The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Size Intex Pool for Your Doha Backyard

When the summer heat arrives in Doha, there's no better way to cool down than having your own Intex swimming pool at home. Whether you're planning weekend family fun, keeping the kids entertained during school holidays, or creating a relaxing outdoor space, choosing the right pool size is the key to getting the most out of your investment.

At London Toys, we offer a wide range of genuine Intex pools designed for families of all sizes. This guide will help you find the perfect pool for your backyard.

Why Choose an Intex Pool?

Intex has become one of the world's leading above-ground pool brands because they offer:

✅ Easy installation with no permanent construction required

✅ Strong and durable materials

✅ Affordable compared to built-in swimming pools

✅ Sizes suitable for every family

✅ Easy maintenance with compatible pumps and accessories

Whether you have a compact garden or a spacious villa backyard, there's an Intex pool that fits your space.

Step 1: Measure Your Available Space

Before selecting a pool, carefully measure your outdoor area.

Remember to leave at least 60–100 cm of extra space around the pool for:

Walking safely
Filter pump connections
Ladder access
Cleaning and maintenance

Never choose a pool that barely fits your backyard. Extra clearance makes installation safer and much more convenient.

Step 2: Match the Pool to Your Family Size

Small Families (2–3 People)

Recommended Size:

8 ft – 10 ft Round Pools

Perfect for:

Young children
Small patios
Cooling off during hot afternoons

These pools are easy to install, require less water, and are simple to maintain.

Medium Families (3–5 People)

Recommended Size:

12 ft Round Pool
10 ft x 6 ft Rectangular Pool

Ideal for:

Weekend family fun
Kids learning to swim
Relaxing after work

This is one of the most popular choices for homes in Doha because it balances swimming space with manageable maintenance.

Large Families (5–8 People)

Recommended Size:

15–18 ft Round Pools
Large Rectangular Frame Pools

Perfect for:

Family gatherings
Pool parties
Older children and teenagers

Larger pools offer significantly more room for games and floating while remaining much more affordable than permanent swimming pools.

Step 3: Choose the Right Pool Shape

Round Pools

Smaller gardens
Family play
Easy installation

Step 4: Consider Doha's Climate

Doha enjoys sunshine almost all year, making above-ground pools a fantastic investment.

To get the best experience:

Install your pool on level ground.
Use a ground cloth underneath the pool.
Cover the pool when not in use to reduce dust and evaporation.
Use the recommended filter pump to keep water clean.
Test water chemistry regularly, especially during the hottest months.

These simple steps help extend the life of your pool and make maintenance much easier.

Step 5: Don't Forget the Accessories

A complete pool setup is more than just the pool itself.

We recommend adding:

🏊 Filter Pump

🪜 Pool Ladder

🛡️ Pool Cover

🧹 Cleaning Kit

🌡️ Floating Thermometer

💧 Water Treatment Chemicals

These accessories keep your pool clean, safe, and ready to enjoy throughout the season.
