Intex Ultra XTR Heavy Duty Rectangular Above Ground Swimming Pool with Complete Set of Maintenance Kit, Ladder, and Sand Filter Pump, Gray

So, let me start buy saying that this is a BIG pool. I am a female, not athletic as outdoorsy... I set everything up until the point that I needed to stand the sides up, then you must have help. With two people, this would have been a very easy pool to set up. Definitely make sure your ground is level. DO NOT BUILD UP, only take out ground. It will save you a lot of crap. (oh and get the skimmers that clamp on the sides of the pool. They will help!!!

Pool is great. Nice and sturdy. Make sure you have at least 2 people to set up.Shippers, however, dropped pool in the middle of our 1/3 mile paved driveway 50 feet from the highway. Good thing it was heavy enough to keep the casual thief from making off with it!

Not sure it is very sturdy. Had trouble with putting up and once we put up it colapsed and was very scarry for our children. Not sure we are going to feel safe. We have winterized and have not gotten since we put up for the second time. It was a lot of money and we wish we had spent a little more for the sturdier sided pool.

Instructions are a little vague on certain things, but you'll figure it out. Yes, the long sides of the pool will "lean in" while the pool is filling up, we had to look at a video on YouTube to get some ideas and clarifications. We're almost there filling this puppy up, so I will revisit my review, to post a complete review. Wife already went in to test it and she's happy, and if she's happy, I'm good. The ladder?? Come on, Intex!! We've spend good $$ for your products, put something more sturdy for a ladder, this thing is going to injure someone. I will have to build a wood steps and a deck around it to make it look better.

Best purchase ever! We did not dig up the yard, we just rolled it out on the tarp & filled it up. Took 6 people about 2 hours. One end is a little deeper and we jokingly call it the deep end. The ladder is awful. We bought stairs for entrance and exit.

Best bang for your buck. Great pool for the price. It is very sturdy after filled. Use a 2nd or 3rd person and it will make setup easy. When filling the pool the sides will look like it is going to fold in and brake, don’t worry they won’t, when in fills up the sides will straighten out and be fine. We have about 8 gpm water pressure and it took about a day and a half to fill

Amazing!! So happy we got this pool. I was nervous because of the size and maintenance (never had a pool before). It feels like an inground pool when you're in it. We have ours on concrete which is *almost* level and used 16"x16" double pieces of plywood under each leg. So far- it's my favorite purchase I've ever made. Shock it once a week and have a chlorine floater, also purchased a skimmer and robot cleaner.

No where in this description does it state that you need a building permit from your City/Town to put up this pool. It does not even warn to check with City/Town's codes. We dug up our entire yard to put this in and then were issued a stop work order and told by our City building official we need a permit to put up this pool which they later denied. We then tried to return this and it has been an absolute nightmare. BEWARE before buying to see if your city/town requires a permit to install and if they will allow it before purchasing.
