Best Garden Pool
My 12 year old daughter has done really well at school 
She has decided she wants a pool.
Any ideas where to get one, most places are sold out, as expected
And which are best

My pal has about 400 overground 12 -15 ft round pools from £130 to £350 plus delivery. Can't shift them here because of hosepipe ban. PM me if interested. Reasonable quality and better than Argos spec. Congratulations to your gal. dl

Went looking for one yesterday, most places were sold out but I had a quick look in Homebase where they still had plenty in stock. Got a 12ft x 26" deep one for £49.99. Spent over an hour blowing it up even with an electric pump then it took about 4 hours to fill completely with the hose. Went down a treat today with the kids and with the hot weather looking to continue into next week, it looks like it's been a good buy If money was no object and I had more room in my garden I'd have gone for the 15ft rigid frame one which I think is 3 ft deep?
Oh and I too have mine next to the trampoline. Great fun

I bought a cheapy 8 x 4 x 2 deep last year from Poundstrecher for about £20 last year but now it has a slow puncture and it will only stay up long enough for a day's paddling.
Windydaughter now wants a "build-in" one, I think she means one that is dug into the ground but she will just have to do with one we have.
