In the summer cooling down and having fun in a pool is a favourite pastime of
many. However, not many people have a yard that is big enough for a swimming
pool so an inflatable paddling pool is a great alternative.
Not only are they a lot cheaper than a swimming pool but they are also more
flexible in where you can place them and of course you can take them down when
they are not needed.
For children choose paddling pool. These don't take up a lot of room and you can
get them branded with your kid's favourite TV or cartoon characters. Some come
with attachments like water sprayers and you could also add some inflatable toys
and balls for even more fun. Also available are pools with shades to keep your
children out of the glare of the hot sun.
For older kids and adults much larger pools are available. Some of these have
rigid sides rather than being inflatable and are known as above ground swimming
pools and are big enough for the whole family to enjoy.
When choosing your inflatable paddling pool you firstly need to consider the
size and make sure you have space outdoors to put it as well as somewhere to
store it in the winter months. Make sure it is made from a durable fabric and
has reinforced layers. Most pools will come with a puncture repair kit.
These pools, generally referred to as above ground pools, are now offered in a
range of sizes from several major global brands. Two of the most well known are
Bestway and Intex. They have a selection of pools which range from the shallow
8ft diameter pool right up to deep pools over 20ft long. Shapes are slightly
limited but are on the increase. Currently round, oval, square and rectangular
pools are the norm. Most of these shapes can be found in both of the two most
popular styles of above ground pool. These are the metal framed pools where the
pool is situated in a metal frame. These pools can often be left up all year
round and are the more robust type of pool. The other style has an inflatable
ring around the top of the pool. This is inflated prior to filling. It acts as a
float on the water and ensures that the top pf the pool stays above the water
line. Both of the brands mentioned above also offer a hybrid of the two types of
pool. Usually this hybrid can be found in !
the oval shaped pools. The larger pools are effectively as big as the in ground
equivalents that many people would install if they could afford them.
You will also need to buy a pump to inflate the pool with and you may want to
consider a cover so that you can leave the water in your pool without it
becoming contaminated.
Remember that safety is of the utmost importance where children and water is
concerned. Always make sure and adult is near when children are playing in your
pool. And follow the instructions that come with your inflatable pool to make
sure it is constructed properly.
