desertcart.com: Bestway Power Steel 24’ x 12' x 52” Above Ground Pool, Rectangular Metal Frame Outdoor Swimming Pool Set with Sand Filter Pump, Ladder, and Cover : Patio, Lawn & Garden Review: Perfect Summer Pool for our own backyard oasis!!! - We absolutely love this pool. It’s a perfect size for our family and when we have the kids outside. We purchased the 18x9x48”. We’ve had the pool up for 2 months now! The price was perfect for what we needed and received. Based off other reviews, we did go ahead and order a different sand pump, which has worked great! We chose to level the ground out, please a nice durable tarp on top of the dirt and then we chose the black 16 x 16 interlocking foam mats on top of that and place at the pool directly on top of that. Next step is to make a small retaining wall over around the edges. We are located in the Midwest, so our next thing is to research about closing our pool up when it gets to the view of the winter time and what to do The space that is needed to prep your area to get the pool up is smaller on the box than what is actually need due to the Support bars, so make sure you watch that! The assembly was easy and fast no screws or bolts needed! I’ve included several pictures, including what the bottom looks like for us, which led us to have a nice soft bottom for the kids up to filling it up in with it being filled the sides to bow in until it is filled, and then they straighten themselves back out. Review: Great value and product! - Product arrived as scheduled and as expected. Installation took me about 2.5 hours working by myself and once everything was organized into piles of matching lettered parts. Once you lay out the liner it is a matter of installing the rails and legs- make sure you pay attention to the location of the pump connections. For the rail installation I would recommend that you slide the first one into the liner and continue to connect them as you push them into the liner- I watched a video of an installation and they connected them all at once which seems cumbersome. Also spend the time early on to flatten the floor. If you wait until you have water starting to go into it (as the instructions tell you to do), it is too late and you will have ridges on the floor. There are only two downsides. One is the ladder, it seems a little rickety for its intended purpose. I'm going to buy some metal acorn screw caps and see if I can tighten it up... Two is the instructions. They are not very good, but if you can decipher and build anything from the Swedish furniture store than you can manage this. They would be much better if they got rid of the verbiage and just used pictures or illustrations. All in all an awesome deal and definitely worth the price.
