I had seen that how-to, but while my pool has the metal frame, the liner is not protected from the elements like the one in that picture… There are no metal “walls,” on mine, so I wasn’t sure if that would make a difference. These Intex pools come in a few different sizes, as we mentioned in the Intex pool reviews. How many people you want to fit inside it and how large space you have to house it.

A. Some owners prefer emptying and disassembling their pool to store it away for the winter. However, if you live in an area where the temperature doesn’t usually drop below 32°F in the winter, you can choose to leave it up if you follow some simple steps. If you haven’t used or maintained an above-ground pool before, we’ve got the answers to some commonly asked questions. Ladders can help when getting into pools that are high off the ground. If you’re planning to add a pool to your backyard, now is the time to buy.

Following general winterizing instructions for above ground pools has worked. I should note though that we have been graced with a couple of mild winters as of late.

It won’t do anything to keep the bottom and sides of the pool clean. The smaller pools don’t require much maintenance, but all sizes of pools will last longer if the sides and bottom are kept clean by scrubbing with a brush or vacuum. The metal frames on the Prism Frame Pools give the intex baby float walls more rigidity. Although it’s important that your pool is on a flat surface, if it isn’t perfect, the pool will still sit firmly in place. The walls are soft and flexible, but they don’t have nearly as much give, thanks to the stiff support poles, which are also rust-resistant.

At under $200, this above-ground pool is a steal, and it can often be found at a discount. The construction is solid, and the pump system works like a charm to combat the dirt, grime, and gunk that comes with having kids jump in and out of a pool. The same goes for the liner—we needed one person to hold the heavy-duty pool liner up while the other person slid the metal beams through the liner sleeves.
