Hi, we have just got our 12ft selfset pool out as the weather is nice and have found that mice have knawed a 4 inch hole in the top bit that you inflate.
Has anyone succesfully repaired a hole this big, (the patches they supply are too small) and if so, what materials and glue did you use?
Thanks

    Sorry for us it was cat claws. We kept fixing the holes but there always seemed to be more so changed to a 12ft frame (managed to find a bargain online). Good luck hope you can rescue yours

    The pool we had previously got punctured by the cat. Our 4 yr old daughter thought the cat looked hot so she threw it in the pool. Several puncture holes as it exited.

    If it was mine I'd use araldite and mouse or cat skin as appropriate
