We got one last year-the Intex ones that rise as you fill it. Easy cheesy to set it all up, even got the salt water filter so we didn't have to do chemicals. The kids BEGGED for it and used it pretty heavily the first week or two, then no one ever used it. Became an eye sore and a PITA so when we took it down, we just threw it away. There wasn't even anything wrong with it. lol

If you need a salt-water filter, lmk. Still have it.

above ground pools are junk but if will keep them happy for a few weeks it may be worth a couple hundred bucks to ya. eventually it will end up in the landfill with the rest of the useless shit people buy

I think I got it from Toys R Us. It was like $299 for the pool (which includes the ladder, pool, cleaning tools and small filter) then we bought the salt water filter for $179. Add to that the shit-ton of stupid ass toys we bought them to play with. Ugh-it added up quick.

This year, we just bought season passes to Six Flags.

You can't use a hose Fred, you need to use a bucket filled from the bathtub, then run outside and dump it in the pool, repeat until full. Tell the kids once it is full, they can use it, so get to work!

We had one of the 18' round by 4' deep in the backyard. Kids used the hell out of it first two or three years (ages 8-12). Once they discovered the water parks or friends with real cement ponds they were out.

I sold it and someone came and picked it up and I reclaimed my back yard.

I have big Oaks in the backyard so the up keep and maintenance was an ass kicker with all the leaves.
