Professional pool fencing installation vs. DIY

The scorching heat of Australian summer definitely makes home pool more of a necessity than a luxury, there’s no doubt about that. The only real question you have left to ask yourself is if you should do it yourself and install the fence, or if you should pay for the installation. There are pros and cons for both services, explore it all and determine which option works better for you.

Do-It-Yourself

  2. It will provide the option to make your own customisations and designs.
  3. With a perfectly installed pool fence, you will have the added satisfaction of a job well done.

Cons

  1. DIY pool fence installation can be a demanding task time and stress wise, especially if you do not have any previous construction experience.
  2. Getting the fence height just right, gathering the required materials, making the fences firm and keeping a consistent design can all be quite challenging, so without proper skill and expertise, there is a lot of room for errors.
  3. It will not have the professional finish.
  4. It has the potential to cost you more money in the long run if you make mistakes and install it improperly.
