If you have a few meters of flat area in the garden, and for any reason cannot go to a pool or a beach, check this list with best extra large inflatable swimming pools for adults and kids, and install one in the garden.
Normally, there are many inflatable swimming pools on the market, and these items have been around for years. But I am writing this text in the time when most of the world is under lockdown due to coronavirus and this is reflected in the supply of these items on the market.
So if you go to Amazon or any other bigger seller you will realize that, although there are many of the pools displayed, most of them are ‘currently unavailable’. This is related also to the sellers’ policies to deal primarily with products that are essential in the time of such a crisis.
But in any case, we have managed to find some that are still available, so the list presented here includes the swimming pools that you can order, at liest as of the moment of writing this text.
These are remarkable structures and you will see them described also as Inflatable Top Ring Swimming Pools, and the meaning is that only the top ring, which you will see in the pictures, is inflatable. The rest is just a soft material. Such a pool is slightly wider on the bottom and the wall is angled inward and this is what keeps the pool up when you inflate the ring and fill the pool with water.
Great packed size
I guess this is one of the best features you have with the pools of this type. They pack so small that this is hard to believe. How small? So here is one example from the items in the list below:
- See these numbers: the diameter 15 ft (457 cm), the depth 36 inches (91 cm), and yet the packed size is only 30 x 30 x 11 inches (76 x 76 x 28 cm). The pool weighs only 52 lb (23.6 kg).
So when the season is over, you pack the pool and store somewhere in the shed, it will not take much space. Even if you transport it in the car to your country house and back, this is very doable.
Note that some of them have covers or you can order them separately so you can keep such a pool in place for the bigger part of the year and keep the water clean and safe.
Easy to use
As you realize from the example above, this pool is still light enough to be handled easily to take it from your garden shed or garage and to install in the garden. Such a large pool you can have ready in 10-20 minutes only. All you need to have is a piece of flat area in the garden and a garden hose ready.
How much water do you need
Take again the same example as above, the pool with 15 feet diameter. Its official water capacity is 2640 gallons (10000 liters).
How to make such an inflatable swimming pool ready
Here is a manual that comes with one of the pools from the list. They are built more or less in the same way, and the procedure is very similar, so please have a look.
In this video you can see a bit more, please have a look, this is a smaller pool so you will get some idea of how easy it is to have it ready:
In the case of a larger inflatable pool, see how it looks, a bit more work but this is a giant structure:
So here is our list of best extra large inflatable swimming pools for adults and kids. These pools are currently among the best selling items of this type at several big online sellers. The pools are listed by the depth from 30 inches (76 cm) and above. The size is in the range 12 – 18 ft (366 – 550 cm), and this means diameter because you have round items here, so these are among the largest inflatable pools currently on the market.
