    I am jealous, mine is only 5 foot round and 10 inches deep. We encourage the dog to use it though. We went with the high tech plastic so her nails won't puncture it.

    Couldn't more true!!! It's pathetic looking, LOL!!!!!! It was one of those things were we wanted a little pool to keeps the kids a little busy but didn't want to get into leveling the ground with sand, etc...Kids don't care a lick and are enjoying it so that's all that really matters. Me being anal as I am I cringe when I look out back....

    Hay, the neat thing is, you used WOOD to ''enhance'' the pool and protect its venerability from some pets. Attention: no diving from the edges of the pool, or running around the pool.

    Loon, I'm curious if you hired a contractor to install that beast or did it yourself? And yes, be very careful when diving.
