A secure pool fence starts with a carefully planned layout and precise installation. At About Safety Pool Fence & Nets, we bring more than 25 years of experience to every project, helping homeowners choose a practical fence layout that works with their pool, patio and everyday routine.
We install removable mesh pool fences throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and the Florida Keys. A typical installation takes approximately four hours, from planning the layout through final cleanup and a demonstration of how to use your fence.

We can begin with photos of your pool, review the property using Google Earth when suitable imagery is available, or arrange a scheduled visit.
We listen to how you use the pool and consider the available deck space, narrow areas beside the house, shallow and deep ends, beach entries, raised spas and swimouts. Based on your priorities and our installation experience, we recommend a layout that balances safety, convenient access and usable patio space.
Where the deck allows, we generally recommend placing the fence approximately 24 inches—2 feet—from the water’s edge. This provides working room for pool maintenance. The final layout must account for the property and applicable local pool barrier requirements.
Our standard pool fence is 48 inches high, with posts typically spaced approximately 3 feet apart, adjusted as needed for the layout.
We use a specialized core drill with a diamond bit to create uniform holes for the deck sleeves. Water cools the bit and captures drilling dust as slurry, greatly reducing airborne dust. The equipment also allows us to adjust the drilling angle so the posts sit in the correct position and the fence maintains its intended alignment and tension.
Porcelain is particularly hard and may require additional drilling time.
Watch our wet core drilling and sleeve installation video below.
Concrete decks and properly installed surfaces over a solid concrete slab provide a firm foundation for the fence.
For pavers, travertine or marble installed over sand, stability depends on the condition of the deck and its supporting base. Many installations need no additional reinforcement. However, movement beneath the pavers can eventually affect post alignment and reduce mesh tension. If reinforcement is needed, we can evaluate the affected areas and recommend a repair.
Watch how we reinforce and repair a pool fence on pavers over sand.
Deck sleeves separate the aluminum posts from the surrounding deck material and provide a close, controlled fit. We carefully fit and align the posts to achieve the required fence tension while considering how often you expect to remove and reinstall the fence. Safety remains the priority throughout the installation.
The fence sections connect using marine-grade stainless-steel safety hooks. Where compatible with the hardware, small padlocks can provide an additional way to secure the connections.

The standard manual opening uses a section of the fence itself. To open it, you release the connecting hook and remove the designated post. Two additional deck holes provide a place to position the post while that section is open.
For more convenient access, a self-closing, self-latching pool gate can be added. On decks installed over sand, the gate may require concrete footers to provide a stable base and maintain proper alignment.
Confirm the required access configuration with your local building department when planning an inspection. Explore our South Florida service areas and city guides for local planning information.
A typical pool fence installation takes approximately four hours, including layout, drilling, assembly, cleanup and the final demonstration. Larger layouts, porcelain surfaces, concrete reinforcement, difficult access or other site conditions may require additional time. We discuss any special installation needs when reviewing your project.
Wet core drilling produces a mixture of water and fine drilling residue. We clean this slurry as the work progresses so the area is generally clean by the time the installation is complete.
Decks with poor drainage or porous surfaces exposed to strong sun may retain some residue and require additional rinsing after our visit. We will explain any follow-up cleaning needed for your deck.
Before finishing, we check the fence alignment, mesh tension, section connections and access opening. If a self-closing gate is installed, we also check its closing and latching operation.
We show you how to:
Please provide access to the property, a working water supply and an electrical outlet. Keep dogs and other pets secured away from the work area. Furniture usually does not need to be moved, although we may ask for clearance where drilling or access requires it.
You generally do not need to remain home throughout the installation. We can discuss questions and confirm details by phone, text, photos or video call. If you will be away, we coordinate the layout and access arrangements with you beforehand.

We use a core drill with a diamond bit to create clean, precise holes for the pool fence sleeves. Water cools the bit and keeps drilling dust under control for a cleaner installation.

Choose a pool fence color that complements your outdoor space. Our standard all-black fence offers a clean look and excellent visibility through the mesh. Black mesh with white posts and borders is also available. Brown, gray and beige are premium colors that may have an additional cost and require a special order.

Since 1999, About Safety Pool Fence & Nets has helped homeowners, pool builders and contractors install reliable pool barriers throughout South Florida.
Whether you need a barrier for a new pool, an upcoming inspection, a code enforcement case, an insurance requirement or a rental property, our experienced team can recommend and install the right solution for your property.
The installations shown on our website represent only a small sample of the thousands of pool barrier projects we have completed for residential properties, contractors, Airbnb homes and long-term rental properties.
Every pool deck and property layout is different. Before installation, we evaluate the available deck space, pool shape, access points, gate location and existing surface.
Depending on the property and inspection requirements, we may recommend:
Our goal is to create a practical barrier that protects the pool area while preserving convenient access and the appearance of the property.
For properties in Miami-Dade County, review the Miami-Dade pool barrier requirements before planning a permit or inspection.
We have specialized in pool barriers since 1999 and have completed thousands of installations throughout South Florida. Our experience includes residential pools, waterfront properties, new construction, contractor projects, unusual deck layouts and corrections to previously installed barriers.
Can a pool fence be installed over pavers?
Yes, but pavers installed over sand may require reinforcement or concrete footers, especially around a self-closing gate.
Do I need a self-closing pool gate?
The required barrier configuration depends on the property and applicable inspection requirements. We can evaluate the layout and explain the available options.
Can you repair an existing pool fence?
Yes. We can evaluate leaning poles, loose sleeves, sagging mesh, damaged sections and gates that are no longer closing correctly.
Do you guarantee that my property will pass inspection?
Final approval always belongs to the applicable inspector or building department. We use our experience to identify common problems and install the selected barrier properly, but we cannot control the final decision of an inspector.
Need a pool barrier for an inspection, new pool, rental property, insurance requirement or code enforcement case? Call 786-251-3674 or send us photos of the pool area, your city and a brief explanation of what you need.
