FAQs - pool fence
How long does the installation take?

Do you install pool fences all over the UAE?
Yes, we install in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Um Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujeirah, everywhere in the UAE
How much does a pool safety fence cost?
Cost is calculated per meter length of fence plus the safety gate (which is also 1 meter wide)
- Fence: AED 294 per linear metre
- Gate: AED 2,100 per gate with accessories
- Installation and VAT included
Do you need to drill the ground?
Yes.
- We drill a hole (32mm diameter) into the ground,
- we fix 'socks' into these holes,
- then we insert the fence poles into the holes.
We have to do this to make the fence strong and secure. All fence or barrier types need to make holes whether removable pool safety fence, glass fence or pool safety net. Otherwise they would not be child-proof.
We supply twist-in caps to close the holes if you remove the fence. We also leave the drilled plugs with you to help re-fill holes if you remove the fence permanently. If you are renting you may need to check with landlord.

Is it easy to remove the pool fence?
Yes. Release the child-resistant safety latch and pull up vertically to remove each pole. NB the safety latch is child-resistant because it is tough, it is high up, and to release it you need both hands and you need to do two actions at the same time. See the video...
What about the safety gate?
- The gate is self-closing - it closes automatically when you let go of it.
- The gate is self-locking - a high strength magnet shoots the bolt to 'closed'. It can only be opened using the latch.
- The latch is fitted 1.50 meters above the ground, out of reach for children, and only opens by pulling upwards
- The gate can also be locked with a key. A red button indicator shows visually that it is locked.
- The MagnaLatch lock and the TruClose hinges are premium products from D&D Technologies in Australia.
How high must a pool fence be in UAE?
