Cost less than $2k all set up with marquee and comes down over winter. No fence needed and legal too due to height. Portable is a plus. The boy wanted a swim today and couldn't get his head around it taking 24 hours to get it ready for swimming. That's flamin 4 year olds for ya. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/8212/#findComment-1613357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a few months when it's over 45 degrees and you'll change your tune. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/8212/#findComment-1613376 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather no pool at all. Definitely have to agree with ya there when there still above the ground. Mums is paved all the round and a 3.5m x 8m pool plus we got council approval to have no fencing around the pool, just auto close systems on all exit doors out to the pool. Door handles raised as well. Myself I love the old 80's - 90's concrete pools. Or a big fibre glass one. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/8212/#findComment-1613380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
