(7,715 posts)Try the Intex line of Quickset pools. You blow up the top ring and then fill with water. Mine had a filter and a ladder.
For something like $300-400, I had a pool I could swim in. It's been several years since I had it, but I was recently looking online at them. A lot of people have bought them with the pandemic, so expect there to be shortages and prices jacked up. (Thanks again, Trump!)
I got a homech brand its 120-72-22 it has great reviews they did not have any intex I got it at farm store of all places.

(7,715 posts)Your Homech pool is highly rated. Enjoy!
Ebay has a bunch of inflatable pools and hot tubs if anyone else is looking.

My wife put it together. Put a tarp under it.
It was great after a day on the golf course. Me and the little one. My wife laughed at how quickly I changed into trunks (had them in the garage).
Its pretty much been raining since then. I did take a dip (with cup of coffee) after my run Thursday morning.
If you have a blow up motor things for inflatable mattresses thatll save you a lot of time and effort.

(182,585 posts)I just exchanged my iPad a few weeks ago and the autocorrect on this is all kinds of whacky. I look back and see all kinds of nonsense on posts.

I recommend buying a patch kit and roll of x-wide Gorilla Tape, especially if you have doggos.

(7,753 posts)and came with a pump and a cover. It was about $150 at of all places, KMart. I also got the suction skimmer which you attach to the hose for not much money and it worked really well and ordered one of the surface skimmers for a few dollars on ebay along with the sterilizer tabs. We used it for several summers and it was a joy. Put a tarp under it to make sure it doesn't get punctured and clean it every few days and it really does last a long time. I loved the soft air ring around the top because the little ones could climb in and out easily without getting hurt. Easy to drain and refill if it gets too dirty. Have fun. They provide hours and hours of fun. Kids never got bored with it until they got older.
I found homech 120-72-22 of all places at farm store it is inflatable yes I put tarp down.
