Life Saver Pool Fence DG DIY Drill Guide Removable Mesh Safety Fence for Pools

This is very easy to install, and the fence is good and sturdy. I bought 10 sections of fence (as well as the gate) and from first getting the product out the box to having the gate leveled and adjusted took about 8 hours. That included the time to actually read the instructions and plan out the fence route. The drilling base is essential, and also sturdy. The bullseye system and leveling bolts work fine, there are two bushings in it so the drill bit rotates freely, and you need to put some angle on the fence posts, depending on the shape of your pool. If you have a square pool, then you could get by without the base, but if you have some curved shape to your pool, then you set the posts at a slight tilt in order to get the right tension on the posts. I would not want to try doing that drilling without the guide. You need an 18" bit in order to get deep enough into the pool deck with the drilling guide. The gate was probably the most complicated bit of the installation, but still easy enough to do. Even with buying a Bosch rotary drill specifically for this job, 18" long 5/8" drill bit and the guide base I paid about a quarter of what I got quoted for this job.

Je l'ai utilisé pour percer les trous de la clôture de ma piscine et j'ai eu la surprise de m'apercevoir que les vis de mise a niveau n'étaient pas assez longues,(vraiment trop courte) j'ai dû en acheter des plus longues chez le quincailler. Je suggère que,au prix que vous le vendez, de rajouter un set de vis supplémentaire ( plus longues )car lorsque l'ajustement de niveau est au maximum avec vos petites vis, on fait quoi. Sinon excellent produit de bonne qualité.

As per my husband this is a must have to install properly. He didn't want to spend the money but was happy he did

Easy to use and worked perfectly for my 50+ holes, without a hiccup. I've seen a few complaints that the bearing holes are significantly larger than the 5/8" drill bit. But, from my perspective, I'd rather have some clearance to avoid the risk of the bit binding up in the jig. A 10-amp rotary hammer drill suddenly grabbing the guide could cause some injury. Plus, the drilling angle isn't THAT critical. The instructions for my fence talk about "light lean" or "heavy lean" for the poles. So, we're not looking for anything too exact here. I tried to keep the drill centered in the guide by concentrating on the upper bearing and focusing on keeping the upper bearing from spinning, which indicates that the bit isn't contacting the bearing. In sum, the guide simply lets you set up to drill a hole much more quickly, with confidence that your are within the acceptable range. If you're like me, when you start getting bored/tired/hot, you're more likely to make a mistake. Without this guide, I'm sure I'd have more than a few poles that are way off. This guide goes a long way to preventing mistakes relating to the angle of the holes.

works great but a bit expensive... now that my fence is up, it'll make a great door stop! lol
