If your pool is on sand, you can prevent vertical supports from “digging in” from the weight of the water by placing small rectangular plywood pads under the pool supports as shown here. I also drilled a hole through each support and screwed to the plywood piece to prevent sliding toward the liner. In the majority of cases, frame pools become unusable because of the liner and not the frame.
But, if these consideration boxes are easily checked off in your situation, then I wouldn’t hesitate to add an Intex metal-frame pool to your summer plans. I’m also not super thrilled that the cover Intex sells as an accessory, blows off in the slightest of winds; a problem if you don’t want to clean leaves and bugs out of your pool each day. Although, many online reviews state that owner’s keep theirs up all winter long with no issues, should you decide to take the risk. Intex pools need to be set-up on extremely level ground.
