    Best deal on Volley Ball/basket ball sets?

    The wife and kids gave me a volleyball set for Father's Day yesterday and I am not really happy with it. I am instead going to mount 2 PVC poles in the ground (1 1/2 inch since I have some old ones just laying around) fill them with regular old sand. Screw some eye hooks to them. Then I will...

    Is National Pool Wholesalers a reputable company?

    So far very happy. Although they are not in the pool yet, only assembled and sitting in my family room but they should be headed out the door to go into the pool tomorrow. I should add all parts and pieces were there and everything was in good condition even though FedEx obliterated the boxes...

    Favorite "toys" - ie floats, noodles, forts, hoops, etc ...

    Yeah that would be a bit much for our 27' AGP. Noodles are always a hit and Goggles are a requirement. They have the splash bombs and love throw them at each other and we have a bunch of dive sticks (the kids love these). I am going to look at the toypedo. Anyone have one of these? Gets...

    So now that we have this new monster in our backyard I was wondering what type of toys you guys all enjoy in your pool (other than the beer and the ladies :wink: ) Bear in mind we have an 8 year old and a 10 year old Greg

    Covers -- any particular brand or are they all the same?

    Thanks for the input on the covers. I didn't realize there was a difference in the winter covers. Guessing I need the micromesh style as we do get some snow and ice each year (this year was really bad) here in VA. I did order a 12 mil Clear cover this AM from Solar Covers.com as they sent me...

    Covers -- any particular brand or are they all the same?

    Well really solar and winter. The winter cover we got with our pool actually has some holes in it so we actually need to replace it. Greg

    Is National Pool Wholesalers a reputable company?

    Thought I would pop in here really quick after reading this thread. I did not see this before I order a set of Biltmore steps from them on Sunday. Once I read this later on I got really worried. Well my steps came yesterday and seem just fine. I'll get them unpacked and put together...

    Buying a Solar Cover that is 1' too big .. bad idea?

    I have chance to buy a new solar cover locally for $25. Problem is my pool is 27' round and the cover is for a 28' round ... would this "extra" amount be a real problem? Would it be a problem if I decided later to get a reel for the cover also? Greg
