Reccomendations for a not inflatable paddling pool

[Namechange828492]

My old paddling pool has a leak somewhere and im thinking of getting a new/larger one. Has anyone got one they can recommend?

I was thinking of getting a steel framed/non inflatable one with a lid so i can leave overnight? Non inflatable so more sturdy?

Thanks!

No specific suggestions, but the ones marketed for dogs are rigid (claw proof!) and much more sturdy.

We have a rectangular intex steel framed pool. It lasted 7 years of rough play from my 4 kids.
We bought a replacement this year as the poles had started to go rusty. But I think 7 years of use for about £75 is pretty good.
Would definitely recommend.

Intex or best way unless you got a few grand for like a doughboy.

We have a smaller version of this one that has done about five years.

Just get a decent size dog pool, ours has lasted (kids we don’t have a dog) five years and counting,

Thanks for the suggestions!

We've got an Intex that is up for 4 - 5 months of the year (not in UK) which is really sturdy and looks exactly the same as it did when we bought it 3 years ago. We use a filter, which came with it, and a floating dispenser for chlorine/bromine/salt. That way the water doesn't need changing at all. Obviously there will be fewer days of use in the UK, but still worth considering.

A bubble wrap type cover will really keep the heat in much more efficiently than a 'normal' cover.
