I dog sit my daughter's Corgie who is really clumsy and she fell into the swimming pool last week and I had to rescue her because she couldn't get out of the pool by herself. I needed an easy-to-install fence to block her access to the pool area because she is overly curious about the pool and won't stay away from it. Anyway, after that hair-raising near drawing incident, I found this fence and it was EXACTLY the right length to entirely block off access to the pool. It's also a very attractive fence and more than sufficient for the purpose. In the picture I created an "L" with one panel that wraps around that small wall where where I staked it (using two stakes because I had an extra on in my configuration). On the other end, the "L" is at the wall of the house and since I couldn't stake it (it's a cermamic tile patio), I attached that end to a water faucet with a plastic cord tie. It's as steady as a rock.
