Bestway Steel Pro 14 foot Versus old style grey ultra 14 foot

[gillypool]

I currently have an old Intex ultra 14 x 42. It's the perfect size for my family . I would like to replace it but they don't make it anymore.
I am torn between Prism or Bestway steel pro max . I want to know if there is any reinforcement around the pipe holes ? The reason being is that I want to cut them for larger hoses. Intex pools usually do and it is easy to cut through the stronger lining. I worry if there is no reinforcement the liner could split. Any other advice on the prism versus Steel Pro Max would be gratefully received. Cost is not an issue.

Just a thought
Even if the area isn’t reinforced you could always add patches to both sides before/after cutting the holes larger to provide reinforcement.
Another member just bought a bestway pool maybe he can look for u?
