The Life Saver Safety Fence System
Be an Educated Consumer
Since not all requirements are the same, we have developed the option system to let you customize
your new fence to meet your specific needs. Life Saver provides you with over 50 different styles of
fence to choose from.
Our standard product is Black Safety Mesh, 4 feet (48 inches) high, utilizing reinforced standard
aluminum support poles. This model fence is manufactured with an industry standard of 30 inches
between support poles. It is our standard and most popular model of fence. The 30 inch support
pole spacing not only adds to the safety and strength of the fence, but also provides more control
for fence turns and free form type installations. The 4 foot height is used as the standard for US
Consumer Product Safety Commission recommendations for pool safety fencing. It is also the height
required by most states and counties that have passed laws requiring pool isolation barriers for child
safety.
Support pole spacing on a straight run of fencing (such as between two walls) is of relatively little
importance. Both the 30 and 36 inch models will provide almost the same strength and safety
factors for all heights of fence. It is suggested on open free form pool installations that 36 inch pole
spacing be restricted to the 3 1/2 foot (42 inch) high fence models; 4 foot high and up models
should be selected with the 30 inch support pole spacing.
QUAD-X core aluminum poles are stronger than standard fiber reinforced aluminum poles and
should always be considered over standard aluminum where pole breakage or abuse is highly likely.
Options for different mesh colors, pole colors, alternative border trims, etc. are all intended to
accommodate individual tastes or preferences in the pool fence’s appearance.

General Description
Life Saver’s pool fence is a removable mesh pool fence designed specifically to provide a
barrier around residential swimming pools for toddlers and young children. The fence is
installed in sections to provide convenience for easy removal and reinstallation by you, the
homeowner. Available in 42, 48, or 60 inch heights.
The System
Our tension based system utilizes a series of 15 foot sections of fence with inserts for
mounting in non-conducting polypropylene sleeves core drilled 4 inches deep into a
concrete deck or other substantial surface, connected in series at the top with 2 1/2 inch
nickel-plated brass safety hooks with stainless springs. What does this mean to you? The
fence remains sturdy by tension supplied from reinforced aluminum poles that slip into your
deck. Pool fencing can be installed in almost any type of deck.
Lifetime Warranty
Life Saver Pool Fence has a Lifetime Warranty on every part of the pool
fence against any manufacturer's defect. No legitimate warranty claim has
ever been denied. In the unlikely event that you have any problem for as
long as you own your pool fence, we guarantee your complete satisfaction.
And since we've been in business for over 20 years, you can be assured
that we'll be around to help you years down the road. Be sure your pool
fence has a Lifetime Warranty.
Mesh
Life Saver pool fence is constructed with a polyester mesh fabric utilizing a mildew resistant
polyvinyl coating that provides years of use in the harshest sunlight. It’s woven with a
continuous basket weave that boasts an incredible tensile strength rating of 270 lbs. per
inch making it impossible to rip under normal use. The mesh comes in black, white, beige, or
green. Bordered on all four sides by a reinforced vinyl material with a rating of 387 lbs., the
fence is kept from sagging and the necessary tension is maintained throughout at the top
and bottom. The border can be considered the most critical part of the pool fence. All
border is QuadStitched with the strongest marine thread to allow for years of abuse from
direct sunlight and the elements. Be sure your pool fence has four stitches in the border.
The finished mesh is securely mounted on aluminum poles and reinforced with aluminum
cove molding strips attached to each pole.
Support Poles
Poles are constructed of aluminum and can come in either black powder
coated, white powder coated, green powder coated, tan powder coated, or
silver mill finish. Independent testing in the United States and France have
shown our QUAD-X core aluminum poles to offer far more strength than is
required by strict local ordinances around the world. Pole spacing is optional
at either 30 or 36 inches. Be sure your pool fence has QUAD-X Poles.
Round head stainless steel screws are utilized for securely attaching the aluminum cove
molding to the poles and mesh. Round screws are less likely than hexagon shaped screws
to cause abrasions. Be sure your pool fence has round screws.
Standard sections supplied are 15 feet making it easy for you to remove and reinstall the
fence. A standard section weighs only 14 lbs. The poles’ surfaces are finished for handling
and to prevent injuries from physical contact, and all poles are capped to provide a neat
finished appearance. Each aluminum cove molding strip is rounded down. Be sure your pool
fence has no sharp parts.
Gate Options
The most recent upgrade to the Life Saver
Pool Fence, the Snap Latch, is a break-
through in high quality pool fencing. This
new latch is nickel-plated
with a stainless steel spring, guaranteeing
that it will never rust, corrode, tarnish, or
deteriorate in any fashion. As with all
parts of the Life Saver Pool Fence, the
Snap Latch is covered by our Lifetime
Warranty.
The Snap Latch is the first pool fence latch that can be used by both right and left-handed
parents. There are no sharp hooks or points to hurt you or your child. It's the safest
latching system anywhere. Be sure your pool fence has a nickel-plated Snap Latch.
Self-Closing, Self-Latching Gate
We also offer a self-closing, self-latching gate.

Closing, Self-Latching Gate.
Ground Caps
Plastic sleeves are inserted into the ground at the end of the installation process so that your
aluminum poles have the best fit and will easily slide in and out if you decide to remove the
fence when children are not going to be present. Ground caps fit into the sleeve to keep debris
from the holes and provide an attractive covering. Our ground caps feature super-hard plastic
and a broad top, completely covering the black sleeve. Each cap is infused with a special UV
inhibitor so they'll never crack or deteriorate outside
