The Bestway 13 foot round above-ground pool has a pale gray wall, a dark charcoal band around the base, and steel posts spaced around a full circle.

Inside, a mosaic stone print lines the wall above the water. The assembled wall stands 48 inches on a 156 inch diameter round footprint.

Plan a level 13 foot round site on prepared ground before assembly. No tools are needed. The steel joints join by hand, and the same path comes apart when you take the pool down for storage.

This carton holds the pool and a repair patch. A filter pump, ladder, cover, and garden hose are not included. People, floats, and landscaping in photos are not included.

A garden hose is not in the box. Attach a hose to the built-in flow control valve when you drain the water at the end of the season, then store the liner and frame dry.

The assembled wall stands 48 inches. Supervise children in the water and never leave anyone swimming alone.

• Set it on level ground

  Pick a level, prepared site and set the frame up there. No tools are needed for assembly. The joints click together by hand, and the same path comes apart when you take the pool down. Do not try to inflate this one. It is a hard-wall frame pool, not an air ring.

• Steel frame

  A corrosion resistant steel frame holds the wall, and the ClickConnect joints keep metal off metal so rust is slower to start. The connectors join by hand. That is what keeps a 13 foot circle standing through a summer.

• Three layer liner

  The liner is a Tritech three layer material with a mosaic stone print on the interior. A dark charcoal band circles the gray wall above the lower rails. The filled pool spans 13 feet across with a 48 inch wall height.

• What ships in the carton

  The carton holds the 13 foot pool and a heavy duty repair patch. A filter pump, ladder, cover, and garden hose are not included. Buy those separately if you need them for fill, filter, entry, or storage.

• Fill and drain

  A garden hose is not in the box. That hose is what you use both to fill and to drain. For draining, attach it to the built in flow control valve and direct the water where you want it.

• Use it safely

  The assembled wall stands 48 inches. Supervise children in the water and never leave anyone swimming alone. The swimming depth is real enough that a toddler cannot stand in the middle. A ladder is not in this carton.

• Take it down later

  At the end of the season, drain the water through the built-in flow control valve, then store the liner and frame dry. The joints come apart by hand the same way they went together. No tools are needed for takedown.
