Have a special needs kid that occasionally I'd like to keep in our shallow end of the pool. My idea was to find a net to weave my "safety" rope thru?What do you recommend

That's a great idea and this net would work perfect for that project. It's sturdy enough. Only suggestion it to buy the net a tad larger than the area you need to cover. Net sizes seem to run a little small.

This net is plenty strong for that.I can not pull it apart by hand. Not sure if your application is safe.

Thank you for the reply. Its just there isnt enough room for me to get a regular ladder for them. I thought the rope would save a space and also allow them to climb. Do you suggest any other product that might be safe and also save space.

It might not look good but I bet if the net is bigger then the frame, all you would need to do is connect the little bungee cords to a square in the net that is NOT on the edge but rather in a little bit towards the center. You would have some overlap of the netting but it would work the same. I think my pitch back came with the bungee cords, if not, you will need to buy some.

There is an elastic net where you can store water shoes or that type of stuff, but nothing for tackle box or a pole. I would also be worried about hooks puncturing the inflatable tubes.

I've purchased Hampton Products-Keeper 06345 8" Bungee Cords with plastic toggle balls and they work great, but last time we tried 100 Pack 12" Nylon Cable Zip Ties Self Locking 5mm and they are amazing and weather proof! You can actually make the net tighter or direct the return but how many, how tight, or how close together you assemble the zip ties. Good Luck!

If it were up to me, I would go with something more robust in terms of leashes. I guess the main question is: how did the leash separate and get lost? My guess is that the clip on the leash broke off. Chances are good that the webbing didn't rip and the child didn't manually disconnect anything (due to anchor placement). In my opinion, your best bet is to get something more robust than the Kid Keeper's included leash can offer. Based on the variety of products in the market that I've tested, I'd say you have two options; the nature of your outings and travel patterns of the child will likely dictate which one would be preferred. The first is a good retractable dog leash. Most manufacturers offer product in a few different weight classes and I recommend the "large dog" range. These are rated for dogs up to 110 lbs. Not only does the webbing provide more tensile strength, but the clasps, pulleys, and handle are all robust enough to restrain a full grown golden retriever, let alone a fired-up toddler making a bee-line for the candy aisle. Should a handheld apparatus such as this not meet your needs, I suggest you go the anchor-to-anchor route. I'm likely butchering the technical terminology, but the fact is that if you use quality climbing rope and 800+ lbs. carabiners on both ends, you can securely cement your child's chest rig to your own full body harness. By employing your own full body harness, you also have the added benefit of a lower center of gravity to offset the child's power to height ratio. Good luck!

It comes with a tarp which doesn't extend much beyond the dimensions of the pool, so in order for it to be of help the pool needs to be placed very exactly. I would recommend that if you want more padding under the pool that you get a "happy pad," which will guard against sharp edges of stones and things like that.

Yes just put 2 big tarps under the pool.Also we bought 2 cinder blocks at Home depot.Put one outside and one inside on a bathroom math to protect the pool and you won't need a ladder...Use chlorine shock just a little bit once a week and also balance that you can get from Walmart...The chlorine tablets takes too long time to dissolve...Use a stick for balancing the water and you will see what chemicals you need.I only run the pump 1 time a month for 3 hours or if the water is not clear...You don't need to run it more because it costs power to run...

There is a nylon cord that is sewn in around the perimeter similar to a hooded sweatshirt. On our pool, we've tied it once when we first put it on and ever since then we've just stretched it on and off. hasn't budged so far. Note, that keeping a couple of those cheap foam noodles underneath it when it is on is a big help.

The Summer Escapes Pro pool I had used a regular/standard garden hose. You may have to play with it a little, but it should be a standard hose size.

We just tied knots, but a strap with hooks or something like that might be best. Especially if much more length is needed. Grandkids love it!

No the liner is too big for that. Use this one Intex 12-Foot by 30-Inch Metal Frame Pool Set (Discontinued by Manufacturer) It is also cheaper too. Good luck

I have a fiberglass pool with concrete coping. The front roller will come to the coping and levitate there for a few seconds. It will then quit propelling and settle to the bottom. I also have a safety ledge half way in deep end, and has no problem. Excellent product.

I was looking for the same thing. Decided to use a tarp and bungee cords. Hope this helps

Your solar cover should be fine. We have a 12 mil for a 16x28 pool. My 8 year old can roll it up and 12 yr old helps me lift it completely off when needed. If to a second post, my 8 yr old can do this too. Only recommendation is to buy a 'clip' or two for each end as the liner likes to unroll both at the same time. The aluminum rod is light weight but seems very strong.

I would not put any inflatable on cement, since the possibility is always there if the child falls inside the pool area. You could cushion the bottom with a padding underneath the item which will soften the area between the concrete and the bottom of the foggy pool. Also the padding will protect the item from damage.

No.You will either have to buy string, or velcro straps (if your net does not already have built in hooks)Net is still lasting fine, with lots of use.
