I had the mesh safety fence installed around my pool. I user it during the swimming season as I have a safety cover installed in the off season. I like that it is really easy to remove. It takes me about 20 minutes to remove, bundle and store. Setup is just as quick.
The fence is installed in the pool deck and yard behind the pool. The deck installation was done by drilling holes and inserting a sleeve. The yard installation was accomplished by digging a 12" hole, dumping a little concrete and inserting a section of 3/4" pvc as a sleeve.
It is a job a do-it-yourselfer could accomplish with attention to detail. The placement of the holes is critical to ensure the fence is straight and tight. A little deviation can lead to bent poles on installation.
I've had it almost two years. It has been installed over two swim seasons. It seams very durable. I haven't noticed any degradation in the material yet.
I would recommend it if the installation costs aren't exorbitant as you can pick up the panels at a lot of pool stores.
Although nicer than chain link it is not as pleasing as iron fencing. But, it has the advantage of removability.
