Intex were Light Years ahead of Bestway, the ultra frame swimming pool brought a new style and height to the fun garden swimming pool market. The above youtube video clearly demonstrates how easy the Intex ultra frame swimming pool is to instal and how great this swimming pool really is. Saying that things have changed in the last two years. It is much more neck and neck now with Bestway closing the gap on Intex with new products.

Bestway Pools have been improving their products dramatically in the last 24 months and have for the first time possibly nudged themselves into the lead on innovative products with the addition last year of the 12ft x 48 inch deep Bestway Pool. This swimming pool is an ideal size for gardens where larger swimming pools are impracticale. On some of the larger Bestway swimming pools a sand filter is included rather than the standard cartridge.

The vinyl used is usually exactly the same standard and now that Bestway have improved their pumps it is very hard to chose between the two. The main difference is that sometimes non-pool companies sell the Bestway brand and the advice you get can often be misleading at best and outright dangerous at most.

Intex pools are generally finished better than Bestway pools but this is normally shown in the price. Cheapest is not always the best way (no pun intended) to go when choosing your pool.

Intex or Bestway? If I had to choose between the two I would have to choose Intex.

My advice though is to buy your pool from a reputable swimming pool company, then whichever brand you choose you should get the advice that makes it a safe and enjoyable product.

If you are still not sure what way to go or would like just a bit more personal advice give me a call and I will try and help you with your decision.

I often get asked which above ground permanent pool I would recommend for a complete swimming pool beginner to start out with.

After evaluating the usage, space available and the customers DIY skills, more than often I end up recommending the Vogue Discovery swimming pool. Apart from the very easy build the Vogue looks good above ground; it can be part or fully sunk and is easy to deck around. All in all the Vogue Discovery Swimming Pool is great value for money. It even has the Fabrico Dome option that allows nearly all year round usage.

In my opinion the Vogue Discovery Swimming Pool is also the easiest permanent swimming pool to build by a long way, almost as easy in fact as an Intex Rectangular metal frame pool. The only nuts and bolts used are to join the two ends of the steel wall and with no screws in the build design the erection is so “un-fiddly” that it really is an simple build for a novice. With a 30-year pro-rata warranty I know that my customer will have peace of mind for a long time too.

As a very broad “catch-all “ piece of advice I would certainly recommend the Vogue Discovery swimming pool.

Building your own pool might sound a bit daunting, so I would be more than happy to help with your choice of pool and to talk you through any parts of the process you do not understand.
