Garden Leisure Pool

What is the difference in a Doughboy above ground pool and a Garden Leisure pool? I am debating a copper canyon doughboy or an oracle garden leisure pool. The oracle is cheaper so wondering the difference. thanks.

Hi Jo. The biggest difference between the two is how they go together. The Oracle by Garden Leisure is much harder to install. Doughboy has always built user friendly pools, those that are easy to install. By easy to install I mean all the parts are in the boxes and they all fit together correctly, the first time. The Oracle is one of the over designed pools with to many parts and new ways of attaching things that make installing harder, not easier.

If you plan to do the install yourself I would definitely go with the Doughboy. If you are going to have it installed talk to your installer before you order the pool, not after. Ask your installer the pros and cons of the two pools and which one he prefers installing. You will get a better job if your installer is comfortable working with the pool you are asking him to build.
