BUT it says just what you need/want help with! So long as it fits then it is good to go! I am heading there now!
Great buy. I got a 15' intex on clearance at the end of season at academy for $74. It's sitting in my garage waiting to be put up this spring.
Oddly enough, the pool I bought is back to $979. When I bought it the $979 was the original and it was a "rollback" to $399.
Crazy how it fluctuates, you bought at just the right time.
Metal prism frame.WOW!! What a deal! Was it an Intex metal frame pool or one of the “Easy Set” pools with the ring on top? I’m jealous!
That is crazy. Really lucky that you saw it when you did!Crazy how it fluctuates, you bought at just the right time.
That depends on if it's the Ultra Frame or the Ultra XTR Frame (it's supposed to be the XTR). I've seen the hit or miss rusting on the Ultra Frame, but the Ultra XTR Frame coats both the inside and outside of the tubes. The Ultra Frame only had the outside of the tubes coated. My guess is this is in response to the rusting issues.Are you planning to do anything to deter rust before setting it up? It seems rust is a hit or miss issue with these pools.
I just wanted to say that your post cracked me up. Because we have been going through the Exact. Same. Thought process. Lol.Just the statistical odds of the metal walled pool lasting several times longer. Chances are you will only do it once instead of 3 or 4 times.
Definitely get quotes for the deck before hand. Lumber is expensive and if you are paying somebody to do it, very labor intensive and time consuming. We set out to do a ABG with a wrap around deck and the deck and fence put us into the IG pool price range and I refused to spend $18-$20k on an ABG project. We literally went out to buy a $3k pool. Which we upgraded to bigger pool for $6k including installation. Which turned into almost $20k including the deck and fence. So i decided to spend said $20k on a IG pool Which we upgraded to a bigger, better equiptment, heated, salt $36k pool, which still needed a patio and a fence. Which is how i blew $60k on my $3k pool project. But i'll never have to replace it so i have that going for me, which is nice.
