We bought an 18'x48" Coleman Vista during covid for us and the grandkids. It lasted ~ 2 years. Some of the legs rusted out. Replacements are ridiculously expensive so it's cheaper to buy a new pool. This time, went with Bestway 20'x48". It lasted a year. Same issues. Same issues with replacement parts. We just ordered an Intex 20'x52" pool. I realize they're all manufactured by the same company. We got these because they were all < $500. We reuse our heavy duty ladder and our sand filter and pump. The water stays good, we just need to figure out how to 1) inhibit or slow rusting and/or 2) how to build or replace the parts with something more durable.
