it is depending on what you want to stock it with, inside or outside, filtration, etc. fill us in on a little more info.

pick it up in the store. they have them here on clearance for like $100 if you have enough room to put up a 10' pool then go for that for sure. i paid $17 for my inflatable one at target. gotta love the clearance isle, and that was in july they already had it on clearance. wierd i know but hey i went with it.
i used the same filter i have on my pond now. 35 gal rubbermaid container, fed through the top, water falls through filter mat suspended by a rack into all the bio-media, then falls out 2 shower drains i put in the side of the container then through the pvc and back into the pond. simple, effective. CHEAP DOES A GREAT JOB. i run a barracuda utility pump through 1 1/2" hose @ 4' of head flows somewhere around 1500gph. the bio-media is 50 bio balls and 5 packages of poly "snow blanket" (christmas decoration) it was $2 per bag. i got the bio-balls on clearance at wal-mart 10 per box for $3 each box. the most expensive thing was the rubbermaid tub, cause i used one of the heavier duty ones.
