Features, pros and cons
Among such a large assortment, it can be very difficult to choose a pool for your country house. Some talk about the advantages of inflatable structures, others - that it is best to choose frame options. It is rather difficult to compare these two types, because a large frame pool differs from the usual inflatable ones and has its own characteristics.
Frame pools are designed very simply: first, a metal frame and a bowl are installed, and then they are covered with a strong film.
Such products are more stable, which means that they can be supplemented with any accessories: slides or stairs. In addition, it is not at all necessary to put it just on the grass or on a special platform. The device makes it possible to immerse the product in the ground, which means that this option can be compactly mounted even in the smallest area.
When choosing a pool, you should familiarize yourself with all its advantages and disadvantages. Now on the market there are a wide variety of models, the sizes of which can reach 10 meters. Let's start with the main advantages of such products.
- Life time. Such structures last longer than inflatable counterparts, the average duration is 10 years.
- Stability. Equipped with universal bowls that are equally resistant to UV rays and frost. Owners do not need to worry about seasonal dismantling and malfunctions.
- Strength. The base of the product is very strong, the metal frame will not bend under the weight of a person, and it will be quite difficult to fall out of the water.
- Ease of operation. The frame is easy to disassemble and pack if necessary.
- Wear resistance. Most often, polyester is used for the film, it perfectly withstands mechanical damage.
- Diversity. The number of presented models of frame pools will help you choose the best option for any request.
Another notable plus is the relatively inexpensive cost of the tanks.
But there are also disadvantages.
- Mounting. While it is easy to disassemble and assemble the pools, due to the size of the parts it can be difficult to do it alone, so you may need help in the process.
- Completeness. For convenient operation, special filters, pumps, ladders and other accessories are required. They do not always come with the main parts, and therefore you will have to buy them yourself.
Dimensions (edit)
The range of frame pools is very wide. There are round, square, rectangular models. In addition, you can make or order a frame even in the shape of a triangle, star or any other asymmetrical shape. You can choose a product with the required parameters:
- the length of the walls varies from 0.6 to 10 m;
- the possible depth is from 0.5 to 3 meters.
This variety allows you to choose the most suitable pool for each family. For example, you can make a small children's pool with a depth of 1 meter or a real sea recreation area by installing a 10-meter water bed. For a small summer cottage, a 3x3 m pool with a depth of about 1.5 m is perfect.You can also order a model with a hydromassage function - this will be a pleasant addition on a hot summer day.
Varieties
Frame pools differ not only in their dimensions and shape, but also in other parameters. The strength of the structure depends on them, as well as the functionality: can the product be disassembled and assembled.
Stationary
These are single systems that do not imply that the installation can be moved somewhere or reassembled. Suitable for permanent use in one area. They are made of durable plastic, so they are frost-resistant and will last a long time. Often all the necessary elements are included with such products, for example, a filter, a pump. And some manufacturers even offer to install them at a certain depth and use them in winter as an ice rink.
Rod
They are easy to assemble and disassemble, but such pools are usually used for small areas, and it is better to clean them for the winter. TSuch models have a special frame - the intersection of horizontal and vertical bars. This helps to add extra strength to the structure. In addition, such options are budgetary among frame products.
Sectional
These designs are very robust and come in all sizes. Some models do not require seasonal dismantling, but most manufacturers recommend assembling the structure during the cold season. Such tanks will last for a long time, and regular disassembly does not affect wear resistance in any way.
In addition to the differences in frame pools by the type of base arrangement, they are also distinguished by the installation method. There are two main types of mounting.
- To a special site. For correct and comfortable operation, it is worth preparing a special flat surface that is suitable for not very deep tanks.
- Installation in a pit. The advantage of such models is that their depth can reach 3 meters, while you can choose not only a convenient option, but also a beautiful one that will perfectly fit into the landscape of the site.
You need to choose the type of frame or installation based on your goals and site characteristics. For example, for permanent use, it is better to install durable pools with a long service life that do not need to be dismantled from season to season.
