Thinking about purchasing an above ground pool for our kids, how durable are they?

Question:Just wondering how durable the above ground pools are. I don't own one yet, but am considering buying one. We have 4 very active kids, what would be the most durable brand? What size would anyone suggest for 4 children, ages 15 to 3 yrs old. Also, wondering how difficult they are to drain and store at the end of the season and is there a lot of upkeep on them? THANKS for helping me out!!

Answers:
I recommend it. They hold up very well as long as you maintain them. The kids will have to abide by the rules you set and your family will enjoy it ! Get one that remains and you just winterize it . No storage. They have covers for them now!!24 round ,4 feet deep is the one I think wiil work best for your growing family.
