Relaxing at a summer cottage for those who are not a fan of growing and harvesting crops is only so much fun. And when in the heat there is no opportunity to plunge into cool water, it becomes doubly sad. And children don’t want to go to places where the only entertainment is helping adults with agricultural work. The appearance of a swimming pool will change the situation and become a strong argument in favor of a country holiday.
For suburban areas, two types of artificial reservoirs are more suitable: inflatable and frame. Both are good in their own way. Before you make a choice which pool is better - frame or inflatable, you need to consider both options.
Inflatable pools
Made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. There are two types:
- inflatable - consisting of ring-boards inflated with air;
- liquid - have only one ring, which is inflated with air, rises when filled with water and supports the walls of the bowl.
Pools come in different geometric shapes, volumes and depths. The most popular are round ones. Rectangular ones take up more space, which is not suitable for everyone. Large-volume models are equipped with a repair kit, pump and filtration system. If the height of the sides is more than 1 meter, you must use a ladder.
Reservoirs are usually located close to the water source: this makes it easier to fill them. You also need a place to drain water so as not to flood yourself and your neighbors.
To decide which pool to choose for your dacha, you need to carefully study all the advantages and disadvantages of inflatable reservoirs.
Summer Escapes Metal Frame
Optimal value for money Country: USA (manufactured in China) Rating (2021): 4.5
Collapsible frame pools of the Summer Escapes series have a predominantly round shape, a small diameter, but good depth. For example, new products for 2021, with a width of 2.44 m, reach a height of 76 cm. This ensures comfortable rest for the whole family, even in very limited space. The design of the models is very simple, so they are quickly assembled (about 20 minutes). Three layers of polymer are used as the material of the bowl. The frame posts have a metal coating. The drain valve is connected to the garden hose.
Pools of the Metal Frame series have an optimal price. A small model will cost only 4,900 rubles. An important difference between the brand’s products is that the kit does not include a ladder, pump and other important accessories. The manufacturer provides a 3-month warranty on all pools. They are seasonal and are dismantled for the winter. The advantages include excellent value for money, easy assembly, convenience, above average height and positive reviews. Cons: the kit does not include extras. accessories.
Children's inflatable ponds
Small children are the biggest fans of water treatments. Small and shallow models of various shapes and bright colors are produced for them. Before purchasing, you need to clarify which children's pool is best suited for your child, taking into account his age. Children under 2 years old will be comfortable in a round “bathtub” with sides up to 30 cm high and a water level of 20 cm. It is advisable that the bottom is also inflatable: this way the baby will not hit himself if he falls. For children under 3 years old, a pool with a depth of up to 50 cm is suitable. And for children from 4 to 7 years old, the water level should not exceed 70 cm. The bottom should be flat, level and non-slip. Children over 7 years old can already swim in a pond deeper than 1 meter with adults.
Which pool is better for children and more convenient for parents in terms of use? Here you need to take into account several nuances. If children are constantly at the dacha, you don’t want to deflate it and inflate it again every day. With no storage space when inflated, large sizes are very inconvenient. Children's pools do not have a filtration system. Water can remain in its pure form for a maximum of 2 days, and therefore it needs to be constantly changed. Large volume can cause problems if there is no drain valve. Therefore, the answer to the question of which pool is better in size is obvious. The compact water reservoir will bring joy to kids and relieve parents from additional troubles.
Depth and volume
For adults, a bowl with a depth of about 1.44 m or higher is optimal. Children's water structures should be selected and purchased depending on age:
- A depth of up to 0.5 m is suitable for preschoolers;
- For older children, it is worth purchasing a structure from 0.8 to 1.4 m.
When choosing, you need to take into account not only the size of the pool, but the capacity of the reservoir. The more people will be in the pool, the larger the area and depth of the pools should be.
Types of frame reservoirs
- The frame consists of plastic or metal hollow pipes of small diameter (rods). Using fasteners, the vertical and horizontal posts are attached to each other and to the bowl. The result is a round pool of small volume and depth. It is designed for a water volume of approximately 7 tons and is most suitable for children under 12 years of age. Larger models of this type have a durable steel frame, a three-layer bowl and additional means to maintain shape around the entire perimeter.
- For a rectangular structure, plastic or metal sheets with a special coating are used. They are inserted into the side walls of the bowl and attached to the vertical and horizontal elements of the frame frame. For reliability and stability, metal supports can be used.
- Round or oval models of large volumes can have hard sides. In this version, the frame consists of upper and lower hoops assembled from parts. These hoops have grooves for inserting plastic or metal sheets. They are fastened together and form the walls of the pool. A PVC bowl is attached to the sides from the inside. The material for such sides can be in the form of a whole roll and unwind as it is installed. Some manufacturers of such models produce material for the sides in original colors - wood or marble. For greater stability, ponds with rigid sides can be partially immersed in a pre-dug shallow pit.
Before starting assembly and installation, you should read the included instructions very carefully. Some manufacturers have it on DVD, which is very convenient.
For those who do not want to interrupt their summer season because of such a “little thing” as the onset of winter, it is advisable to take this into account when installing a pool. If its dismantling is not planned, then the model must be frost-resistant. Which pool withstands winter better and how does it differ from its other counterparts? Round and oval metal structures can withstand the cold without any problems. They differ from the “heat-loving” ones in having thicker sides and a bowl. Frost-resistant reservoirs can be immersed in the ground or located on the surface. In winter, you can make an ice hole in it for “walruses” and even, if you wish, turn the structure into a skating rink. But the pool, no matter how durable it is, is unlikely to withstand temperatures below -25 ° C. Manufacturers warn about this. In areas where such temperatures do not surprise anyone in winter, it is better to dismantle the pool before spring.

Preparing the site
The area for a pool, frame or inflatable, must be level and solid. Otherwise, the structure will not be stable with all the ensuing consequences. The ideal option is a concrete platform, but then the bottom of the pool will need to be insulated. Foam is most often used for this purpose. Pieces of material are fastened together, and the whole canvas is adjusted to the shape of the frame.
Sometimes pools are installed on a low wooden platform or a sand platform is made for it. Before installing any model, lay a backing of waterproof fabric. The exception is a smooth lawn, but for ordinary plots it is very rare. A staircase is installed for entry and exit. The chosen place should be away from trees so that fallen leaves and small dry branches do not fly into the water.
ATLANTIC POOLS ESPRIT-BIG (7.3 × 1.32 M)
The largest pool in the rating Country: Canada Rating (2021): 4.5
The largest and most expensive pool in our rating. It has an oval shape and a prefabricated design. This pool is perfect for recreational swimming due to its dimensions: 7.3 meters long and 3.7 meters wide. The depth of the bowl is 135 centimeters, which will appeal to divers. Installation of the model requires about 50 square meters of free space, so it is not suitable for every summer cottage.
The model has excellent equipment: ladder, water pump, screamer, sand filter. The pool can easily withstand temperatures down to -20 during the conservation period. The downside is the cost. But it should be taken into account that for this money the owner will receive a model in which two people can easily compete in swimming speed. For this reason, we have no hesitation in ranking the Atlantic Pools Esprit-Big among the best rigid pools.
Care and operation
The main condition for proper operation of the pool is its cleanliness. During operation, it is necessary to periodically clean the inner surface with sponges and brushes using disinfectants. For mechanical water purification, filters are used: pumps, skimmers (devices for collecting debris from the surface of a reservoir) and nets. To get rid of dirt on the bottom and walls, you need a special vacuum cleaner. All this suggests that there must be a source of electricity and water nearby. If you cannot change the water often, then you must definitely use chemicals. They help get rid of harmful bacteria and prevent water from blooming. When using chemicals, it is necessary to check the pH level. If there is a deviation from the values of 7.0-7.4, the water should be brought back to normal using special preparations.
When cleaning frame reservoirs, filters must be high-quality and powerful. If the ones included in the package do not cope, it is better to purchase others, preferably sand ones. To protect the water from various debris from the outside, use an awning for shelter. It comes included or can be purchased additionally. When using chemicals, water from the pool should not be used to water the beds. When changing water, you need to pour it somewhere outside the garden.
For the winter period, seasonal models are disassembled, washed with special products and stored dry at a positive temperature. Structures that remain on the site over the winter require careful preparation for winter. If you do not plan to use them as an ice hole or ice skating rink, you need to partially drain the water, place plastic bottles in the remaining freezing water and cover with an awning. Before this, you need to thoroughly clean the water, filters and the pool itself. Be sure to cover.

Selection and purchase
Before you run to a regular or online store and find out which pool is the best, you need to clearly define the criteria for your choice. There may be several of them:
- Inflatable or frame. If you just need a dip in cool water after being in the heat, an inflatable tank is suitable. Those who come to their dacha to relax and unwind or have fun with family or friends need a frame pool.
- Price issue.
- Land area. This factor often becomes decisive when searching for an answer to the question of which pool for a summer residence is better to give preference to.
- Volume and dimensions. Depends on the number of future users.
- Seasonal or frost-resistant.
After weighing all the pros and cons, you can decide which pool is best to choose.
It is clear that no one wants to overpay. Everyone wants high quality at an affordable price. But in order not to throw money away by buying a cheap product from an unknown seller, you should not immediately purchase the first pool you like. It’s better to choose from well-known manufacturers who value their reputation.
Depth of swimming pools for sports
Facilities are built for water polo and other sports that meet established sports standards. The rules of water polo require a depth of 1.8 m; steps and higher seating areas can be provided at the edge of the bowl.
Diving training facilities are at least 4 meters deep - if they are not deep enough, it will be impossible to train in them. The most famous professional swimming pool for divers is 40 m deep and has special facilities reminiscent of underwater caves. Of course, it will not be possible to build such a structure on the site, but you still need to consider the intended uses before construction.
Thus, the choice of the optimal depth depends on the intended use of the swimming pool and the main range of users. Correct calculation and division of the structure into several zones will ensure comfort and safety of swimming; it will be pleasant for both children and adults.

Which pool is best for a summer residence? From the reviews on sellers' websites it is clear that the most popular models are compact and medium-sized.
Bestway has a large selection of frame ponds in round, oval and rectangular shapes. Round pools of the Steel Pro Frame series of various diameters and depths are in demand among summer residents. A tank measuring 305x76 cm costs about 6,000 rubles.
Some people prefer larger dimensions. A 366×100 cm model with a ladder and a filter pump included will cost the future owner 13,000 rubles. For lovers of large pools, a specimen measuring 457x122 cm, equipped with a cartridge filter, water pump, awning and ladder, will suit the price of approximately 35 thousand rubles.
Rectangular and oval designs are more spacious and, accordingly, more expensive. For example, a swimming pool measuring 412x201x122 cm with a ladder and a filter pump costs about 23,000 rubles.
Among the positive aspects, buyers note the strength and lightness of the structures. The disadvantages are still the same: low performance of the filtration system. There are also complaints about the drain hole, which is located slightly above the bottom, so difficulties arise when changing water.
To all this, we can add that the companies Intex and Bestway are among the most famous manufacturers of children's inflatable pools. Bright design, models with slides, toys in the form of animals and plants, fountains and canopies delight not only children, but also parents. Which is better? Reviews about swimming pools for children from these manufacturers are almost all positive, with very rare exceptions.
There are also negative points in owner reviews. They are common to all types of pools. These are additional cash costs for equipment for cleaning the frame and chemicals for water. Although this is more of a necessity than a disadvantage. Without this, you simply won’t be able to use the pool.
People also consider the disadvantage that caring for an artificial pond takes a lot of time and effort.
All these points need to be thought through in advance. If there is no effort and money to keep the reservoir clean, then installing a pool loses all meaning.

So, which is better: a frame pool or an inflatable one? Reviews from summer residents lean in favor of frame ones. They are stronger and more durable. Which frame pool is better? From reviews of the products of the above-mentioned manufacturers, we can conclude that all models find their buyers based on their advantages.
The process of installing an inflatable or frame pool at your dacha will require some effort and additional financial costs, but the pleasure gained from immersing yourself in cool and clean water will pay for everything quickly and many times over.
What is this parameter?
The depth of a frame pool is the distance from its bottom to the top water surface .
This is the actual depth, which depends on how much water the owner has poured into the bowl. However, you can also name the maximum value - this is the height of the side minus 10 cm. The instructions prohibit pouring more.
A special feature of frame pools is that the size of the bowl is not tied to depth. This means that you can buy a pool “for growth”: until the children in the family grow up, do not fill it up to its full height. This will ensure safety for all family members, although it will make entering the water somewhat more difficult.
