One obvious component that cannot be overlooked is the metal fence posts. These make up an important part of the structure of your pool fence. You will also need to think about the iron safety fence panels, the wrought iron pool gate that allows for easy entry and exit to and from the pool, as well as other small parts like caps, bushings, and so on. If you are not going to install the pool fence yourself, you won’t need to have such a detailed grasp on the way these items are constructed. However, it is still a good idea to have a basic understanding of the product so you can watch for problems and check the quality of the work after it has been completed.

Wrought iron fencing, for example, is made from solid wrought iron. It’s tough and durable yet prone to rusting and requires maintenance. Although it’s often very ornate in appearance, it’s also heavy and can be harder to install.
