  • Perfect Summer Pool for our own backyard oasis!!!
Size: 18ft. X 9ft. X 48in.
The media could not be loaded. We absolutely love this pool. It’s a perfect size for our family and when we have the kids outside. We purchased the 18x9x48”. We’ve had the pool up for 2 months now! The price was perfect for what we needed and received. Based off other reviews, we did go ahead and order a different sand pump, which has worked great! We chose to level the ground out, please a nice durable tarp on top of the dirt and then we chose the black 16 x 16 interlocking foam mats on top of that and place at the pool directly on top of that. Next step is to make a small retaining wall over around the edges. We are located in the Midwest, so our next thing is to research about closing our pool up when it gets to the view of the winter time and what to do The space that is needed to prep your area to get the pool up is smaller on the box than what is actually need due to the Support bars, so make sure you watch that! The assembly was easy and fast no screws or bolts needed! I’ve included several pictures, including what the bottom looks like for us, which led us to have a nice soft bottom for the kids up to filling it up in with it being filled the sides to bow in until it is filled, and then they straighten themselves back out. ... show more

  • Great value and product!
Size: 24ft. X 12ft. X 52in.
Product arrived as scheduled and as expected. Installation took me about 2.5 hours working by myself and once everything was organized into piles of matching lettered parts. Once you lay out the liner it is a matter of installing the rails and legs- make sure you pay attention to the location of the pump connections. For the rail installation I would recommend that you slide the first one into the liner and continue to connect them as you push them into the liner- I watched a video of an installation and they connected them all at once which seems cumbersome. Also spend the time early on to flatten the floor. If you wait until you have water starting to go into it (as the instructions tell you to do), it is too late and you will have ridges on the floor. There are only two downsides. One is the ladder, it seems a little rickety for its intended purpose. I'm going to buy some metal acorn screw caps and see if I can tighten it up... Two is the instructions. They are not very good, but if you can decipher and build anything from the Swedish furniture store than you can manage this. They would be much better if they got rid of the verbiage and just used pictures or illustrations. All in all an awesome deal and definitely worth the price. ... show more

  • This 24x12 pool fell apart
Size: 24ft. X 12ft. X 52in.
This pool fell apart. I knew when I was putting it together that the corner Connection pieces slide in and out, it should have a stopping/ loving point, some way to lock it. All my years as a carpenter I was nervous about the corners from the beginning and said to myself I should blow some screws through it to secure it but apparently I didn't do that which my subconscious mind told me that was the best thing to do. As you can see from the photos the corner disconnected itself, this has been a horrible experience. The directions are crappie to begin with. The pump contains so many parts with no decent directions. I had to watch a YouTube video to figure out how to put the pump and hoses together correctly. I started to drain the water because the corner looked like it's May tear that was another problem so I wedged a screwdriver in there drain to keep the valve open to drain the water which shouldn't be that way but this is what I'm dealing with. Once I drain the water I will secure all Corners with self Tapper screws so this doesn't happen again but there's another possible issue. Looks like the lining in my photos. It may tear at that corner from the weight of the water. Well if that happens I guess I'll be sending this pool back. ... show more

  • Build your base at least 2 ft over
Size: 18ft. X 9ft. X 48in. + Accessories
Overall happy with the pool problem is the person that delivered. It was very sloppy with the way they handled the box. The box was virtually unmovable because it was already falling apart. Looks like they just rolled it out of the truck luckily, nothing was damaged and unfortunately the product details are not accurate. It says the pool is 9 x18 feet so you would think by building your pad a foot over would be adequate but it’s not for this pool. You need at least 12 x 20 to have space to pull the supports firmly outward. ... show more

  • My Summer home
Size: 24ft. X 12ft. X 52in.
This was the best purchase I have made this was a wonderful pool. Don't try to do it alone or with just 2 people. Be sure to read all directions. I did not and we are resetting this coming year. Plan ahead. Product is good , solid material. We live in the Midwest and our biggest issue was keeping the passing geese and ducks from using it. So it holds water great made it through the winter without issues. Plenty of space for family and friends. Don't forget to get a pad for the steps both side in and out. ... show more

  • So Far I'm Pretty Happy
Size: 18ft. X 9ft. X 48in.
Received this pool almost a week early...that was a nice surprise. Super easy to set up. I had some concerns when it was half way full as the long sides bowed in noticeably. I wish they had said in the directions that this is normal (unless I didn't read that part cause the print was so small and I have old eyes now.) Once the water reached near the top, the bow was completely gone with nice straight lines on the pool. Some reviews said the ladder didn't feel sturdy; however, I found that it seems to work fine for me. I can't report on the filter yet, but so far, so good. I love that it has a timer built into the plug so I don't wake up in the middle of the night running out to turn the filter off because I forgot. WARNING: All of a sudden on hot days you'll find out you have more friends than you thought you had. ... show more
