What is the best kind of pool to buy?

Question

a metal frame or soft sided with rim that u inflate?

Answer 1

I had the same dilemma, but I ended up buying the soft-sided with the inflatable ring. It was less expensive than the metal one of the same size.

And recently I've seen questions on here regarding the metal-framed ones. One person had a problem with a side collapsing. Another person had problems with the metal poles sinking into the ground.

So far, I'm happy with my choice. Also, I believe that if you have something with fewer parts, there's fewer things to go wrong. Anyway, that's just me and my opinion.
