Post a picture. I've done thousands of feet of Baby-Loc.
Were you there to see the installation?

I was there for most of it. they drilled holes in the concrete with a really big drill thingy and did a lot of measuring. How do you post a picture on here?

Ok so here is one. I will post a couple more after this. I also noticed a "wrinkled" panel. You can see this pretty good in one of the other pictures I will post.

Droopy fence panel.

Wrinkles

Any five year old could get through that, five is usually the cut off age that I dont think a barrier is necessary.

Actually, after checking it out further my five year old would have to cut through it with something pretty sharp. And I don't think she would have the strength yet. Or the access to whatever would cut it. Regular household scissors wouldn't do the trick. It's pretty thick. Plus, the poles won't come out unless you unhook one of the end pieces from the top, again, she doesn't have enough strength to unhook one of those things. And then pop the poles out one by one. And they don't come out easy. I have a hard time getting them out and I am pretty strong for a girl. I guess an adult could snap one of the poles in half if they really tried. She couldn't. And as for a five year old not needing a barrier, I guess the above poster didn't read all of my first post. She can't swim. At all. If she walked too close and fell in or a dog jumped up on her, knocked her in, another kid pushing her in. That's what happened with her before (again, in my post). One of her friends pushed her in above her head. Even the adults around her didn't pay attention to her flailing around in the water. She had a vest on, but vests don't keep our head out of the water if you don't know to use them. She hadn't been in a pool without someone holding her since she was about a year old. I can't even count on another adult to help her. So yes, a five year old needs a barrier when being around a 10-foot hole in the ground full of water. I am not happy with the way the one panel droops but the pool company who installed it is going to look at it tomorrow when they come back to finish the liner tomorrow.

Would you mind sharing how much you paid for these safety fences? Our pool has its final inspection on Wed. Our builder said that the two preferred vendors that they normally work with are out of biz :( I craiglisted and requested a 5' safey safety fence. I got a quote of $2400 (inc. installed cost and taxes) for 141' perimeter. I wanted the fence around the decking. Is ths reasonable?

Thanks!

Makboo, that sounds about right. We actually haven't paid for it yet, they are finishing everything up today so we don't have the exact cost. But I think our quote was closer to $3,000 or a little above. We have a pretty big area. I hope you are looking at the 5'. I wouldn't trust the 4'. Easier to get over with the aid of a chair or something. And Jump, I know we need to teach her how to swim. We will right away, but she isn't a climber and she's old enough to know better for the most part. She has the fear of God in her because of what happened last summer. If she were two, no I wouldn't want this fence as my only protection if I weren't going to be in the yard with her. Even though it really does seem more secure than I thought at first. But I think it will be fine for her. She shows no desire at all to get anywhere near it. You can't "fall" through it. It won't fall over if you push against it. And it isn't easy to remove for an adult. It takes some work to even get one pole out. You say you have a 4' mesh fence? Have your kids ever gotten through it? Just curious. You can climb a chain link easier than you can get through this fence. Our neighbor, her 6 year old boy has climbed their 8' chain link around their pool twice and got into their pool area. This fence, you can't climb it.
