7 of the best portables pools

No pool, no worries with these put-up-and-pack-away alternatives. - by Philippa Tonkin

7 of the best portables pools

Come summertime, most days all we want is to take a refreshing dip in the water to cool off. But for those of us who don't live near the beach or don't have a backyard pool, or both, it can be a bit trickier. 

This is where portable pools come in. Long gone are the days of these being simply the little inflatable ones for kids, now portable pools come in all shapes and sizes and are fit for people of all ages. 

We've rounded up our pick of the best starting at just $49.99. Your new pool is only a click away.  

Inflatable

Bestway Outdoor Family Pool

1. Bestway Large Inflatable Family Pool, $79.96 at Crazy Sales 

This inflatable pool is 305cm x 183cm x 56cm making it the perfect option for kids to play and adults to lounge. It can be set up in minutes and taken down almost as quickly, meaning you can put away easily after a splash so it doesn't overrun your backyard. 

Intex graphite

Intex Graphite Panel Pool Round

2. Intex Graphite Panel Pool Round - 15ft, $2999 at Clark Rubber

Although it may be the priciest pool on the list, it's definitely worth the investment. This pool is large enough to keep the whole family swimmingly occupied. Made of a tough reinforced 3-ply liner with high puncture and tear resistance, it comes with a Krystal Clear 4542L sand filter pump, removable ladder, debris cover, and ground cloth. Whilst it may not be as portable as the others, it makes up for it in every other way.

Mini frame pool

Intex Mini Frame Pool

3. Intex Mini Frame Pool, $49.99 at BCF

At the bottom end of the price range, this pool really provides bang for your buck and hours of entertainment for the littlies. The bottom plug makes it super-easy to drain and it's light enough to easily move around. Perhaps too small for the average adult but it's perfect for kids who are still learning to swim. 

Steel pro max

Bestway Above Ground Swimming Pool

4. Bestway 4.57m Above Ground Metal Frame Swimming Pool, $599.96 at Crazy Sales 

This 4.57m x 1.07m pool has a water capacity of 14,970L making it big enough for all your summer pool party needs. The convenient flow control drain valve, couple with the included adapter which attaches to your garden hose, allows water to be drained away from the pool area easily. This makes cleaning and storing a breeze. Comes with a ladder, pool cover and filter pump.

Lounge

Intex Swim Centre Lounge

5. Intex Swim Centre Lounge, $89.99 at BCF

Another inflatable option, this lounge pool is perfect for little kids wanting to play or for adults wanting to simply relax in the cool water. With a roomy length and width of 2.29m, there's enough space to enjoy the four built-in seats without feeling crowded. There's also two integrated cup holders so you can sit back and enjoy an icy drink as you laze the day away.

Ultra

Intex Ultra XTR Frame Pool

6. Intex Ultra XTR Frame Pool Rectangular - 18ft, $2199 at Clark Rubber

This top-of-the-line portable pool is large enough for kids and adults alike. It's easy to assemble, the frame simply snaps together with no locking pins needed. However don't think this is flimsy - the pieces are made from high-quality galvanized steel with a precision-engineered locking system, making this one very durable and stable pool that will last summer after summer.

Pool

Intex Prism Frame Swimming Pool Set

7. Intex 457cm Prism Frame Swimming Pool Set, $399 at catch.com.au 

Over four metres in diameter, this pool is the perfect way to elevate your outdoor space for full-on family enjoyment. It's easy to set up allowing for instant enjoyment this summer. Comes with a ladder, pump and pool cover.
