The best type of temporary fencing depends on why you need fencing in the first place. If you're simply trying to warn people to stay away from an ongoing construction project, plastic orange fencing may be enough. Barricade fencing is ideal if you're trying to block off small areas. Security fencing may be necessary if you're trying to protect an area from trespassing, theft, or vandalism.

Before installing a pool, you’ll need to research what the pool laws in your state, city, and county are to ensure that you’re adhering to the legal regulations. Inground pools typically need to have a fence around the entirety of them, but the rules regarding above-ground pools are less stringent. A good rule of thumb is to always have a fence around your pool to ensure safety for all. 

The best fence option for you depends on your property, budget, and style preferences, but a corrugated metal fence could be a good option if you want something durable yet low-maintenance. Unlike wood, corrugated metal won’t fall prey to rot or pest damage, and the metal can be recycled after its life as a fence comes to an end.
