Baby Barrier Mid-Florida provides professional pool safety fence installation for homeowners, grandparents, vacation rental owners, property managers, and businesses throughout Mid Florida. Each removable mesh pool fence is custom planned around the pool, deck, access points, and everyday use of the property.
Our professionally installed system creates a physical barrier between children, pets, guests, and the pool area while maintaining visibility and convenient access for adults. A rigid, self-closing and self-latching gate is available for homeowners who want an automatic entrance into the protected pool area.
No pool fence replaces active adult supervision. However, a properly planned and installed fence can provide an important additional layer of protection by helping restrict unsupervised access to the water.
Why Choose a Removable Mesh Pool Fence?
A removable mesh fence provides a practical combination of safety, visibility, strength, and flexibility. Unlike a permanent wood, metal, or glass barrier, sections of the Baby Barrier® system can be removed when adults need additional access and securely reinstalled when the pool area needs to be protected.
Climb-Resistant, See-Through Mesh
The tightly woven mesh does not provide the horizontal footholds found on many traditional fences. Its see-through design also helps preserve the appearance of the pool area and allows adults to maintain a clear view of the water.
Removable Fence Sections
The pool fence is installed in fitted deck sleeves so individual sections can be removed when necessary. This can be useful when cleaning the pool deck, completing maintenance, moving large furniture, or preparing the area for an adult-only event.
When the pool is not actively being used, the sections should be returned to their proper positions and securely latched.
Self-Closing and Self-Latching Gate Option
The gate is one of the most frequently used parts of a pool barrier. Baby Barrier Mid-Florida offers a rigid, framed gate designed to close and latch automatically after an adult passes through it.
The independent frame does not rely solely on fence tension to remain aligned. The latch is positioned high on the gate to help place it beyond the reach of small children.

Designed for Florida Conditions
Baby Barrier® pool fencing uses reinforced aluminum poles, PVC-coated UV-resistant mesh, and corrosion-resistant hardware intended for outdoor use in Florida’s heat, humidity, sun, rain, and pool environment.

What to Expect During Pool Safety Fence Installation
Every property is different. Before installation begins, we evaluate the pool area and discuss how your family, guests, tenants, or property managers use the space. The objective is to create a fence layout that helps protect the pool without making normal adult access unnecessarily difficult.
- Review the pool area. We examine the pool, surrounding deck, screen enclosure, landscaping, doors, walkways, and other nearby structures.
- Discuss your access needs. We determine how adults normally enter the pool area and identify a convenient location for the gate or manual entrance.
- Measure the proposed fence line. The fence is planned to provide an appropriate barrier while making efficient use of the available deck space.
- Confirm the layout. We review the proposed fence location and entrance points with the property owner before drilling begins.
- Install the deck sleeves. Holes are carefully positioned and drilled so the support poles can be properly aligned and tensioned.
- Install and secure the fence. The removable mesh panels are fitted into the deck sleeves and connected to create a continuous barrier.
- Install and test the gate. When a framed gate is selected, we check its alignment and verify that it closes and latches properly.
- Explain operation and maintenance. We show the owner how to operate the gate and how to remove, store, and reinstall fence sections when needed.
Planning a Safe and Convenient Fence Layout
A pool safety fence should do more than follow the exact shape of the water. The best layout depends on the property and how the surrounding area is used.
During the planning process, we consider:
- The distance between the fence and the water
- Doors leading from the house or screen enclosure
- Primary walking paths around the pool
- Gate placement and opening direction
- Outdoor kitchens, patios, seating areas, and spas
- Steps, elevation changes, landscaping, and drainage
- Pool equipment and areas that require maintenance access
- Children, pets, visiting family members, and rental guests
Some homeowners want the fence to closely surround the pool. Others prefer to separate the pool from the house while leaving a larger portion of the patio available for everyday use. We will review the available options and help determine which arrangement makes the most sense for the property.
Professional Installation Versus a DIY Pool Fence
Pool fence installation requires more than placing poles around the pool. Incorrect measurements, poor hole placement, improper spacing, or inadequate tension can create unwanted gaps, an uneven fence line, or problems with gate operation.
Professional installation helps address:
- Accurate fence-line measurements
- Proper placement of deck holes and sleeves
- Consistent pole spacing and panel tension
- Changes in deck direction or elevation
- Appropriate gate placement
- Reliable self-closing and self-latching operation
- Clean installation around existing structures
Our installers work with removable mesh pool fencing regularly and understand the details required to create a clean, functional, and dependable finished installation.
What Affects the Cost of Pool Fence Installation?
The cost of a professionally installed pool fence depends on the individual property. Rather than providing a generic price that may not match the project, we review the pool area and prepare an estimate based on the actual installation.
Common pricing factors include:
- Total linear footage of fencing
- The number and type of entrances or gates
- The shape of the proposed fence line
- The pool deck material and condition
- Screen enclosures, structures, or other obstacles
- Changes in elevation or unusual installation conditions
- The location of the property
- Repair, removal, or replacement of an existing fence

Florida Residential Pool Barrier Requirements
When a residential pool barrier is used to satisfy Florida pool-safety requirements, the barrier generally must be at least four feet high on the outside and must not contain openings or structural components that would allow a young child to crawl under, squeeze through, or climb over it.
The barrier must also be positioned sufficiently away from the water’s edge. Gates providing access to the pool must open outward away from the pool, be self-closing, and include a self-latching locking device with the release mechanism positioned on the pool side so that it cannot be reached by a young child.
Requirements can vary depending on the property, age of the pool, construction project, local jurisdiction, and type of safety feature being used. Homeowners should confirm applicable requirements with their city or county building department.
Read more on our Florida pool fence requirements page or review Florida Statute 515.29.
Maintaining a Removable Mesh Pool Fence
A Baby Barrier® pool fence requires relatively little routine maintenance, but it should still be inspected regularly.
- Check all fence sections. Look for torn mesh, damaged poles, loose hardware, or connections that do not latch securely.
- Test the gate. Open the gate and verify that it closes completely and the latch engages without assistance.
- Keep deck sleeves clean. Dirt and debris inside the sleeves can make fence sections more difficult to remove and reinstall.
- Rinse the fence when needed. Remove dirt, pool chemicals, salt residue, pollen, and other outdoor buildup.
- Keep objects away from the fence. Furniture, toys, planters, and other items should not be placed where a child could use them to climb over the barrier.
- Request service when something changes. Contact us when a gate becomes misaligned, mesh is damaged, a pole is bent, or the pool area is remodeled.
For additional information, review our guide to common pool safety fence repairs.
A Pool Fence Is One Layer of Protection
A pool fence should be used together with other water-safety practices. The Florida Department of Health recommends multiple layers of protection rather than relying on a single device or safety measure.
- Maintain active adult supervision whenever children are near water.
- Keep the pool fence installed and securely latched when the pool is not in use.
- Use door, window, gate, or pool alarms where appropriate.
- Enroll children in age-appropriate swimming lessons.
- Have parents, caregivers, and property managers learn CPR.
- Remove toys and attractive objects from the pool area after use.
- Make sure all adults understand how the fence and gate operate.
No product can replace responsible supervision, but a properly installed pool fence can provide an important physical barrier as part of a broader safety plan.

Pool Safety Fence Installation FAQs
How long does it take to install a pool safety fence?
Installation time depends on the length of the fence, number of gates, pool layout, deck material, and other property conditions. We will explain the expected installation schedule after reviewing the project.
Can a pool fence be installed inside a screen enclosure?
Yes. Many Baby Barrier installations are completed inside screened pool enclosures. The final layout depends on the available deck space, doors, structural supports, walking paths, and access requirements.
Is the entire mesh pool fence removable?
The mesh fence sections are designed to be removable from their deck sleeves. This allows the owner to temporarily open part or all of the pool area when necessary. The fence should be properly reinstalled and latched whenever the barrier is needed.
Do I need a self-closing pool gate?
A rigid self-closing and self-latching gate provides convenient everyday access without requiring the homeowner to manually reconnect fence sections after each entry. The correct entrance depends on the property, budget, frequency of use, and applicable requirements.
Will a mesh fence block the view of my pool?
The black, see-through mesh is designed to maintain visibility of the pool area. Black mesh generally creates less glare and visual interruption than many lighter-colored materials.
Can a pool fence help keep pets away from the water?
A properly installed pool fence can help restrict access for many household pets. Effectiveness depends on the animal’s size, behavior, jumping ability, and whether it attempts to dig, climb, or push against barriers. Discuss your pet’s needs with us during the estimate.
Can you repair an existing pool fence?
Baby Barrier Mid-Florida provides pool fence repair and replacement services for problems such as torn mesh, damaged poles, missing sections, worn hardware, and gate-alignment issues. We can inspect the existing system and explain whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
Can an old pool fence be replaced using the existing deck holes?
In some cases, an existing fence can be replaced using the current deck-hole pattern. This depends on the spacing, alignment, condition, and compatibility of the existing sleeves. The installation must be inspected before determining whether the existing holes can be reused.
How much does pool safety fence installation cost?
Pricing is based primarily on fence length, entrance or gate options, deck conditions, layout complexity, and property location. Request an estimate so we can measure the proposed fence line and provide pricing for the actual project.
Does professional installation guarantee code compliance?
We plan installations with applicable pool-barrier requirements in mind, but final code interpretation, permitting, and inspection decisions are made by the appropriate local authority. Requirements may vary by property and jurisdiction.
