Intex 15X42" Frame Set Pool —
I bought this Intex pool two summers ago and I love it. It is the best investment I have ever made. We used the pool everyday and we took it down at the end of the season. It is so easy to put together and take down. It stores very nicely too. The one thing that made me a little nervous was the metal bars, they started leaning towards the end of the summer. It never fell over though! I also did not like the ladder so I went and bought a plastic one where the one side flips up for safety reasons. For the money you pay for this instead of a permanent one, I do think you save a lot of money. We are military and we move a lot so it is nice we can take it with us and move with it.
