Skink Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 with the school strike and nice weather the kids want a new paddling pool today - looking at an Intex 8ft like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intex-Easy-Swimming-Garden-Paddling/dp/B007RUUF6A/ref=pd_sim_k_h_b_cs_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0QDFKV6GETCTBTXY22YV but it would have to be set up on decking. The deck was professional built with 6"x2"joists at 18" centres and seems plenty strong - any thoughts or experience out there? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alternageek Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I wouldnt put that on decking, you would ruin the pool in no time. It needs to be on grass with sand underneath to make the most out of the pools lifespan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francypants Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Just another thing to think about, these pools take hours to fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
