Intex Metal Frame build-up pool - rectangular - L260xB160xH65cm

With the Metal Frame build-up pool L260 x B160 x H65 cm (2,282 L) you choose a sturdy & user-friendly pool. This pool has the typical mid-blue color. The three-layer "Super Tough" walls make the pool flexible. The liner consists of a gridded polyester inner layer with a thick PVC outer layer on both sides. The frame is made of sturdy powder-coated steel tubing. So you can enjoy years of splashing fun in a safe & durable way. No accessories are included with this pool, but you can always purchase them separately. This way your splashing experience will only get better! There is a connection (32mm) for a cartridge filter pump .

The rectangular Ultra Metal Frame pools are equipped with child-friendly round corners. These not only provide stability but are also handy to put your drink on while you are floating.

Moreover, the set-up pool is set up in 30 minutes so your family can quickly enjoy a refreshing dip. Not surprisingly, this is a classic among Intex pools. Because of the enthusiastic splashing & the many water games, of course an accident can always happen. That is quickly fixed with the included repair kit!

🙋Tip from poolboy Marcel:
A pool not only provides cooling & fun but also requires maintenance. So keep a close eye on the pool values (pH, chlorine & alkaline values) in order to enjoy your pool safely and as long as possible. Check out our wide range of maintenance products here.

We also recommend these accessories!
- Option (sold separately): Cleaning cartridge filter pump
This pool comes without accessories but we definitely recommend a cartridge filter pump. This will keep the water clear & clean, and you can enjoy a fresh dip every time! Replace the cartridges regularly so that the pump can filter the water optimally. The pool has a filter pump connection of 32mm.

- Option (sold separately): Safety ladder
Swimming & splashing in the water is of course super fun, but at Hermie we choose safety first! A slip happens faster than you think. A sturdy ladder makes it easy and safe to get in and out of the pool. Choose a ladder that folds up or with removable steps so little daredevils can't climb into the pool.

- Option (sold separately): Protective cover
Finished splashing around? Then close the outdoor pool with a cover to keep it nice and clean for your next dip. A cover keeps falling leaves, twigs or other debris out of your clear water. In addition, the water will also cool off less quickly with this cover. The tarp is perforated in the middle so the water does not stay on the tarp. With the nylon drawstring, you can easily attach the cover to the edge of the pool.

Our tip: prevent the cover from sinking into the water & place an inflatable band under the cover on the water.

- Option (sold separately): Pool Heating
Want a pool that is always nice and warm? Then choose pool heating. With a heat pump or mat, you can easily heat the water a few degrees. Put a solar cover on the pool to also keep the water warm longer & let the pool naturally heat up by the sun. This cover has an insulating function and partially protects your pool from dirt. Because the solar cover floats on the pool (and is not fastened over the edges of the pool), dirt can still get into your pool along the sides of the cover. So this is not an alternative to a cover.

- Option (sold separately): Groundsheet
A groundsheet keeps the bottom of the pool clean. This saves you a lot of cleaning work when storing your pool in the fall! Do you want extra protection for the underside of the pool? Then choose floor tiles - suitable for both garden and terrace.


Setting up the Metal Frame
One of the strengths of this pool is that it can be set up in less than half an hour.
The package includes a comprehensive manual that tells you step by step how to assemble the pool (without extra tools). We like to list it for you:

Step 1: Pick a spot with a flat and level surface. Allow at least 1m extra space around the pool for accessories, such as the filter pump.

Step 2: Remove any stones, twigs or other sharp objects that could damage the pool.

Step 3: Provide a solid surface and lay down pool tiles if necessary. Are you using these tiles? If so, dig them in at ground level. If the ground is soft or sandy, the legs may sink, and the frame will not be as stable. Lay down the groundsheet.

Step 4: Spread the liner in the middle of the groundsheet. Place the frame parts in the correct position. Caution: do not drag the tubes or liner to avoid damage. Leave the liner in the sun for a while to make it more flexible, and sprinkle the tubes with talcum powder.

Step 5: Put the horizontal tubes in the sleeve first, then the tees and corner pieces. Last, place the legs & side supports.

Step 6: Check that the step of the water drainage on the inside and outside of the pool are tight. The tension flaps, U-shaped side supports/vertical legs should all be tightened and straight.

Step 7: Fill the pool with 3cm of water to check that the pool is level and has no leaks. The folds on the bottom should be made as smooth as possible. This can be done by pushing the crease from the inside out where the wall & bottom are joined. Do this only with bare feet!

Step 8: Continue filling the pool, correcting the tubes as needed so that the tension flaps are flat and taut everywhere. Do the tubes at your rectangular pool hang inward? Then you need to continue filling the pool for a while. The pressure of the water will automatically correct this.
