How portable is this? My intention would be to carry this to the park, set up, tear down and carry home each day. Would this be feasible?

Not at all practical for what your suggesting... While if folds up nicely, it takes a couple of hours to fill, assuming you had access to a garden house...+draining, drying etc...

It would work fine but take a little time if you plan on doing this every day. The pool holds a lot of water so it takes time to fill and drain. Once drained the pool will easily fold back up for easy transport and can be carried in one hand. Hope this helps.

I think it would be difficult to do on a daily basis - mainly the time to transport, fill, empty and fold. It takes some time to fill the pool, although I keep mine pretty shallow as my dog likes to lie down just to cool off and it isn't exactly light weight, although it does fold up quite nicely. I empty mine every two days when it's warm, but it stays in the same place.

Absolutely! We are using it in and out. Taking with us when we're going to parks or visiting someone. You wouldn't regret this purchase

I have not personally used it outside, but this is designed for indoor use. I am sure you could set it up outside and then take it back inside, but it is by no means rugged.

Yes. It is portable. However, its a pain to set up and take down. I threw my back out trying to put it up. The long skinny pole that is flexible breaks easily and you need this so it will stay up. Good Luck.

My spa just sits on my deck. It works great. I guess mine could be moved if I hired people to move it. So TECHNICALLY it's portable. I think they must mean it has to be above ground-not built in like at some hotels.

I would not call it "portable". Maybe to carry to the patio and back, but to the office?

It's not really meant to be portable. It's rigid and a bulky item for carrying. Maybe in a large backpack, but not in a thinner attache type case.

Personally, I would make it portable on some sort of telescopic pole, broom stick, or mast that you can take down when traveling. I dont believe it will do good permantly mounted on rv. I have mine mounted in the attic on 3/4" copper pipe.

The arm is not designed to be portable. However, you could take it apart fairly easily with a screw driver and two allen wrenches. But it is quite heavy and in my opinion would not be suitable for traveling.

Unfortunately it does not fold down. It is portable and light weight but would be difficult to bring along to the park with other accessories.

I've had it loaded for a dayhike for my wife an I (lots of water, some food, rain gear, first aid, etc) with no concerns whatsoever. I think unless you're planning on hauling bricks, you'll be just fine. I would have felt comfortable with it carrying twice the weight I'd given it, but I think it would become uncomfortable for the carrier. The pack isn't designed for very long and very heavy.

We don't leave ours outside so I don't really know about leaving it outside. If it is in a covered place that doesn't get wet regularly I would think it would hold up well. Our dog is a real lap dog but we use it in campgrounds and he loves it he seems very comfy on it. Hope it works for you.

It doesn't fold up. You'd have to disassemble it. It's not too difficult to disassemble and re-assemble, but it's more of a pain than merely folding it up.Truthfully, I don't know that I'd use it to travel and gig with...especially when you have it setup at the higher levels. It's stable enough for home use for me at the higher levels, but I wouldn't trust drunks around it. I'd pay the extra cash for something for stable.

Hello Anna. It's not the most portable thing. However, it is very easy to collapse the legs, and then move it around inside. There is a single bar keeping the legs apart, and when you unclick that you can bring the legs together. I've done this a couple of times to move it from downstairs to upstairs. I would not want to do that every day though, since its still pretty big.

did you actually take it to camping? I want to buy it for the same purpose. How was your experience with it?

holy smokes! what are you carrying a car battery? If the bike is balanced well, it should hold the weight but i don't know how stable it would be. I have put bikes that i think weigh 35 pounds on it. The cradle for the bottom bracket is basically hard plastic. if you're just doing routine maintenance on the bike it should be ok but probably not serious wrenching. i like my park tools 10 or 9 (can't remember). i had a tandem on the Park and it was a little iffy. Probably close to 70lbs but longer than a normal bike. Personally i think i wasted my money on the RAD.

Hello, and yes this would work, but I would also recommend a fold up style as well. We picked one of these up at Target, it is not as durable, but would take up less space to travel with.
