The cold season is almost over. Although there is still some remnants of cold rain here and there, one could really feel the heat starting to rise. My kids are jumping at this opportunity to pester me to take their inflatable swimming pool (currently deflated and squeezed inside a box) from storage for a chance to soak in water the whole day. Well, with summer just a few weeks away, I might as well oblige.
The first one I bought for them was not inflatable and I found out too late that my son could barely fit inside if he stretched himself out. Well, they really didn't mind at all. The only problem was I made the mistake of laying the pool directly on concrete, barely sweeping small debris underneath. Stone particles eventually made their marks on the pool's plastic surface. After a few days of use leaks started to appear, which eventually grew to rips with water gushing out.
When I finally bought a really big inflatable pool I made sure that no rips nor tears will occur this time. I secured the base with plywood then overlayed it with linoleum. I made sure no part of the pool touches concrete or anything that could cause any damage to the pool. Well, it worked and my kids couldn't be any happier. I couldn't be any happier.
Unless they ask for a full-sized swimming pool next time!
