Ok so I’m a bit dim especially when it comes to working out measurements, so please help 😄

I usually put a pool out for my dc on our balcony as we have no garden, the one we’ve had for years got caught on a bike and ripped in the winter, so I got them a new one thinking it was the same size and clearly it is too big.
Ive had a look online and seen a round one, but as I’ve explained I’m not very good with knowing sizes.
I don’t have a tape measure so wondering if any of you smart mumsnetters would know just by looking if it will fit before I go and buy it.

The 3 pictures are of the pool I have now and I was going to get a 1.83m round pool from eurocar parts.

thank you

We have this one on our balcony, its 107cm wide, so great for narrow spaces.

I think this one would fit your balcony.....

On a balcony? Filled with water.... is that safe weight wise?

How do you dispose of the water?

This. That much water can weigh a HUGE amount. And how/where will you drain it?!

Have you heard of a drain? Most balconies have them to stop them being flooded in the rain.

Honestly I really didn’t ask anyone for advice on how to drain it, if I should get one or how to drain it.
Clearly you haven’t read my replies and know that I have already sought permission to have one out there.
