  • The instructions are poor, BUT the pool is great.
Size: 16' x 52" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
My pool is the 52" round. Folks giving the PRODUCT a poor review because the instructions are poor just don't make sense. I almost didn't buy this because of the 3.7 stars, but once you read through the reviews you realize folks aren't complaining about the QUALITY of the pool. The barcode on the front of the instruction manual takes you to a video or search for Round Hydrium Steel Wall Above Ground Pool Setup video. That video certainly over-simplifies, but it shows you one of every step, You just have to repeat it for every stanchion etc. A friend and I took right at 6 hours to have it all put together and filling. Got another hour or two of cutting the skimmer and return hole and hooking up the pump/filter after filling, but the pool is up, looks good and is super sturdy. Disclaimer is that we have installed a pool before and from the day I ordered this, we began preparing/leveling the ground. Things to note: I am not a professional, I'm a Dad/Grandad trying to keep the grandkids happy. - Ground/Site prep is SUPER important! Spend some time at it! - Someone mentioned in a poor review that the skimmer and return hole are not precut. So you could not POSSIBLY line up a precut hole. Even if you lined it up perfectly, the weight of 5000 gallons of water will move it. You want the water level almost at the hole when you cut it so you know the water is holding the liner in that spot forever. - I put a 12" square concrete block under every stanchion. Had to dig down and basically make it flush with the ground. SUPER painful and time consuming process, but worth it for stability. - I won't be using the included ladder, pump or filter simply because I had access to better ones so no feedback on those. - I purchased heavy duty coving (along base of wall in middle pic) and a pad to go under the pool. It comes with a blue tarp, but I wanted a bit of extra protection. - If you order this here, it is going to take a while to get to you. Research, review, watch, read and prepare the ground. It will make your install day(s) so much simpler. Good luck! ... show more

  • Excellent pool for the money
Size: 20' x 12' x 48" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
This pool is awesome for the money! It was not very difficult to put together however, the instructions are not very detailed so you have to use some common sense. The outer wall is heavy and hard to put up alone, so you’ll probably need a couple more hands. The packaging that it came in wasn’t very desirable, but all the pieces were still in it. ... show more

  • Poor assembly instructions

Overall I think this is a good product. Issue is the assembly instructions are very poor & the video needs audio.

  • No real instructions or details
Size: 20' x 12' x 48" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
This pool came with instructions that only had pictures that were too small to make out what things were. Nothing was numbered or marked so you didn't know what part was what. No dimensions or anything! The website is no help with construction of the pool & you have to put a call back number in to speak someone! The pieces that you use to stand the sides up were not marked and we put the pool almost all the way together and on the last 10ft it wouldn't go together because the parts were not marked and we used the wrong ones. The video is a joke on how to put it together, 2 people, ya right, more like 6 for us! Just praying to God we get more than 1 summer out of it since it took us 3 days to get it together! I do NOT recommend buying this pool ... show more

  • Great value
Size: 16'5" x 12' x 48" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
Great pool, easy to setup but I recommend 3 people: 1 as project manager or planner, 2 for the physical setup. Absolutely critical that you start with a perfectly level surface. At the frame build phase, level it again. Do not install the liner until absolutely level. Mine requires daily skim for leaves and weekly shock. Chlorine floaters are useless, I have 2 with 8 tablets each and my test strip cannot detect any chlorine. So I shock (HTH) 1x per week, keeps it crystal clear. ... show more

  • Patience is a virtue.
Size: 20' x 12' x 48" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
We purchased this pool when it was on sale for $1279. The instructions are not the best and you have to do a lot of educated guessing and look up videos online for help. Once you get that under your belt it is fairly easy to assemble. There are 2 major flaws with the design. one being the humps or covers that are over the middle stability legs, they sit inside the pool and have metal flat bands you attach that go across the pool. the bands do not sit flat and are a big problem when putting the liner in along with the covers over the bands and legs. The liner is not going to be flat no matter what you do or try, ultimately ending in a few small wrinkles on the bottom of the pool! Considering the size and the price you can't expect top quality really simple. As you add the water the pool walls become very stable and the entire structure solid as a rock! I personally love the pump that came with it, it does a great job and keeps the pool pretty clean. We did invest in a robot cleaner and that combined with the pump does a great job. The size of the pool is perfect and very roomy. Overall if you are not looking to spend $5000 this is a great option and worth the momentary frustration that comes with it. ... show more

  • Great Pool
Size: 16' x 52" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
First time pool owners and installers. Husband and I did all the prep work and installation. Prepping the area to be level took more time then the actual pool set up. Best to have three people when actually setting up the pool side walls, one to hold in place and two to unravel and line up into the base. Otherwise, so far, the pool has been great. Sturdy and not an eyesore. Pump could be better, plan on getting a larger one next season. ... show more
