POP-UP POOLS: BUYER’S GUIDE & FAQ

This inflatable-type pool is a great introduction if you aren’t sure you want a pool or don’t want to put a lot of money into it. Pop-up pools are the least expensive above ground pool option and are the easiest to put up and take down. In as little as 15 minutes, your pool is ready for water. Just be sure to lay the ground cloth and pool on a flat surface clear of any rocks or debris.

Unfortunately, these pools don’t last very long. Typically, you’ll only get a few seasons out of them. They’re also smaller than alternatives but can still provide plenty of summer fun!
