Intex 57172EP 4 Feet x 4 Feet x 12 Inch Mini Frame Above Ground Outdoor Backyard Swimming Pool with Drain Plug and Repair Patch - Colors May Vary

Using this pool to house our 8" turtle. He now has a lot of space to walk/swim around. Plastic is thick and very easy to clean. Plug in one corner offers a convenient way to drain and clean pool.

The media could not be loaded. I got this pool for my ducks to swim in and they love it! It was very easy to put together. You just connect the tube pieces, thread it through the liner and attach the feet. It doesn’t take long to fill either. It has a drainage plug on the bottom and cleans out easily. It hasn’t had any leaks or issues. Overall it’s a great kiddie pool.

Its perfect for my kids, They love it.

I bought this for my dog because the walls of the folding dog pool kept collapsing and finally there was a hole. This time I decided to get a framed pool, it said it was something that could be taken down and put back up and it sounded simple. Also, I saw a lot of dog pics. I read description and decided to order rubber itnerlocking panels to put in the bottom to protect the pool from his paws/claws when he digs in the water. The pool arrived and I was impressed with quality. I saw there were no tools required and thought yes! Then I put it together and the plastic pieces that lock the aluminum rods together are complete junk and kept slipping up and own the pole. I'd finally fight the material to put the rods in place and then have to pull it apart, move the plastic thing and start over. At that point I wished there were tools! I reminds me of my raised dog bed but with that I had to use an allen wrench and put 6 bolts in and it was so easy! This really irritated me. All because they saved money on plastic pieces. I can tell you once you put this together you are not taking it apart. Also, there is no claw protection on the bottom. It's literally like a raft, pure plastic. Nothing to protect it from anything. So I ordered 4x4 feet of rubber interocking pieces and do they work? not really because the frame is 4x4 but the bottom of the pool is 3.6 x 3.6 ish. Now I'm going to have to use my exacto knife to jb weld the floor pieces together because the pool is quite big so i can lift the pool to put it on it's side because there's no way I'm taking it apart. That would be a nightmare and I'll return it before I take it apart. So, the aluminum frame is 5 stars and if you have kids it's padded so that would make me happy, the material is pure plastic, no rip stop, no padding on the bottom, no protection on the bottom. If you have a dog or kids with sharp anything you're likely wasting your money and poluting the environment by buy more than one of these. I wish the company would change the plastic clips that float around to metal that stay in one place OR I would prefer to just bolt the legs on ideally and be done with it. Also, if it says 4x4 at the bottom it should be 4x4 - square, not rounded, square because that's the description. And I would LOVE it if the company made the same thing, but offered an upgrade to rip stop material which I would happily pay for. That would be awesome. So bolts please, and rip stop please. That would be my ideal dog pool.

Got the item, but it was missing parts. Great customers service as they got replacement out quick. Product is as described . Intex products are always good.

UPDATE: 2 summers now we've had this and it's been excellent. No rips, tears, pulled seams, etc. I have knee issues, so when I sit in it to play with the dogs, I do use a corner to help me stand back up. Right at the corner it has been sturdy enough to feel confident it won't break on me (just be careful you don't wiggle it too much while using it to help you stand, that may make a difference).Both our dogs are medium-large-ish. Both are Plott Hound mixes, but one is shorter and solid (mixed with Staffordshire), about 38 lbs, and the other is taller and lanky (mixed with b.lab) about 50 lbs. The taller one likes to run over the pool.. as in she'll be running in the yard towards the pool, and run right thru it out the other side. On her way in she makes it a kind of pounce to splash more water. It's really cute, but I mention because I think it speaks to durability. Running thru like she does, her nails could easily tear the material if it was cheap, and this thing has stood up so well to that I've been impressed.We've had no leakage issues either with the material or the drain. It's still functioning well (I do empty and change the water about once a week in the summer). So even more happy with this than we were in the beginning.--------------------------------------Original review:Ours arrived quickly; it was yellow, not the blue pictured, but I like that better anyway. We have 2 doggies and got it for them. Husband put it together by himself with no issues, but he said the corners can be a little stubborn. The material is excellent - not too slippy when I splash around with the doggies in it, and it doesn't feel like their nails are gonna be a problem with it.We put it on our back deck since our yard is all a slight slope, but having read other reviews, we took the precaution of situating the drain at a space in the boards. It drains slower than it might on land, but that's not a problem for us.It's pretty sturdy - I wouldn't suggest an adult use the frame for getting up/down, but I feel quite confident that a child below age 8 or so could safely use it for support. It's also got a padded sleeve you put on the PVC before you run the actual pool material on it, makes it a little softer for children.We've only had it a week so I can't speak to its lifespan but it doesn't feel like cheap materials at all.

Used this for a whelping box for my labrador. It's so easy to clean out, obviously holds all liquid, and can be disassembled when you're finished with it. It's the perfect height to keep little puppies in, and let mama out when needed.

Perfect for sand pit in backyard.
