Nothing says Aussie summer like cooling off in your own backyard pool. A portable pool gives the kids space to splash and makes hot afternoons more enjoyable for everyone.

• How much flat space you have available 
• Whether you prefer a round or rectangular pool 
• How many people will usually be swimming at one time 
• Whether you want a pool mainly for fitness, family swimming, or entertaining
• What accessories you may need, such as covers, fences, ladders, pumps and cleaning tools 
• Legal and local council requirements for portable pools and safety barriers 

If you are unsure, visit your local Clark Rubber store. Our in-store experts can help you compare pool sizes, shapes and accessories, and talk through what will suit your backyard and summer plans. All swimming pools and spas that can be filled to 30cm or more may require a compliant safety barrier. Please refer to Australian Standard swimming pool safety requirements and contact your local council for pool permit, fencing, and water regulations. 

We have four NEW portable pools available this season.   

Coming in at number 4, is Intex Prism Clearview Frame Pools 

The Intex Prism Clearview Rectangular Frame Pool is the standout option if you want a portable pool that feels a little more exciting than a standard frame pool. 

It has amazing clear windows around the pool, that allow underwater views from inside and outside the pool, which makes swimming more interactive for kids and more enjoyable for families watching nearby. 

The rectangular Clearview pool has an approximate set-up size of 4m x 1.22m x 2.0m, giving families a generous swimming space in a shape that can work well along a fence line or patio edge, depending on your backyard layout. 

It includes a filter pump, ladder, ground cloth and pool cover. It also features a powder-coated metal frame, U-shaped support legs and a durable 3-ply material liner. It is ready for water in approximately 45 minutes. 

This is a strong choice if you want: 

• A premium backyard pool feel 
• Clear windows for underwater viewing 
• A rectangular shape for family swimming and summer entertaining 
• Included essentials to help get started 
• A pool suitable for ages 6 years and above

Plus, if you are after a round frame pool, the Intex Prism Clearview Round Frame Pool can give you the same Clearview experience. With a set up size of 4.27m x 1.07m, it features a 360-degree underwater clear window, creating panoramic visibility from inside and outside the pool. 

Not sure whether round or rectangular is better for your space? Bring your backyard measurements into store and our Clark Rubber experts can help you narrow it down.

Number 3: Intex Prism Frame Pools 

The Intex Prism Frame Pool range is a practical choice for families who want reliable summer fun without the Clearview window feature. 

These pools are built with puncture-resistant 3-ply liner material and powder-coated steel frames. They are easy to assemble, with steel tubing that snaps together easily, and also include a cartridge filter pump with Hydro Aeration Technology. 

The rectangular Prism Frame pools are especially useful when you want swimming space without choosing a round pool footprint. 

Available rectangular options include: 

• Intex Prism Frame Rectangular 9ft Pool 
• Intex Prism Frame Rectangular 13ft Pool 
• Intex Prism Frame Rectangular 16ft Pool

If you prefer a round pool, the Prism Frame range also includes: 

• Intex Prism Frame Round 12ft x 30in Pool 
• Intex Prism Frame Round 12ft x 39in Pool 
• Intex Prism Frame Round 15ft x 48in Pool 

A round Prism Frame pool can be a good choice when you want an open, social swimming area. It gives swimmers room to move around and can work well as the centrepiece of a backyard summer setup. 

Ask your local Clark Rubber store and speak to our expert team about the difference between the rectangular and round Prism Frame options. They can help you compare size, setup space and the accessories you may need.

Close second is the Graphite Pools  

Graphite pools are a great choice if you want the practicality of an above ground pool with a more styled backyard finish. 

The Intex Graphite Panel Pool Rectangular – 13ft pairs a heavy-duty steel frame with graphite grey composite panels for a modern look. Its rectangular shape provides plenty of room for swimming, playing with the kids or relaxing on a float.

Measuring 4m long, 3m wide and 1.24m high, the pool holds approximately 10,000 litres. It comes with a 4000L Krystal Clear® sand filter pump, safety ladder with removable steps, pool cover and ground cloth. Allow around 120 minutes for set-up.

The Intex Graphite Panel Pool also comes in a Round 15ft model if you prefer a wider, open swimming area for family fun and relaxing.

The Graphite range is ideal if you want: 

• A more polished look in the backyard 
• A rectangular pool suited to swimming and active play
• Graphite-look panels with a natural wood appearance 
• Included essentials such as a sand filter pump, removable ladder, debris cover and ground cloth 
• A pool that balances style, strength and everyday convenience 

Graphite pools are especially suited to households that want their pool to feel like part of the outdoor entertaining area, not just a seasonal add-on.  

If you want a larger portable pool with plenty of room for swimming, games and long summer afternoons, the Ultra XTR range is a strong option to consider! 

Ultra XTR pools are designed for families who want a more substantial above ground pool setup. They feature steel frames, a blue tile print and an elegant graphite exterior. This gives them a more finished look in the backyard, while still offering the flexibility of a portable pool.
