This works very well for us.  We needed it to setup a blockage for our hot tub so that one of the grandpuppies doesn't go in.   HOWEVER, please note the height...might not work for everyone.  We just need a 'deterrent'...but it won't keep a lab out if she wants in.  2nd note:  It is lightweight.  We have a lot of wind, and the fence has ended up in the pool on a regular basis.   The feet also pulled off during one of the dunks in the pool.  Our plan is to find some weights or sandbags to place on the feet to help keep in place.  Will have to figure out a way to repair the screws/holes on the feet.  We do like it though and will purchase another one to fully enclose the hot tub.
