Following the instructions to correctly install the No Holes Pool Fence® System is critical in ensuring the effectiveness of the system. An incorrect installation or any modification of the system can create an unsafe environment and void your manufacturer’s warranty.

The first and most important step in installing your fence is determining the layout. The No Holes Pool Fence® System is a tension-based system that must be connected to either itself or two stable structures. There are two types of installations:

Full Perimeter Layout

This is a layout that completely encircles the pool. A critical rule in this layout is that the No Holes Pool Fence® System is installed with at least 36 in of space between the edge of pool and the bases of the system.

Point-to-Point Layout

This layout connects the No Holes Pool Fence® System to two secure anchor points (e.g. an exterior wall of your home or a perimeter fence around your property). Three critical points for this type of layout:

1. Once installed this layout should prevent access to the pool from any door or window
2. The structures that the No Holes Pool Fence® System are connected to should be at least 4ft or taller in height and be secure enough to maintain the tension of the fence
3. The terminating poles must be connected to the fixed structures at both the top and bottom of the pole

A Full Perimeter Layout is designed to completely surround the pool area, creating a continuous barrier between the pool and the surrounding yard or home.

When installing the No Holes Pool Fence® System, maintaining a minimum distance of 36 inches (3 feet) from the edge of the pool is critical. This clearance provides adequate walkway space for everyday pool maintenance, such as skimming leaves, as well as safe entry and exit around the pool area.

Most importantly, the 36-inch clearance helps provide enough room around the pool in the event of an emergency.

OPTION 2

Sometimes a Full Perimeter Layout with 36 inches of space from the edge of pool isn’t possible or a Point-to-Point layout looks better or allows you to use more of the space. When installed correctly the Point-to-Point layout ensures your pool area is safe and secure.

Here are important requirements when installing your No Holes Pool Fence® System in a Point-to-Point Layout:

• Anchor Points: Both end point poles of the fence must be firmly secured to a permanent structure (e.g. an exterior wall of your home, a perimeter fence around your property or a patio column).
• Height Requirement: The permanent structure you connect to should be no less that 4 feet in height.
• Drilling is Mandatory: To secure your fence to the permanent structure you will need to drill into the surface in order to properly attach the fence to the structure. Using adhesives will not work to secure the fence to the permanent structure.
• Zero Unprotected Access Points: Since the Point-To-Point Layout doesn’t encircle the pool it is critical that all access points to the pool be covered. All doors from the house, side yard gates, windows, sliding doors or walls less than 4 feet in height should be covered by the Point-to-Point layout you use. Leaving any access points uncovered is unsafe and should be corrected immediately.

Assume that your child will actively try to get around the fence. Children have no fear and are drawn to water. Assume a child will try to reach the water. Pool safety should never depend on a child’s ability to make safe choices.

The easiest way to measure for your fence if it’s not going in a straight line is to do it with a ball of string. Lay out the string where you plan your installation and then measure the string. If you have steps you installing on, measure each fence level separately. Our fence is provided in 3-foot sections. Ensure the fence is placed on a flat and level surface. If any part of the patio/installation area is sloped or contains a step, consult with your distributor before assembly.
