16 best swimming pools for summer cottages

In the hot heat you really want to soak up the cool pool. The best option for a summer residence would be a small inflatable or frame model. It can be easily assembled, installed and also quickly dismantled. Manufacturers offer various options from small in depth and diameter, to roomy, suitable for entertainment by a large company.

We offer a selection of the best pools in four categories: inflatable, frame, rigid and kids. Today, Intex and Bestway are leading in the production of solid and durable models. However, other brands are also included in our rating.

The best inflatable pools

This type of pool is more widespread among users. They are easy to use and store, lightweight, durable, and, if necessary, quite roomy. Some models are suitable not only for splashing, but also for full swimming. We offer a selection of the most successful, in our opinion, solutions in this category.

4 Intex Easy Set 28130/56420

This model will be an excellent solution for summer cottages. It is quite compact, but roomy at the same time. The diameter of the pool is 3.66 meters, which makes it easy to accommodate the whole family. Swimming, of course, will not succeed. But it's easy to cool off on a sultry day. The maximum depth is 76 centimeters, the maximum volume is 5621 liters. The bottom is soft, inflatable.

Pool Intex Easy Set 28130/56420 has received many reviews from satisfied users. According to them, there is simply no better solution for seasonal use at their summer cottage. It pleases with both volumes and a very reasonable price. At the same time, the owners note that the material from which the pool is made is quite durable and it is difficult to damage it, even with some effort. Cons: lack of a water pump and bedding. Some would like to complement the complete set with an awning and a canopy.

3 Intex Easy Set 28144/56930

In the penultimate place of our rating is the smallest (except for children, of course) pool. But you shouldn't discount this model from Intex, because due to its small dimensions it can be placed even on a rather small area. In addition, it costs several times less than its giant competitors. The features of Easy Set include.

• Round shape with a diameter of 366 cm.The depth is 90 cm.
• Lightweight - only 12.9 kg per package (easy to transport).
• The package does not include an awning, a water pump and a deck for the pool, so if necessary, you will have to buy everything separately.

2 Bestway Oval Fast Set 56153

The pool, which is on the second position of our rating, did not reach its top by the very least. And this is not just a beautiful verbal turnover, but a harsh, so to speak, reality. Bestway Oval Fast Set is really only a couple of liters less, a few kilograms heavier and a little more expensive than a thousand rubles. What's so special about him?

• The volume of the contained water is 16.6 cubic meters.
• The presence of a cartridge filter for coarse water purification.
• There is a litter under the pool, which allows you to install it even on an uneven surface.
• The productivity of the complete pump is 3028 l / h, which is almost 2 times less than that of the leader of the rating.

1 Intex Oval Frame 28194/54934/54432

And here is the leader of our rating. Despite the apparent similarity with competitors, this model really deserves the first place. And the whole point is not only in the size and quality materials, but also in the thoughtfulness of the accompanying accessories, thanks to which the model is easy to install and maintain. The features should be attributed.

• The largest dimensions: 610x366 cm with a depth of 122 cm - even an adult can dive in this.
• The presence of the most efficient pump in the rating (5678 l / h), thanks to which filling the pool takes quite a bit of time.
• There is a ladder with which it is easy to climb into and out of the pool.
• The set includes an awning that will protect water from the ingress of foliage and other debris.

The best children's inflatable pools

There is no greater happiness for children than splashing in warm water on a hot sunny day. For young users, manufacturers offer an incredible number of products of various colors and configurations. After all, it is important for them not only the availability of water, but also the game component. In addition, children's pools should be as safe as possible. We offer a selection of the best, in our opinion, proposals in this direction.

4 Bestway Covered Hippo 52218

If the pool does not include the entertainment of a large number of kids, then be sure to pay attention to this model. It is not only safe in all respects, but also has an interesting design in the form of a funny hippo. The diameter of the water bowl is only 112 cm, it can hold no more than 40 liters of water. In this case, the depth is no more than 15 centimeters. Everything you need for a fun and safe water adventure for your toddler.

The design does not provide for the presence of a canopy or awning, but thanks to the interesting design it is possible to protect the child from the scorching sun. It is enough to turn the pool in the right direction. The soft inflatable bottom adds comfort. Among the disadvantages: small capacity, no more than two babies can splash, relatively low mobility due to weight (13.8 kg). Otherwise, the Bestway Covered Hippo pool deserves a place among the best solutions for children.

3 Intex Aquarium 58480

Penultimate in the ranking, but far from the worst pool. Yes, there are no all kinds of slides and sprayers, but it costs less than two thousand rubles! The design also deserves attention - it is not just multi-colored stripes of fabric, but a rather interesting pattern, looking at which children will also spend a lot of time. The features of Intex Aquarium are worth mentioning.

• Fully inflatable body including bottom - this pool will keep its shape better and the soft bottom will reduce the risk of injury.
• Sufficient depth for older children to dive.
• The smallest package weight is only 3.37 kg.

2 Intex Mushroom Baby 57114

One of the best solutions for the smallest water lovers. He is truly perfect in every way. First, the minimum weight and ease of assembly. Together with the packaging, the pool weighs only 1.5 kg. It is convenient to transport and install. Moreover, parents can carry the model with them and change the location as many times as they want. Secondly, there is a canopy from the sun, the child will be protected from heatstroke, which is also important. Thirdly, the pool has a soft inflatable bottom, and its depth is only 13 cm. Even the smallest child can have fun and safely.

Parents will also be pleased with the cost of Intex Mushroom Baby. It is the cheapest in our selection. The only drawback, if it can be considered as such, is that the model is suitable for playing by children under 3-4 years old. The rest will be small and cramped (model diameter 101 cm). And also the soft bottom requires a flat surface for installation.

1 Intex Rainbow Ring Play Center 57453

Finally, the first line of our rating is occupied by a rather interesting pool from the already well-known company "Intex". This model is not as monstrous as we would like, but at the same time it still has a slide, albeit a small one, as well as several interesting game elements. In addition, due to the shallow depth, even 3-4 year old children can play safely in such a pool. Finally, a price that won't be burdensome for parents. Other features include the following.

• The rigid bottom of the pool - allows you to install it even on an uneven surface, and children will not just be pierced like that.
• There is a water spray.
• Very light package weight (only 7.4 kg) - easy to assemble and transport to a new location.

The best frame pools

These pools belong to the category of demountable mobile structures. They are easy to store and do not require much space. At the same time, they are more demanding in installation; they cannot cope with the installation of a frame model alone.This is the option that is installed at the beginning of the season and removed at the end, unlike an inflatable, it is not so easy to carry with you, but in general it is possible. We bring to your attention the best, in our opinion, pools in the current category.

4 Intex Metal Frame 28200/56997

Those who want to buy a solid roomy pool, but at the same time save money, can appreciate the Intex Metal Frame 28200/56997. It has a round shape and a diameter of 305 cm. Taking into account the depth of 76 centimeters, the model will be a good solution for family use in the country. The biggest plus is the price of the pool, excellent water entertainment will go to the owner for only 5-6 thousand. The design is easy to assemble, if desired and with proper skill, you can do it alone. Despite the budget option, the kit includes a pump with a filter.

The owners claim that the base material is very durable. The only advice is to use a pool stand to strengthen the bottom. And immediately buy a cover or awning to avoid excess debris. Intex Metal Frame has a maximum of positive reviews and great popularity among users. It takes a worthy place in our rating of the best.

3 Summer Escapes P20-1252

If you want to install a spacious and deep pool for diving on the site, then be sure to pay attention to this model. The diameter of the round structure is 3.66 meters, and the depth is as much as 132 cm. This is the largest figure among the products of the current category. The volume is 11,900 liters, which is very solid and will take a lot of time to fill. But on the other hand, in such a pool a company of adults will comfortably accommodate. In addition, users note the opportunity to buy a thicket without additional accessories, which will reduce costs.

Of the minuses, the owners distinguish a thin bottom. For durable use, a site should be prepared for installing the structure. The rest of the frame model deserves a place among the best, especially given the very affordable cost. If necessary, the owners can adapt the accessories of the previous pools for it.

2 Bestway Steel Pro Frame 56088

Of course, Steel Pro Frame can be called compact only in relation to other frame pools from this rating. Nevertheless, this model is suitable for those who have only a small installation area. The depth, by the way, did not suffer, so you can safely dive in this "baby". What else is special about this pool?

• Smaller than the competition, the volume of water - a little less people will fit, but the maintenance costs will be less.
• The presence of an awning to protect water from debris. It will allow you to clean the water or replace it much less often.
• Insufficiently efficient pump included in the kit. When using it, pumping the pool will have to spend almost 5-plus hours.

1 Intex Metal Frame 28236/54946

And again in the first position, albeit with a minimal margin, is the model from Intex. The main advantage of the model is quality. Yes, the price of the pool is a little more expensive because of this, but it's worth it. Other advantages include:

• High performance of the supplied pump (3785 l / h) - to fill a volume of almost 17 cubic meters, even it has to work for about 4 hours.
• The presence of a mat under the pool, which protects the bottom from eruption, for example, sharp stones.
• The set includes a ladder with which it is more convenient to use the pool.

Best Hard Pools

This is the sturdiest pool option. Often, such bowls are dug into the ground, thereby creating conditions for all-season use. Since the climate in our country does not allow the latter, the structure is idle in the winter season. At the same time, manufacturers use materials that are resistant to temperature extremes and allow them not to dismantle the pool during the cold season. This model is stronger, more durable, roomy and has a wide range of accessories. However, you should be prepared for the highest price for such pools.

4 Atlantic Pools Esprit-Big (7.3 × 1.32 m)

The largest and most expensive pool in our ranking.It has an oval shape and a prefabricated structure. This pool is ideal 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. Installing the model requires about 50 square meters of free space, so it is not suitable for every suburban area.

The model has excellent equipment: ladder, water pump, scrimmer, sand filter. The pool can easily withstand temperatures down to -20 during the conservation period. Of the minuses, cost should be highlighted. But it should be borne in mind that for this money the owner will receive a model in which two people can easily compete in swimming speed. Therefore, we do not hesitate to list Atlantic Pools Esprit-Big among the best rigid pools.

3 Bestway Steel Wall Hydrium Poseidon 56574/56285

This model, in fact, stands out a little against the background of competitors. More? No, perhaps a little deeper with a similar diameter. Maybe it's cheaper? And then a miss - even a little more expensive. Nevertheless, this model has a right to exist.

• The depth is almost 15 cm deeper when compared to models of the same diameter.
• There is a ladder for more convenient use.

2 Azuro 400DL

Most rigid pools have one major drawback - they do not tolerate temperature changes and will certainly not survive the harsh winter. The Azuro model is an exception. Thanks to the special materials of the body, this pool can be safely left unassembled in winter. Here are some other advantages the 400DL has.

• The possibility of digging into the ground is both more aesthetically pleasing than a prefabricated pool sticking out on the surface, and easier than digging and arranging a full-fledged reservoir.
• The presence of a skimmer - a device that floats on the surface and collects debris.
• The presence of a sand filter that produces high-quality water purification.

1 Bestway Hydrium Splasher 56386

This model will delight the user with an impressive volume, excellent equipment and affordable cost. For 28-29 thousand rubles, the owner will receive a strong bowl with a diameter of 4.6 meters and a depth of 90 centimeters. This pool will easily accommodate a group of adults. The bowl comes with a ladder, bedding, repair kit and a water pump with good performance (2006 liters per hour). But it should be borne in mind that it will take at least 6 hours to completely fill the pool.

The construction is strong and stable, the walls are made of one-piece steel sheets with a thickness of 0.4 mm. It is suitable for digging in, while it does not require concreting and additional preparation of the pit. Quickly assembled and disassembled if necessary. The drain valve allows you to connect a garden hose and drain the water wherever you want. In our opinion, the Bestway Hydrium Splasher pool is undoubtedly one of the best in its category for most parameters.
