Summer is here, and it’s time to soak up the sun, make memories, and enjoy endless hours of fun in your backyard with a Doughboy® pool. As the leading name in above ground pools, Doughboy Pools is committed to providing families with high-quality, durable, and safe swimming solutions. Let us share tips and ideas for making the most of your Doughboy pool, ensuring that your summer is filled with laughter, relaxation, and unforgettable moments.
Setting Up Your Doughboy Pool
The first step to a fantastic summer is setting up your Doughboy pool. Our pools are designed for straightforward, do-it-yourself installation, allowing you to begin enjoying your backyard oasis without delay. To help you through the process, we offer detailed installation videos and guides on our website. Choose a level spot in your yard, away from trees and overhead wires, and follow the instructions carefully.
If you have any questions during the setup, your local Doughboy dealer is available to answer them and may also be able to provide you with a list of local installers if you decide to seek professional assistance.
Doughboy Recreational is in no way affiliated with any professional pool installer. Therefore, Doughboy Pools can assume no responsibility for errors in installation by the homeowner or said professional installer. If you have the pool installed by others, please supervise to be sure they comply with proper installation techniques as shown in both Doughboy Installation Instructions that are packaged with every Doughboy pool and Doughboy Installation Videos available for your review at Pool Installation Videos | Doughboy Pools.
Creating a Safe Environment
Safety is our top priority at Doughboy Pools. To ensure a safe swimming experience, establish a set of pool rules for your family and guests. These might include no running around the pool, no diving, and always swimming with a buddy. Additionally, consider installing a pool fence and a lockable ladder to prevent unsupervised access, especially if you have young children or pets. Visit our website for more important safety guidelines.
Fun Pool Activities for the Whole Family
A Doughboy pool is the perfect setting for a variety of fun activities that will keep your family entertained all summer long.
