    the only thing with the easy up pools is that cats like to climb on the edge to get a drink and end up puncturing it! that's what happened to ours, we have opted for the steel frame one this time - got a 15 ft one from woolworths a while back for £65 delivered RRP £400.

    Obviously if you don't have a problem with lots of cats in your garden like i do, it's a great find :D and if you have a smaller garden, there's this one http://www.woolworths.co.uk/web/jsp/product/index.jsp?pid=51613654

  • for those of you without a huge garden. i just brought a 12 foot steel framed pool for £20 if you look under pools it comes up at £80 but when you checkout it goes down to £20. Bargain :j

  • Don't forget quidco at 4.5%. Mine tracked 4.5% of the price before the 75% discount was taken off, so

    £11 quidco for the 18ft pool
    £3.60 quidco for the 12ft pool

    Costs of filling with a water meter,

    18ft £33!
    12ft £12
    Next year we'll be millionaires!
