A bit over-priced, but as advertised. The set up is not difficult - after you have the holes drilled for the posts. The latching hooks are a bit tricky, seems like they could have used a simpler, easier to latch hook mechanism. Looks very nice, pulls taut if you install correctly and is easy to cut/adjust the size based on your pool/yard dimensions.

I ordered 7 of these, open box. All came in great condition but the packaging was damaged. Two of the units were missing the plastic sleeves that the poles go into but Amazon gave me a refund on them. I had them installed so can't comment on ease of installation. I also ordered a self closing gate of the same brand and so far I'm happy with both. We will have to see how it holds up in AZ heat, will update this review after summer.

I needed exactly 12 feet to complete my fence. This was just enough and it was also priced pretty well. The rest of my fence is the larger diameter pole and is made by protect a child or something like that. It has an aluminum tube with fiberglass core. Very secure. These on the other hand use the smaller diameter post and sleeve. I am not going to deliberately throw myself into the fence to test its strength but it seems sturdy - the purpose is to protect your child from a pool, not a 6'3 230lb man. The template is helpful as well. Made drilling my holes a breeze. Hardware included seems quality as well. If I needed more I would purchase again. I will say, somewhere on the amazon listing I read that it was made in the USA. Clearly stated on the box it says Made in China. I didnt look for it again but I think the seller/amazon should correct that as it does matter to many buyers.

We ordered (12) sections of this fence, the drill guide and (2) premium self-closing gates. You can do this if: 1. You have two people. It’s much simpler with help and for concurrent verification. Using effective communication results in the proper lean of holes. Think “measure twice, drill once” right? 2. Use the guides! Having so many (one with each section) made layout easier! 3. Go to Harbor Freight and purchase the Bauer 1” SDS hammer drill or larger! We burnt up our Ryobi SDS+ 18V hammer drill attempting SO many holes. You can get a quality Bosch 5/8”X18” SDS+ hammer drill bit at Home Depot. SDS and SDS+ bits are interchangeable. Let the hammer drill do the work, cause you’ll wear yourself out pushing it; just let it eat! I’m now SOLD on Bauer electric tools from Harbor Freight!!

I just installed this fence. I thought it would be easy... turns out that it was unbelievably easy. I didn't get the guide because I'm cheap. I used a bullet level and a 14"drill bit, set up the bit so it was plumb(ish), and drilled away, trying to make it as straight as possible. This worked ok. Some of the pegs are slightly crooked, but not noticeable unless someone is being nitpicky about it. If you don't have someone to help you, and if you are doing a long stretch and doing corners and stuff, save yourself the trouble and get the guide. My area was small, so I only had to drill 10 holes to install 24' of fence. One side butted up to a block wall, the other side butted up to the aluminum framing of the screened pool cage. I was able to use 1" EMT conduit straps with appropriate hardware to secure these ends (sold separately). You can use it without the gate. There are instructions within the installation instructions that tell you how to do this. However, I just went one peg back from the end, drilled a hole, and am able to roll up that section and insert into the hole. You'll understand what I mean if you read through the instructions. A regular HAMMER drill worked fine--but as I said before, I only had to drill 10 holes. I bought a rotary hammer with a drill function specifically for this project, but didn't realize that it needed special SDS bits. Regular masonry bits wouldn't fit into the chuck. You may want to check on this before going out and buying a rotary hammer drill for this project. Unless you have a lot of holes to drill, a hammer drill will work just fine. The instructions weren't great, but if you have any handy skills whatsoever, it's not a difficult install. I'm not completely confident that it will hold up to the elements, but I think that's something time will tell. I did read some comments that said it was "flimsy" or "cheap". If you set it up right and tight, it looks pretty sturdy. The fact that it doesn't have a toprail makes it both easy to store/ship, and difficult to climb. It's not going to keep trespassers off your property, but it oughta keep your kid busy trying to climb it long enough for you to catch him/her.
