I'm wondering if any one know's of a manufacture that would make a speical size Inflated Swimming Pool for us, we need a Inflated Pool so we can move it in doors for the winter, and out doors for the summer, and because of the size, I have limited room space. What I need is a 10 foot across and 4 foot deep, the reason for this size, is for therapy reasons for the wife, who has Fibromyalgia.

I have checked every were I can think of, but no one wants to make, or offer close to that size, and I see most are made in China. any one have any ideas

Joe, can't remember where I got mine. It is just a hair bigger (16 x 4) and was purchased at either wallmart, target or fleet farm. I know that they have a smaller size 12 x 3 as well. You will probably have to wait until summer. Good luck.

I'll throw in an idea too. Fire departments use what's called a drop tank. It's a folding steel frame, with basically a canvas liner. They fold nearly flat. When you get to a fire scene, the tank is unfolded, and the water from the tanker trucks is dumped into the drop tank. The pumper trucks then draw from the drop tank.

Try an internet search for "fire drop tank" and you should come up with a few pictures of what I'm talking about.

Also, I have to assume by "indoor" you mean in a basement? That much water would be a ridiculous amount of weight on an upper floor.

What part of MN are you from?

Your right, the basement floor, concrete. I'm in Winona Minnesota, the Banana belt of MN.

I'm about 15 miles east of Hutchinson.

I got looking at your original description of the pool, that you needed a 4' depth. Most fire drop tanks are in the 30-36" range.

Joe, 10' across doesn't seem like a big deal, but will an inflated support 4' deep? If I've read this correctly, you're issue is mobility, and will be on concrete when inside? Does it have to be inflateable? The reason that I'm asking is that wouldn't be possible to use one of those steel above the ground pools? They can be put together and dismantled at will, they come in a wide variety of circumferences, and I think that 10' might be one of them, and 4' tall heighths is certainly one of the standard heighths. I know that it would be more work to assemble and disassemble one, but in either event, the pool will have to be drained and refilled, and if by some chance the liner gets a cut or something, it can be repaired or replaced, as opposed to having to replace the whole custom made one. And they come with filtering...filters I guess. In both cases, you'll have to do something about protecting from the concrete. If a steel above ground pool is an option, and 10' diameter isn't a stock diameter, perhaps by getting the manufacturer's name from a pool sales/installer, might just be able to get them to do the custom diameter liner - heck, the steel walls can certainly be shortened to fit such a liner.

I'm trying Joe, but for the life of me, I can't think of any other way. Best of luck to you and your wife.

Try www dot poolcenter dot com. There's your 10' inflateable, under pools.

I simply did a google on "Coleco Pools", since I know that Coleco makes inexpensive above the ground steel pools. There of course are a million hits, and one of them was "Poolcenter.com"

Sorry Kim for the .com, but under the circumstances... Thanks for understanding Kiddo.

I've seen various "bladders" made up by military repair personel on naval bases, The guys that repair life rafts, parachutes and such. Sounds like a good "civil project" that could be right up their alley and written off as "training". Perhaps you could talk to a chaplain and explain your situation. The military is often involved in this type of project.

Have you considered an inflatable hot tub? Ask around some of the RV websites (RV.net to start), people carry them in motorhomes. I've seen them once or twice at Costco, but I don't think any of them are 4' deep. I've also seen non-rigid above ground pools at Sams Club & Costco (we were looking at one last summer) that can be drained, moved, & re-filed, but again I don't think any of them are 4' deep.

Just some ideas, hope your wife is doing OK.

I know this is kind of crude but have you considered a stock tank? The kind that farmers use to hold water for their cows or horses. They come in many shapes & sizes in steel or plastic but you'd be limited by whatever you could fit through the basement door.

Yes I have considered a Hot Tub, but they are very hard to move when needed, I need some thing that's easy like the Inflated Pools are, thanks for asking .... Joe

Will your floor support that much weight?
I know people who ended up adding a "Sun Porch" type of addition to have a small pool installed.

Thanks Randy, I plan to use the Inflated pool on the ground out side, which I have limited room for, and on the concrete floor (also limited room) in the winter, so that no problem, thanks for asking ... Joe
