Child safety is a priority. With properly installed pool fencing, you can take control of a potential hazard on your property. As a very real threat, an unprotected pool can quickly become a drowning risk to toddlers, children and even pets.

To meet your family’s safety concerns, LifeFence.com is offering Sentry’s EZ-Guard pool fence product line. It comes in portable sections with poles pre-attached along with all the materials needed to easily construct your fence. The sections are either 12 feet long (for the 4’ tall) or 10 feet long (for the 5’ tall).

EZ-Guard is the new standard in safety. The stainless steel rods contained inside each pole is what makes EZ-Guard stand out from competitors. Unlike traditional aluminum poles, which can break after time or constant usage, stainless steel can be bent and straightened hundreds of times without worry about breakage. Also because of the stainless steel rods, the resulting drilled holes are smaller. When the fence is up, the holes are not visible giving a clean installed appearance. When the fence is down the holes can be capped (caps are included with your purchase).

Ours vs. Theirs
Traditionally, installers will use a few different styles of all aluminum poles with different reinforcement styles; and whether they are x reinforcements or tri-sections or any other style of aluminum reinforcement they all share a common flaw, they snap from impact or over time as one removes and reinserts the poles (i.e. when the fence is removed for storage, parties, winter, etc). This is because aluminum does not have the strength or resilience of solid stainless steel.

These breaks occur on the traditional poles where the pole meets the pool deck. Because of this known flaw in traditional installed pool fence, they can pose a danger to your family's safety. However at that same point where the pole meets the pool deck on the EZ-Guard poles you’ll find a half inch solid stainless steel rod, reinforced with PVC. Stainless steel can be bent and straightened hundreds of times without worry about breakage.

1. Select your preferred fence height /color
2. Enter the amount of feet you need.

What are my color choices?
The colors only apply to the lining and the poles, our mesh is Black. Black is the most transparent of the meshes. When light hits black mesh, no colors are reflected and therefore objects behind the mesh are visible.

Your color options for the lining and poles are: 4’ Black , 4’ Forest Brown , 4’ Desert Tan , 4’ Lanai White, and 5’ Black.

How many feet do I need?
The best way to plan your ordering quantities is by laying out your fence first. To do so take a hose, stand of yarn, rope, or anything else long and flexible and lay it out in the shape you wish your child safety pool fence to form. Take into account all the turns and curves the fence will make when using the flexibility of the measuring rope. Then mark a beginning and end point on the rope for the fence, if the fence makes a full circle the beginning and end will be next to one another. Lastly pull your rope straight and measure what the full distance of you child safety pool fence will be.

When planning to order, simply measure your intended fence line then enter the length on LifeFence.com in the quantity area of the shopping cart, add any extras you may want (the fencing kit itself is complete with all the poles, sleeves, caps, and hook and eyes for basic installation) and LifeFence.com will take care of the rest.

What are the materials?
The child safety fence poles are completely rust proof. The outside layer is durable baked-on TGIC powder coat finish aluminum, followed by a PVC insert spanning approximately halfway up the pole, and finished with a stainless steel rod that goes in the ground. Where the pole meets the ground is the focal point for all child safety fence poles, meaning if force is exerted on the pole that point is where the force will have the most impact. In fact, the poles can withstand 200 lbs. of pressure. You can rest assured you have the toughest child safety fence around because at that ground point contains aluminum, PVC and a rod of solid stainless steel, making all three the strongest combination available. Sentry’s EZ-Guard pole design also means smaller holes and less of a scar on the face of your pool deck.

Each child safety EZ-Guard pool fence pole comes topped with an EZ-Grip rubber cap. Not only is it a durable top to protect the finish of your pole when the child safety pool fence is laid down but it also gives you an EZ gripping point to squeeze the poles together and release the tension so you can unhook your hook and eyes. Our child safety pool fencing is has absolutely no finger or toe holes for climbing and is also UV resistant to withstand the beating sun. The top and bottom come with double-side protection using multi-stitching of the fencing material. This works to prevent any possible threading of the fence at its edges.

a) You’ll order fence by the foot. Your fence will arrive in twelve-foot sections and if the length ordered is not a multiple of twelve the last section will be less than twelve. Example: If you were to purchase of 27 feet you would receive 2 twelve-foot sections and 1 three-foot section.

b) A pole comes pre-attached to every three feet of fence purchased for the 4 foot high or every two and a half feet for the 5 foot high fencing. You'll need to end your fence with a pole. If your end measurement is not a multiple of 3 than you would need to purchase an extra pole. Due to LifeFence.com’s easy ordering process, this extra pole will automatically be added to your shopping cart. Example: If you were to purchase 25 feet you would receive 2 twelve-foot sections and the first pole of the one-foot section. The second pole of the one-foot section would need to be purchased separately along with an extra ground sleeve.

c) Any section of fence can be easily and quickly altered to fit your pool or intended area to block off using a hex head screwdriver. You can add poles to make more changes in direction (you can change fence direction at every pole) or move poles to shorten sections with a simple 1, 2, 3 process:

1. Remove the backing of the pole that is sandwiching the mesh to the pole.
2. Move the pole over to where it is needed.
3. Re-sandwich the mesh between the pole and the backing and screw in the stainless steel screws.

c) If you are planning to go up stairs you will need two poles per every step, plastic ground sleeves for the poles and spring-loaded hook & eyes to connect the poles. Example: If you have your base level, one step, and the upper level you will need a pole at the edge of the upper level, 2 poles for the one step and a pole at the beginning of the base level. Then you will need two spring-loaded hook & eyes; one to connect the pole at the top level with the first step pole and the other to connect the pole at the end of the step with the base level pole. You will also need plastic sleeves to go with each extra pole. To purchase these additional items browse the accessories page.

d) If you are connecting to two walls or barriers instead of a full circle around the fence please order an extra hook & eye. Also if one of your sections is less than 12 feet you will need an extra hook and eye.

We have large amounts of EZ-Guard pool fence stock available and in most cases, we’ll ship the next business day after you order! This enables you to control the timeframe of when your pool fencing arrives and not having to negotiate with an installer’s schedule during peak times.

Even with this quick shipping process our suggestion is to plan ahead as far in advanced as possible. With LifeFence.com you can easily order your fencing materials and but delay the tool rental to show up at a later date when needed.

Why is this delay a good idea? Most people know well in advanced that their children will one day need protection from the pool or that they are moving to a new home with an unprotected pool. The fencing, even when in stock, can sometimes be subject to delays because of the nature of shipping it.

It usually comes shipped in multiple boxes, each of which can be heavy. This means express delivery will be out of most people's acceptable price range and the more packages the more chances for the delivery service to have one that becomes delayed or lost. The tools on the other hand are in one small box and can be shipped express if needed fairly easily, so getting the fence early and the tool(s) when needed is the smart way to go. Also if scheduling hired help, it is always best with any project to wait until you have all materials in hand prior to scheduling, this avoids having to reschedule or having them show before you are ready for them.

LifeFence.com is here to help you with your purchase, from ordering to installation just because it’s a DIY project doesn’t mean you’ll all on your own! We’d be happy to help you select your pool fence or answer any questions you may have; learn more about the variety of ways you can contact us.
