A family owned and operated company based in Delray Beach, FL, Life Saver has been has been keeping little feet on solid ground for over 25 years. In addition to Pool Fence DIY, Life Saver offers a contractor-installed Pool Fence option. There is a hole at the base of the gate which is to be used for drainage. So the bottom of the gate is a fixed point and should always be installed in that manner. Review: Excellent Gate for my Pool Area - TL;DR: This is an excellent gate and makes access to your pool really convenient. Installation is not trivial. If you're not handy, have a professional install it for you. Always make sure the self closing part of the gate is tight and assure that the gate closes. When we purchased our house, the safety fencing that was already installed was in great shape, but very hard to open because you had to pull a single section out of the ground every time you wanted to pass through it. It was so tightly fitting that my wife couldn't really open it without help. And when it was already open, you had to leave it open to get back through it again on your way back, which meant that for that time, our toddler had access to the pool. None of this was ideal. We needed a gate. After doing a lot of research I found this one and bit the bullet and ordered it. The price seemed high, but it is honestly a very well constructed and quality product, and I was pretty happy when it arrived. However, installation should be done by someone handy and with the tools to drill into the pool deck or flooring where your gate is. I'm pretty handy, but I called over my dad, who's very comfortable with this kind of thing, and we tackled it together. We had to cut off a section of the existing fencing in the middle where we wanted the gate installed. I drilled holes for this gate's 'posts' into our pavers. We attached those posts as instructed to the existing fencing and then put the rest of it together. The instructions are pretty good, but can be a bit confusing at parts, and the quality of the parts are excellent. One year later and this gate is still functioning great. The self latching parts of the gate will need adjustment from time to time, so keep a flat head handy to tighten it over the first month or two. There's two hinges with springs that need to be turned to adjust how quickly you want it to pull itself closed. I turned those suckers up pretty high so they would close quickly behind us and not accidentally close too softly to latch shut. I would love to find an outdoor chime that 'dings' whenever the door is opened, but haven't found one yet. IMPORTANT / SERIOUS NOTE... The most important thing for anyone installing a gate is making sure that it's full proof, and doesn't fail to latch. It needs to ALWAYS latch behind you, and you need to be sure of it closing every time. A few years back we had very good friends who lost their 2 year old son to a pool drowning. They were good people who were never neglectful of their child and kept a very close watch on him. They were proof that tragedies like this can happen to anyone. They turned their back for a few seconds and that's all it took. Please, make sure you install this gate and fencing properly and securely, and always make sure the gate latches behind you securely. UPDATE: 2 years later and this thing is still working perfectly. Couldn't be happier with it. Review: Can be used with wooden railings! - We purchased this gate because we have a 2 teared deck /swimming pool that is directly connected to our house We have a very curious 4 year old son who loves water. I refused to open our pool up this year until I had a safe enough gate that would keep him from getting down to the bottom deck/pool area. I found this gate and was worried it wouldn't be able to be attached to my existing wooden railing since it seemed that this gate was for the fencing system that looks identical to the gate.) I had our contractor add on an additional area at the bottom steps (the newer looking wood is the newer area he added on, in order for the gate to be as secure as possible. The only thing I'm aware of that he added was the 4 silver clip things on each side of the black posts. He said he added them because he said without them the posts didn't seem that secure. It wasn't like the gate or post was extremely wobbly, I guess considering how important the safety of this gate needed to be he felt much more comfortable adding on an extra security measure for it. The best thing I love about this gate is that it's self closing and locks shut. You can change the strength or weakness of the closure by turning the 2 plastic bolt type things inside of the corners of the gate, very simple to do. The gate also comes with the lock that is high and hard for kids to reach to open the gate. The lock also has a key that you can use to lock the gate so that you have to use the key to physically open the gate. The side you can't see is where the key hole is. It also has a light that turns green for unlocked , red for locked. My only complaint about this gate is that I couldn't find it in the color white since my railings are white. Other then that if your looking for peace of mind you need this gate. It's a little pricey but there's a reason for it. You absolutely cannot put a price tag on safety when it has to do with swimming pools and children. I wouldn't recommend leaving your child unattended because of it obviously,but you will feel so much better knowing you have a pretty good deterrent near your pool. I'm so happy with this purchase it's exactly what I wanted. ## Features - Easy-to-install, do-it-yourself gate kit for use with the Pool Fence DIY safety system; helps keep kids safe from accidental falls into your pool - 2-foot walk-through opening and recommend height of 4 feet. 4' Tall X 36" Wide - Aluminum, powder-coated square stock; sturdy double-truss uprights; industrial-strength mesh - Ultra-reliable magnetic gate latch and self-closing gate hinges.

Those are the dimensions of the box the gate opening actually measures 26 5/8" total with the uprights 32 5/8, and is 4' tall. **Q: If i purchase the gate and the fence, what else exactly is necessary to set the pool safety fence up so that it is very sturdy and impenetrable?** A: If you are installing the fence in a cement decking I highly recommend the Pool fence Drill guide and a good Hammer Drill ( I bought a Bosch Bulldog 11255) but you can rent one too. I had to mark and drill 75 holes and did it in a little over a day about 10-12 hours. The fence came out great and I've had a lot of compliments. **Q: Does this gate latch have an alarm to alert you when it is open?** A: No alarm **Q: Can this gate be key locked?** A: The gates comes with the Magna Latch by D&D Tech, which is key lockable. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Gate for my Pool Area *by S***G on March 4, 2017* TL;DR: This is an excellent gate and makes access to your pool really convenient.

The guy that put the video on the website for instructions said it really well. It takes a little to follow the instructions as they are a little - not really confusing, but different. After that it is an easy install. Get a good hammer- drill and a good bit and it will go well for you. I got the drill guide as well And I think it helped pretty good. Super easy to install and take down. The gate is a little tricky but just follow the supplied directions. Some of it takes some Common sense. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pool Fence DIY by Life Saver Self-Closing Gate Kit, Black (Pack of 1) - Pool Fence DIY by Life Saver Fencing Section Kit, 4 x 12-Feet, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/5722951-pool-fence-diy-by-life-saver-self-closing-gate-kit](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/5722951-pool-fence-diy-by-life-saver-self-closing-gate-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-27*
