CT-7575: This pool is very difficult to assemble bottom track has very little depth causing the walls to frequently pop out during assembly. If you do not plan on assembling the wall and top all at once the pool is very weak and will pop out of track if left alone. I was able to assemble this correctly and it feels sturdy now but I am skeptical that this will hold up over winters or for any prolonged length of time. I am hoping to be wrong about that. I'll update this next year to comment how it held up through the winter

Andrew Monahan: It’s a beautiful pool, and it wasn’t too hard to assemble. But you just need to understand that it needs to be, and I mean completely, windless day. Any unexpected breezes can really muff things up. Also, you really need to have like at least four people. Five would be better. Just to hold the walls up wall your unraveling to spool of pool wall around in circles, and holding it in place in the track.

Also, and this is important, when spreading out the liner and bringing it up to the pool lip, pay attention that all lines are even, so that it’s not lopsided. Sounds obvious, doesn’t it. Yeah ok, you’ll see, lol. Also, when pulling that liner around, if the sun is out, it is rapidly absorbing heat and will stretch. Be careful. Slow and steady wins the race. You’re going to get impatient and just want to get it done. If you do and you overlook a fold or a crease or misalignment, you’ll just have to do twice the work later to correct your mistake. So slow your roll there speedy and do it right the first time. It’s worth it.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: The material is built well, sturdy and I'm confident it will last for many years. The installation is extremely tedious. The first try we failed and had to recoil the wall and take it all down. My advice would be to not insert the bottom track rails all the way into the footings and then uncoil the wall and shrink the circumference of the track and footings to make the ends of the wall meet up. It's a two person job, minimum and still took about 8 hours. This is without dirt work. I hired someone to pour a 17' diameter perfectly round and smooth concrete slab for the foundation. If you install on concrete, use 4'x8' insulation board instead of sand, in the bottom. Buy a rhino liner for the top of the insulation board and definitely buy cove. Good luck.

Rory Clarke: There are a lot of problems I have with this pool. 1) When you order it, you only get the pool and the frame. Nothing else. You have to buy the liner, ladder, filter, skimmer, etc... all separately. 2) it is nearly impossible to find a skimmer that is designed for this pool. The directions do not specify which skimmer to order with this pool. 3) Another issue with the directions is they are not specific to the size of the pool you order. The directions do not clarify what each step is based on the pool size. If I could go back, I would not order this pool and if you are considering it, I would recommend you buy a pool that includes all of the accessories needed and pay to have it installed. Installation is possible and if you follow the directions you should be okay, but it isn't easy.
