SAFETY FENCE
Installation Manual
Read through these instructions carefully and completely
before you begin drilling.
Detailed instructions for curved or free-form installation
can be found on Page 4.
LIST OF COMPONENTS:
• Drilling Template “A” (printed on inside of carton)
• WaterWarden safety fence section (Fig. 1)
• Plastic Feet (Fig. 2)
• Plastic Caps (Fig. 3)
• Safety Latch (Fig. 4)
• Rubber Heads for poles (Fig. 5)
LIST OF TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION:
• Utility knife or box cutter
• Rotary hammer drill
•
5/8” SDS masonry drill bit [If using a drilling guide, a 5/8” x 18”
masonry drill bit is needed]
• ¼” phillips head bit
• Extension cord (if necessary)
• Measuring tape
• Chalk line or white chalk
• Pencil or white chalk
• Hammer or rubber mallet
• Square and level or drilling guide (available for rental from
dealer where fence was purchased)
• PVC glue
INSTALLATION:
1.Locate Drilling Template “A” on inside flap of the Pool
Fence carton (“A”). Carefully cut out the Drilling
Template with utility knife or box cutter. Puncture spots
marked “B”, “C” and “D” .
2. Snap a chalk line around the perimeter of the pool, 24”
from pool edge.
3. Decide where the opening of your pool fence will be.
Mark “X” on the pool deck with chalk for placement of
initial pole. See (Fig. 1).
4. If you have purchased a separate Gate for your pool fence,
that must be installed first. Please see special instructions
included with the Gate, for Gate installation. If you will be
using the join of two sections as the opening for your Water-
Warden safety fence, continue with the following.
5. Place Drilling Template on pool surround, carefully aligning
spot “D” with the chalk mark “X”. Check to make sure that the
template is straight and aligned with the chalk line, and that
spots marked “B” and “C” are also 24” from pool edge.
Insuring that template does not move, drill through spots
marked “B”, “C” and “D”. All holes should be drilled to a
depth of 4”, and at a direct 90º angle to the deck. (Please note,
the spots marked “C” and “D” is where the opening of your
pool fence will be. The two poles that fit into these holes will
be joined with a “Safety Latch”.)
6. Continue around the entire pool, drilling holes while using the
Drilling Template for guidance. Place spot marked “B” over
the hole on the far right (last hole drilled). Drill through spot
marked “C”. Proceed around the perimeter of the entire pool,
always placing the spot marked “B” over the last hole drilled,
and ensuring that spot marked “C” is 24” from pool edge.
Keep drilling the new hole through the spot marked “C”. Every
12 feet (or at the end of each section), you must also drill
through spot marked “D”, to accommodate the pole of the
new section.
7. When you come to a corner of the pool, it is not recommen-
ded that you design 90º corners within one fence section.
Always use two smaller sections to meet at the corner (see #8
below for instructions on cutting down a fence section). Drill
the two corner holes at a 5º angle away from each other (use
a square and level to measure the angles before drilling, or
use the drilling guide available for rent from dealer where the
fence was purchased.)
8. To cut down a fence section to create a smaller panel, follow
the steps below:
• IMPORTANT: Lay out mesh on flat surface, ensuring that
mesh is tight and straight in all directions.
• Decide the width of the custom panel. Add four inches to
your measurement prior to cutting.
• Using scissors or utility knife, cut mesh of panel to
determined width.
