I travel and would like to know if this product can be used/assembled for use in the typical indoor hotel pool where there is no grass to secure it.

Hi Rigoberto: You can pretty much jerry-rig this to anything that has some amount of weight to it. Like perhaps affixing it to a table leg with some weight behind it. You'll pull about maybe 25 lb.s of force onto it. . .it affixes in a couple of places.

Dont things so. You need a tree located to certain distance or a hook, or something to hold the system

I use it indoors, but I wouldn't object to using it outdoors. Like another user said, bringing it to the beach seems like a great idea!

I had to look up the M.P.S.Spa. I think, I said think they would work fine on the exterior. Evidently you don't have a built in spa, no deck? If it sits on ground/earth, I'd suggest a wooden/cement platform to sit the plastic on. I'm not sure of top weight allowed, as there is no buffer of water. You certainly don't have to anchor it from floating. My best suggestion is to put a gate on it to prevent young children from going into it to tragedy. I'm very happy with these steps, in fact, just removed them from pool today, put away for winter. This is my first summer, they still look like new, no cracks or discoloration from sun.

It needs a table edge to attach to so isn't intended to be free standing on a pool table and the edge of a pool table is too thick. I have a 9ft pool table and used particle board to make a ping pong table that rests atop my pool table, extending a couple inches past the pool table perimeter in all directions. You only need to paint it if you want a more finished appearance. If you do paint you'll need to make sure it's a smooth finish and then will want to add a lacquer finish otherwise the paint will rub off on the ping pong balls. There are ping pong table tops you can buy ready made. I just couldn't find one I liked for a 9ft pool table.

I don't think so. If the lower ground was out side the pool you could, but not from the inside.

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.

Good question, as I had the same concern (most seemed to be for in ground pools). I have an above-ground pool and this works great in it.

I would not put it in a pool due to the metal legs. It would be afraid it might rust.

i don't think it would be useful on an intex pool due to chemical interactions between the plastic of the pool and the putty itself. it's more sauitable to concrete type pools and thicker plastic parts.

I currently use it with an Intex pool. I do not know if it can be used with an above ground pool.

No. If you are running indoors you can add a foot pod. For the pool use it won't work indoors.

There isn't anything to attach the cover to. You could put Velcro on the edge of a tarp and the sides of the pool, maybe. You could just lay a tarp on top, but the wind would blow it off.

I would not attemp anything like that. It is definitely designed to be inserted between the vinyl liner and a stiff pool wall. I did, however, install a rhino pad on the floor of the pool and really like it. It would be a great base for an Intex style pool.

No it is not an air chamber, I put the pool on top of grass, but also when I layed the pool on cement, I placed a sheet on the bottom so the pool won't get any holes or scratch. If your concern about small children getting hurt if the pool gets placed on the floor, my suggestion is...it's better off on top of grass.

This would probably work in an in ground pool. However, this product doesn't work well anyways, it seems to stick in spots and without help of a human moving it, the pool wouldn't get clean.

We purchased it for an in ground pool. I believe it would need a platform to rest the base if you were going to use it in an above ground pool.
