The Intex Mini Frame Pool solves the one thing parents dislike most about kids pools: the pumping. Instead of inflatable rings, it hangs a tough pool liner on a corrosion-resistant metal frame. There is nothing to blow up, so you never touch a pump, and the walls never go soft halfway through the afternoon.

Setting it up is genuinely quick. The metal frame poles snap together, the liner clips onto the frame, and then you simply fill it with water. When summer is over you drain it, unclip the frame and fold the pool flat, which makes it far easier to store than a big inflatable that has to be dried and rolled.

Because the frame holds everything firm, the square walls stay straight and steady. The low 12 inch height means a toddler can climb in and out on their own, and the solid sides give them something reassuring to hold. It is a neat, tidy little pool for a courtyard, rooftop or small lawn.

The size is 48 x 48 x 12 inches, which is 122 x 122 x 30 cm, or about 4 x 4 x 1 ft. Filled to the recommended level it holds around 342 litres, roughly 90 gallons, and an underwater repair patch is included for the liner. The frame is built to resist rust so it copes with being left out over the season.

It suits children from about three years old under supervision. The Intex Mini Frame Pool price in Pakistan is Rs. 14,500, reduced from Rs. 18,000, and it is the easy, no-fuss choice for parents who would rather fill a pool than spend twenty minutes pumping one up.
