Just curious--why would you take the pool down in two months instead of covering it and treating it for winter weather?
I live in Manitoba, Canada and our winters are very harsh. We easily see temps in the -50F range with the windchill for stretches between January to March plus we'll see a lot of snowfall as well. Then in a blink of an eye we'll have 95F temps in July and August. I don't think the Intex pool would withstand being left out in our winters. I suppose I can get through September with the pool up as it's still warm during the days but it tends to cool significantly at night and I find the kids lose a little interest once school starts. So realistically I can probably get 2.5 to 3 months if I'm lucky.
