## Description

desertcart.com: INTEX Kiddie Pool 4ftx 12in Metal Frame for Baby Water Play | 57173EP - Above Ground Swimming Pool with Soft Foam Padding for Kids Ages 2 and Up : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Quite pleased - UPDATE 2 summers later - even more pleased! - UPDATE: 2 summers now we've had this and it's been excellent. No rips, tears, pulled seams, etc. I have knee issues, so when I sit in it to play with the dogs, I do use a corner to help me stand back up. Right at the corner it has been sturdy enough to feel confident it won't break on me (just be careful you don't wiggle it too much while using it to help you stand, that may make a difference). Both our dogs are medium-large-ish. Both are Plott Hound mixes, but one is shorter and solid (mixed with Staffordshire), about 38 lbs, and the other is taller and lanky (mixed with b.lab) about 50 lbs. The taller one likes to run over the pool.. as in she'll be running in the yard towards the pool, and run right thru it out the other side. On her way in she makes it a kind of pounce to splash more water. It's really cute, but I mention because I think it speaks to durability. Running thru like she does, her nails could easily tear the material if it was cheap, and this thing has stood up so well to that I've been impressed. We've had no leakage issues either with the material or the drain. It's still functioning well (I do empty and change the water about once a week in the summer). So even more happy with this than we were in the beginning. -------------------------------------- Original review: Ours arrived quickly; it was yellow, not the blue pictured, but I like that better anyway. We have 2 doggies and got it for them. Husband put it together by himself with no issues, but he said the corners can be a little stubborn. The material is excellent - not too slippy when I splash around with the doggies in it, and it doesn't feel like their nails are gonna be a problem with it. We put it on our back deck since our yard is all a slight slope, but having read other reviews, we took the precaution of situating the drain at a space in the boards. It drains slower than it might on land, but that's not a problem for us. It's pretty sturdy - I wouldn't suggest an adult use the frame for getting up/down, but I feel quite confident that a child below age 8 or so could safely use it for support. It's also got a padded sleeve you put on the PVC before you run the actual pool material on it, makes it a little softer for children. We've only had it a week so I can't speak to its lifespan but it doesn't feel like cheap materials at all.
Review: Perfect pool for our ducks. Pictures in review. Updated! - This makes an excellent pool for our two ducks, due to the height of one foot, and it being 4 foot square. My husband plumbed it so we can empty it every day and refill it easily with a hose. The corner bottom drain plug that comes with it is very small and weak, so replacing it was a must. This pool has withstood a lot from us as we built our duck coop around it, stepping inside it, scrubbing it, etc. It seems pretty durable, but we did go ahead and buy a spare, since our entire coop design kind of depends on this pool. The ducks love it! It was easy to put together and is pretty high quality, except for the small drain plug on the corner. So far we highly recommend! Update: July 2, 2017 This pool is still in great shape and easy to clean (with vinegar). We ended up redoing the drain plug with a better drain system. It didn't tear when we took off the old one and it withstood all of the twisting of the new plug to get it setup. The ducks have access to their pool 24/7 and love it! We empty it daily and despite hard playing by two happy ducks, this pool keeps going strong. (Knocking on wood).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kiddies pool
*by E***A on July 27, 2026*

This is my second pool. I had the first one when my daughter was little and it lasted almost 10 years, 4 kids, whole being stored outside. Tragically it ripped but this pool is super durable. Very easy to drain. Highly recommend. Only suggestin os put together inside not in the sun is learned the hard way!!
