Temporary pools (1 Viewer)

[ragincajun]

So I have been looking into pools. I grew up with one and miss it. Problem is I may sell my house in a year or two due to relocation. This leads me too look into the smaller inflatable or modular type pools you see at walmart,

Give me your thoughts. I think if I do buy one a saltwater pump is a must......?

Believe it or not, I actually dug my own pool. I used spray paint to outline your basic kidney shape, and rented a backhoe and dug it out over a weekend. I used the fill dirt for various garden projects around our property, including a nice privacy berm. Then I sent the dimensions to Doheny's and they made me a custom vinyl liner. Installing the liner wasn't easy, but I got it done over another weekend, then filled it up with water. It was an absolute disaster, caved in on one side, liner came loose and I ended up with a huge mud pit. Would not recommend.

Rumor has it, NFL cheerleaders are underpaid. Invite a couple squads over to compete in mud wrestling. Set up a bar, sell tickets, profit.

Yeah I would have fun with a backhoe but I may end up with a bit of a mess.

That did not turn out the way I thought it would.

Yes, the salt water generator is a must. Couldn't be easier to keep a pool clean. Have a 15' ft above ground from walmart. It is what it is. The kids and I have a lot of fun in it.

I bought one from wal mart last year and used it for a week or two. Ended up throwing it away.
