Easy to Install

The main claim to fame for these pools is that they are extremely easy to set up. In most cases, you can have it filling with water a few minutes after removing it from the package. You must take time to find a very level area of the ground because even a slight incline can make the pool challenging to set up, if not impossible. However, we recommend checking your yard, making sure it’s level, and making any improvements, before purchasing the pool, so it’s not an issue during installation.

Great for Children

The Intex Easy Set pool is perfect for small children. It makes a perfect training pool for teaching your small children how to swim. It’ also fantastic for birthday parties, and many of these pools can hold several children at once.

No Permits

In many towns and boroughs, you need to get a license and permission from your neighbors before you can put a put up a solid-walled pool. These pools usually don’t require any permits or approval and can be purchased and set up by anyone. Even a renter can put one up, as they are generally considered small and non-permanent.

Not Very Durable

While these pools are not that expensive, they often don’t last more than two or three seasons, even with extreme care. The lining material is durable but is prone to punctures, especially from pets. The bottom of the pool can also wear out from high traffic, especially if the ground has a lot of rock under the surface.
