OT: Above-ground Inflatable Ring Pool

[sdduuuude]

I grew up in Tucson. We had one of the old style doughboy above-ground pools. We loved it as kids. Didn’t really strike us as being different from a regular pool, except no deep end. Parents had plenty of land and put a fence around it so it was fairly well hidden.

Might want to watch some “America’s Funniest Home Videos” before you buy. Seems that many of them center around above-ground pools.

From what I’m told, the electricity used for the filter pump is a major cost.

Seems reasonable; I think our backyard fence should cover that requirement.

[quote=walterwhite]i dont know how old your kids are, but i have bigger kids and recently bought a small 10 dollar inflatable pool … can get beer at the same time as you buy your pool.

i think the pool may have been on sale and may normal be 15.[/quote]

Beer is essential! We’ve had the smaller inflatable pools for a few years now; we put to rest one that sprung a leak last weekend. I’m looking for something my wife and I can swim in, as well as our kids!

I don’t want to kill the grass, though, so I’m looking for something that might fit on the patio.

When I lived in northern virginia near DC, my neighbor wanted to give his two kids a pool so he went and bought one just like the one you posted. His backyard was all grass and not entirely level so when he filled it the first time, it didnt fill level and kept spilling water out. He drained it and then decided to level his yard. He used dirt to level his yard and basically tossed dirt on his lawn until it was to a point where he thought it was level. I recommended a 2×4 platform but he thought the dirt was sufficient. He also barbecued in the middle of his yard instead of on the deck attached to the house. I asked him why and he said he once had an accident with the grill so he didnt want to burn his house down.
