Campsite Swimming Pool
« on: November 26, 2003, 06:15:27 pm »
I quite fancy trying to get a larger pool , but have no idea where to get one from.

Preferably about 3 to 5  metres across , and cheap. I would hopefully get one in the UK .

Any ideas.....

Robbo, it would probably take all of the race to fill it.  ;)
It would be ready by Monday.

I thought the £100k concreate idea , may be a little extreme for the weekend .
Dont know if the trailer could carry all the trimmings..

Maybe with a little help from the COMMER .

Robbo,
You should be able to get one of these kits in your trailer.

Robbo, you have given me a great idea, you are a f*cking genius!! :-*

I could take the detachable "pop top" roof off the Commer, line the back out with thick black plastic fish pond liner and fill the back with water up to the windows> Instant mobile indoor swimming pool.

If it rains I can shut the roof like the Millennium Stadium. Also, install a diving board on the cab for a bit of "top bombing"! Who's bringing the John Smiths?

I reckon it's do-able. Or have I lost theplot? ??? :P
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

You might find it of help to have a look at our Paddling Pool Safety Officer's page on Beermountain.com

We are going for a pool upgrade this year - probably will buy in Carrefour - the sort of spec where you get a small pump etc to help keep it clean..

Oh well done Mr. Zarse.  It's been far too long since we had another idea for what to do with the Commer ;D ;D

It's also a good way of checking the floor of the Commer for rust holes  :D

Rust Steve?  Surely the venerable Commer is immune to such things ;)
