Bestway Steel Pro Pool | Swimming Pool, Rectangle Above Ground Garden Frame Pool, Multiple Sizes, Blue, 7’3”

This paddling pool served me well all summer long. It was unfortunately left up and is still surviving despite it being the end of January.I have extremely poor mobility, but was able to erect the pool by myself. I am delighted with it. It feels sturdy. I also find it easier to get in and out of than the pool with an inflatable ring at the top that I had previously.The water comes up to my waist when I'm sitting in it. I often sit and read in the pool on hot days to help keep my lymphoedema under control.I've no complaints. If you want a paddling pool and you have the room for it, this is a good one to get.

Good quality

We've been very pleased with this pool; we bought it in 2018 and it has been in use every summer since. It's a little tricky to fit the last corner together on assembly, but easy enough with two people; for the past two summers I've done it by myself without a problem, it takes me about 20 minutes. We put it up at the start of the summer and, using a pump, chlorine tablets and cover, can maintain the water throughout the whole summer. We thoroughly clean and dry the pool at the end of the season and store it in its box in the garage. We've had no damage, mildew or corrosion through use or storage. As our lawn is uneven, we always set the pool up on a base of interlocking foam mats on the patio; this protects the base of the pool and makes a more comfortable floor for when playing in it. The size is ideal for our two boys to play; or more commonly our youngest and a couple of friends now that the oldest is a teenager and less inclined to splash around! My husband and I also enjoy walking around in it to cool off on a hot day :-)

Great sturdy pool. I set it up myself in 20 minutes, filling it obviously takes longer. It was really easy to set up. The one and only downside is that there is no plug on the bottom, which frankly is a rubbish design. It means you have to take half the leg poles out to lower one side to let all the water flow out. Having said that, you can buy a filter and chlorine floating system if you want to reuse the same water. Even with having no ground plug I still recommend this pool. It is much better than an inflatable because you don't lose 60cm of space with the sides, it is all water which is great for the kids. Plus no annoying re-pumping every couple of days, taking the legs out to let the water flow out is quicker than re-pumping every couple of days anyway. It is very strong and worth the money. Be warned though, big pools are cold! We have a separate hose that we run through the house to fill it from the warm tap (with a hose tap converter) that works a treat!!

I wasn't sure how good the quality was going to be but I'm really pleased with how sturdy it is once it's put together. A bit fiddly to put poles through the pool loops but easier with 2 people. Drains really well and great value for money. The kids (and myself) love it!

Why did you choose this product over others?:Very disappointing very small upset kids

Such good value for money, not used yet, looking forward to do this tomorrow, size is perfect and looks good so far.

I had two plastic pegs left over the diagram says to fix them in the middle two poles but there is absolutely no where they can go? All poles have only one hole at one end for pegs and the other tapered end slides inside the poles with the holes so to put two pegs in the middle would require a double ended pole with drilled holes at either ends but this was not included. It’s sturdy enough as long as no one leans against the sides. I’m wondering if I got the wrong poles but it’s up now so can’t send it back
