I'm actually advertising this for a tarp or pond liner. If you have some patience you could get this thing good to go as a pool. A cat put holes in the blow up ring, I got sick of pumping it up every day or two. Holds water perfectly. I want it gone asap as I bought a new pool. It's going to the dump soon, I'd like to see it stay out of the land fill, it has lots of potential!.
