced in. I like the how my pool is visible from all of the backyard (picture attached) and I don't want to hide it behind a semi-solid fence.

    You mentioned magna latch... I looking for something like this for the screen doors on my patio. An automatically closing latch the kids can't reach. Is ther such a beast?

    Carl - it was leejp's pic that wasn't attached. Did you think I meant yours? He edited his post and now his pic is attached. Thought maybe I had confused you with my post.
