Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So you'll see this review for the other products I purchased to add this little piece of paradise to my backyard. I have just retired from the military, and of course I started doing all the work around the house that I never had the time or energy for. When I saw I had a patch of yard room enough to put something, I found this 10' diameter Intex pool. It came well packaged, was a typical pain in the rear to put together (I don't read instructions until after the fact.../flex). Overall, it went together nicely. Filled it up, got the pump working (the pump is subpar...it'll work for now but I will upgrade sooner rather than later). I got the 10' Intex solar cover (solar - ha, funny...blue bubble wrap is solar now?) and it fits well. It helped keep the leaves and twigs out. If he adds some warmth to the water, I don't know. I live in central Texas. It's going to be warm regardless. So the pool is great. 30" deep, perfect for just sitting. I had a small camping table I put next to it. I got an HB Illumination speaker to pair to my phone. It's meant to float but the sound sucks when it's in the water. I added the Coleman 15x13 screened tent canopy a few days later. It fits perfectly. Enough room to cover the camping table and pump as well as enclose the little step stool ladder I have. The Coleman tent is easy to assemble - but MAKE SURE THE POLES ARE ON THE OUTSIDE! I read that review earlier and brain dumped it. Then I was cursing the existence of humanity when I got to the last pole and couldn't get it to snap into place. Yea - poles on the outside, poles on the outside...poles on the outside. It has two zipper entrances and like I said - it covers the pool perfectly. Keeps the bugs out. Get a camping LED light/lantern that emits the yellow/bug blind light and you're set to spend your warm summer evenings sitting in a pool, listening to crickets and frogs (or in my city case - traffic), and just relax the stress away. So unless I modify this review - I strongly suggest anyone considering this pool or the Coleman screen tent to buy. Good purchases.
