10ftpoolgiveaway

Giveaway: Win a 10ft Instant Garden Pool – CLOSED

Posted on June 1, 2015July 19, 2018
We are now officially in June and we have been promised a heat wave – I of course will believe it when it comes, but we can live in hope can’t we?
With that in mind and with the Summer holiday’s fast approaching I have a fantastic giveaway for you to get Summer ready.
How do you fancy this bad boy for the garden?
10ftpoolgiveaway

 

You’ll need lots of room for this fantastic pool as it is a whopping 10ft!
So when the kids fancy swimming and you can’t bear the thought of leaving the house to hit the pool you don’t have too.  They can have a swim in your own garden – PLEASE remember that children need to be supervised around water at all times!
This prize is being offered to you from www.paramountzone.com and costs £59.99 (it is currently available online from Amazon for £29.99). – If this is too big you are able to buy an 8ft version for £24.99
Setting this pool up is easy – blow up the top ring and then fill with water, as the water level rises so do the sides.  To remove the water just remove the bung near the base.
The size of this pool is 10ft x 30 and it holds 1048 Gal (3966L) of water.
You can purchase a Pool Pump with a Filter separately (this is not included in your prize).
This is a fantastic prize perfect for those hot summers days, great for not only the kids but large enough for adults too.
If you would like the chance to win this prize please fill in the rafflecopter form below.
UK entries only, this giveaway will end at midnight on 22nd June 2015.  Good Luck

    Indoors – it's important to open the windows both upstairs, and downstairs. This allows airflow – cooler air coming in downstairs, hot air escaping upstairs. It really helps.

    Outside – ice pops. Lots of them.

    To be in your own pool filled with cold/cool water – how refreshing and relaxing, preferably with a glass of home-made lemonade with ice, wearing plenty of waterproof sun-screen and part under a gazebo for the extra shade when required. Oh I can just imagine it now – perfect!!
