So our Intex 15' round UltraFrame rotted out after 2 seasons. My plan was to get a 16' XTR for this year, but there are none to be found anywhere. I also cant find stock of any other brands like Bestway, Summer Waves, or Coleman. I did find one super basic blue/white Intex 15 ', but thats about it. I've contacted support from all the companies and they wont give any info on supply issues... Any ideas? The only ones I can find online are from VM Innovations and they are charging double what they normally cost.
Source for new Frame pool?

I think your best bet will be to drive to the local Walmarts and see what they have for in store pick up. I did a little searching and couldn't find any of the usual places shipping pools right now.

I've come up against the exact same supply issue. After searching online yesterday (5/1) for more time than I care to admit, I found this option for a Bestway Power Steel Frame Pool 14f x 48in for $354.

newegg.com -- of all places -- has several of this size range of frame pools, from VMExpress, but wow, at 3x the cost. Nonetheless, take a look at newegg for some options. In the end, because I'm out of the country at the moment, and am pretty sure 14 feet is pushing it for my backyard at home without some signifcant prep work, I opted for an Intex 10f x 30in easy set for under $100 (took a LOT of looking) from Kmart online, which has apparently shipped already. I just looked and that option no longer seems available. I wonder if supply will rebound as summer begins.
No sig yet. Just know we'll need at least that Intex wading pool for late May onward in Austin, TX

What is going on with Intex? I cant find a 16 or 18 foot xtr pool anywhere in Canada either.
Fairly certain everyone and anyone putting up Intex pool this year since public pools closed due to covid.

I'm sure the manufacturing has been shut down, and stores are focusing on ordering essential goods.
