Why are we having such a hard time finding a pool we want??

For crying out loud, it's not like we're having an in-ground pool put in

Our wishlist is one that is NOT inflatable, so we can keep it up for the summer. We'd prefer one with a cover so we can keep water it it for a good stretch of time (WHY do no pools come with covers?? ), and we do like the collapsible ones but they're hard to find.

I did like this one from One Step Ahead, but now it's no longer available

I saw a pop open pool at ToysRUs----I *think* this might have been it---it looks like its only inflatable on the top, but I am not sure! We have a big dog, so we ended up with the basic molded plastic one (they even make one with a slide) and it works great for us!
