Easy Set pool cleaning

[ssweaser]

How well does the metal frame hold up in comparison to the donut style? We had a hail storm last night (golf ball size hail) that did in the top ring on my pool. I'm considering going with the metal frame to replace it. For my $500, though, I want it to last for more than one season...more like at least 3. Will the metal frame pools hold up to the wind and such over the long haul?

I only had the metal frame for 1 year, we moved and put up an AG. It seemed to hold up well. It was definately easier to clean and dry to take down in the fall since it was still standing up. I personally think my metal frame was much sturdier than the donut I had before it. When the kids hung on the sides we weren't having to scream at them because they were letting water out! LOL If I were going that route again, I would definately go with the metal frame without hesitation. (I'd also take a good look at the new pumps that have a SWC integrated into them)
