The pool was pretty easy to set up following the instructions. It took a few hours with two people to get it setup. It has not leaked at all and still looks great. This is the first metal sided pool we’ve had with a liner and I would choose this style again. The sides have been stable and doesn’t wobble.

Got the pool back in January of 2026 as an upgrade from the cheap vinyl looking one and so far so good. Getting the pool was actually harder than I thought, I did had to call my parents for some help so 4 people is definitely needed to put the wall up. Pump isn’t so bad but definitely requires a lot of cleaning in the skimmer since it’s a small pump for such a large pool but it gets the job done if all your chemicals are good. I do backwash every other week to keep the sand in the filter cleaned and in good working shape. Pool is sturdy. I have not had any leakage from anywhere in the pool.

This product should be emblazoned with a huge brightly colored label that says YOU SHOULD PROBABLY HIRE SOMEONE TO ASSEMBLE THIS AND INSTALL THIS FOR YOU. I'm a fairly handy guy who has tackled all manner of home repair and improvement projects but setting up this steel wall above ground pool was nearly my Waterloo. The direction booklet and the video included in the product listing are basically worthless. The instruction booklet has half a dozen ambiguous pictures and not much helpful directions which would have been nice to reference when setting up the track. The video has these 2 teenage girls effortlessly setting the pool up except THEY SKIP OVER THE WHOLE DIFFICULT PART OF THE STEEL WALL ACTUALLY BEING SET UP. They start out with laying down the track on an astroturf studio set and then jump right to the liner installation! And the steel wall set up is one of the more crucial and frustrating things about this pool because if you don't get the tracks spaced exactly perfect where they meet up with the 'feet', you'll have a few inches of extra steel wall when you try to fasten the seam which is a bummer because you then have to start over. Instead of the tracks butting right up to the middle divider that are in these feet, they suggest a little spacing on each one but there's no specific measurement guidelines so you just have to guess after you've wrestled with this 200+ lb steel coil for awhile trying to get it in the track and line up the seam. Also the video references using parts and pieces that are not applicable to this pool model. And it's all fairly cheap plastic that keeps the steel wall in place which is prone to breaking, we damaged one of the feet right off the bat. We opted for a better beaded liner than what came with the pool and that installation was pretty easy. We're also using a different sand filter pump than what was provided. All in all it's a good looking pool and a fairly decent value but my review here is subpar because of the lack of good directions and the suggestion that the average person can tackle this. It's pretty laughable that the directions state the 'assembly and installation time is 2-3 hours with 2 people'. Just know what you're getting yourself into if you purchase this pool and good luck!

Reviews were very mixed so I purchased this pool in hopes that the bad reviews weren't going to be the case. WRONG!! First the box arrived damaged. Driver wouldn't stay for me to inspect the contents before leaving, so I could refuse delivery. When the box was open, damage was found. The metal frame itself was damaged! There is no way to repackage this product to return either! Especially when it arrives with a box completely damaged, opened and only being held together in spots with tape. We hope for the best and try to put the pool together because we are stuck with it at this point. The directions are horrible! We had to find a YouTube video to show us how to put it together. First the ground cover is so thin and cheap it's not worth a penny. In putting it together we found the base plastic ring and top plastic ring are too short and can not completely close together because they are exactly 2 inches short on top and bottom. After 4 hours we finally stopped because we now have to go back and tear off top ring to reposition to cover all the gaps in the ring. I will edit this post and add pictures later today as we try again to put this pool together. For now, my review is not worth the money! Bad reviews are accurate. There is no way to return this item once you open it to inspect for damage or missing parts. Company selling these pools really needs to be offering partial refunds at minimum for those not as fortunate to receive a better quality pool, knowing full well there is no way to return this item. Lastly, it was packaged so poorly, the odds of the thin metal frame not getting damaged are very slim!

Takes at least two people to put up. The pump works good. Make sure to level your ground. We have had so much fun in our pool!

So far we love it! We’ve made it almost two summers with the pool and it’s holding up really well. The walls are sturdy and the liner is high quality. Minimal fading and no issues with leaks. We did upgrade the pump and add a heater to get more weeks out of it. I don’t think the pump it comes with is sufficient, but that may not be the case for everyone. Plenty big for two adults to be on floats. We had friends over and could fit 4 adults and a jumping kid pretty easily.

I love this pool and I’m happy with the way everything turned out. After having two Summer Waves pools over the course of 7 years, it was finally time to setup a hard sided pool that I can keep up year round. The sand filter/pump that came with the pool is too small in my opinion. I ended up purchasing a 3000 gph Intex pump/filter that does a great job. I also purchased a 25 guage, J-hook liner because I didn’t want to deal with the overlapping liner that came with the pool. In my opinion, the overlap liners are harder to install and the overlapping liner looks lawful on the outside of the pool. I was able to set the entire pool up by myself other than needing help bolting the 2 sides of the metal frame together. The entire build would have been easier with 2 people, but I managed to do it alone. There are a lot of good YouTube videos out there that show how to setup a pool. Also make sure your ground is level and that you put blocks down underneath the supports. I also purchased a good, sturdy ladder because the one that comes with it is flimsy.
