We have a new pool in the backyard.

For quite sometime we have been thinking about getting a pool to our backyard. Size does matter and so does price. We will probably have to buy a car until October so we couldn’t spend a lot of money on a pool. We searched a bit and although we preferred other type of pool for now we have to take advantage of a smaller and cheaper one.

Yesterday I bought a average pool (366 cm x 91 cm – 12′ x 36″), it takes 6786 liters of water, it’s filled with air on the border and the walls just come up with the water. I was quite skeptical that the walls would come up but, they did. The walls are built with three layers of strong material and I hope the neighbor’s cats don’t put their paws in there.

Here is a collage of the several stages we went through this morning and part of the afternoon. Today it was a National Holiday so we could do this today, the kids were thrilled of course.

    Tina: It was not very expensive and the size is enough for my kids. We can be all inside and there is still space to play.

    That looks like something we could use here in Florida. Do you have it on concrete? We have grass in our backyard and I wonder if there’d be a problem with it ripping the bottom?

    Connie, mine is on concrete but it can be on grass. The material is very resistant and doesn’t get damaged easily. Here’s the link to my pool – http://tinyurl.com/6jffuv
