Product Information

There’s a bit more to the setup process than blowing air through a valve, but once you’ve got the steel frame in place, it’s pretty easy to assemble. There’s a filter and cover included in the price, so you can make it a semi-permanent fixture in the garden for the summer season. Note that, although it states it can be filled in 30 minutes, you’d be wise to allow yourself an hour or so before planning to take a dip. The filter cable cord is also quite short at 1.5m, so you might want to factor in the price of an extension lead to the total cost.

If you’re worried about uneven ground, consider putting a groundsheet underneath. Make the neighbours jealous with this plus-sized pool from Argos. It’s pricier than your average paddling pool, but also deep enough to properly splash around in and great for little ones looking to build confidence in the water (under supervision, of course).

Pop-up pools: Lightweight and easy to whip out at a moment’s notice, pop-up options are simple to assemble and store. They’re not entirely sturdy, though, and you may see water slosh over the sides when leaning against the walls. The Intex 57135NP Dinoland Play Centre is a budget friendly paddling pool with inflatable slide that is ideally suited for 2-6 year olds. With a maximum capacity of 280L up to three younger children can splash and play in this pool.
