Bestway Hydrium Galvanized Steel Wall Above Ground Pool Set 16'5" x 12' x 48" | Semi-Permanent, Year-Round Oval Swimming Pool | Includes Sand Filter, Skimmer, Ladder, Ground Cloth, Cover

My pool is the 52" round. Folks giving the PRODUCT a poor review because the instructions are poor just don't make sense. I almost didn't buy this because of the 3.7 stars, but once you read through the reviews you realize folks aren't complaining about the QUALITY of the pool. The barcode on the front of the instruction manual takes you to a video or search for Round Hydrium Steel Wall Above Ground Pool Setup video. That video certainly over-simplifies, but it shows you one of every step, You just have to repeat it for every stanchion etc. A friend and I took right at 6 hours to have it all put together and filling. Got another hour or two of cutting the skimmer and return hole and hooking up the pump/filter after filling, but the pool is up, looks good and is super sturdy. Disclaimer is that we have installed a pool before and from the day I ordered this, we began preparing/leveling the ground. Things to note: I am not a professional, I'm a Dad/Grandad trying to keep the grandkids happy.- Ground/Site prep is SUPER important! Spend some time at it!- Someone mentioned in a poor review that the skimmer and return hole are not precut. So you could not POSSIBLY line up a precut hole. Even if you lined it up perfectly, the weight of 5000 gallons of water will move it. You want the water level almost at the hole when you cut it so you know the water is holding the liner in that spot forever.- I put a 12" square concrete block under every stanchion. Had to dig down and basically make it flush with the ground. SUPER painful and time consuming process, but worth it for stability.- I won't be using the included ladder, pump or filter simply because I had access to better ones so no feedback on those.- I purchased heavy duty coving (along base of wall in middle pic) and a pad to go under the pool. It comes with a blue tarp, but I wanted a bit of extra protection.- If you order this here, it is going to take a while to get to you. Research, review, watch, read and prepare the ground. It will make your install day(s) so much simpler.Good luck!

It is a great pool we all love it instruction were not great but I manage to get it up with the video no your website

Disappointed with the way they delivered this product.Everything was fallen apart,the box was completely torn apart.There’s a damaged on the wall.Some missing parts.There are some parts that are not related to this product.Very confusing and frustrating without clear instructions.Why there’s no clear instructions which they were showing an easy assemble.I am assuming that this product was a demo it supposed to be sealed not torn apart.

The pool seems sturdy and the installers did not have any issues putting together. The installers had the ground prepped and leveled and pool put up with water filling in it all within 5 hours. Good pool for price. However, this was a replacement because the original pool was damaged in transit.

We purchased this pool when it was on sale for $1279. The instructions are not the best and you have to do a lot of educated guessing and look up videos online for help. Once you get that under your belt it is fairly easy to assemble. There are 2 major flaws with the design. one being the humps or covers that are over the middle stability legs, they sit inside the pool and have metal flat bands you attach that go across the pool. the bands do not sit flat and are a big problem when putting the liner in along with the covers over the bands and legs. The liner is not going to be flat no matter what you do or try, ultimately ending in a few small wrinkles on the bottom of the pool! Considering the size and the price you can't expect top quality really simple. As you add the water the pool walls become very stable and the entire structure solid as a rock! I personally love the pump that came with it, it does a great job and keeps the pool pretty clean. We did invest in a robot cleaner and that combined with the pump does a great job. The size of the pool is perfect and very roomy. Overall if you are not looking to spend $5000 this is a great option and worth the momentary frustration that comes with it.

We love this pool! it looks great for the price and was very easy to set up. I will definitely upgrade the pool pumped when the time comes but it does the job!

This pool was very easy to install. The pump is awesome. Throw a chlorine tablet in and walk away!! The skimmer keeps the pool clean and free of any debris and insects! We've had it approximately 1 month and we are extremely satisfied with everything about this pool!

We bought this as for our entertainment this summer. My family and I have been in the pool everyday. It was relatively easy to set up. It was a fun family project. The size it perfect for our back yard, there werent any holes and the quality is good. It's easy to clean too.
