Invest in Your Backyard. Invest in Family Time.
A pool is more than a product, it is a place where families gather, kids grow up, and memories are made. The Rio Grande Round is engineered by H.I.I., the makers behind trusted Doughboy pools, with American-made construction and premium materials designed to last. We don’t just sell pools… we help families invest in their backyards by creating a space where everyone wants to be together all summer.
Why Choose a Rio Grande Round Pool
If you are just thinking about an above ground pool, the Rio Grande Round offers:
- A classic, symmetrical round shape that fits easily into many backyard layouts
- Open, unobstructed swim area that is perfect for floating, playing, and casual laps
- Strong steel construction designed to handle real world conditions, from active kids to changing weather
Round pools are especially popular with first-time pool owners because they are straightforward to position, provide even water circulation, and maximize usable space.
What Makes Rio Grande Different
When you begin comparing models, you want to know how they are built. The Rio Grande Steel Round Above-Ground Pool Package is part of the River View Series and is made in America by H.I.I., the manufacturer of Doughboy, Lomart, and Embassy PoolCo for over 75 years.
Heavier copper-bearing steel walls
Rio Grande walls use heavier copper-bearing steel than typical industry standards, often 30 to 60 pounds heavier than competing models of similar size, which translates into additional strength and stability once the pool is assembled and filled.
8-inch steel top rails and 8-inch steel verticals
- 8-inch baked enamel steel top rails are made from 20-gauge steel, providing sturdier support than many competing models and increasing long-term performance
- 8-inch steel verticals are up to 50 percent heavier than competitors, helping ensure maximum stability and a rigid, secure feel
- An earth tone color scheme gives the pool a neutral, timeless look that blends well with most backyards
For the round Rio Grande sizes, you get a traditional round support pattern around the pool. Compac Supports apply only to the oval Rio Grande models, so your round footprint stays simple and tidy.
Limited lifetime warranty
Rio Grande carries a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, demonstrating H.I.I.’s confidence in this steel pool design.

FAQs
How will the pool be delivered?
All Rio Grande components and any optional add-ons are packaged together on a pallet and shipped via premium FedEx LTL freight directly to your home at no additional cost. Delivery is typically 5 to 10 business days, and an adult must be present to sign for the shipment.
What if a part is missing?
If any part, big or small, is missing from your order, the manufacturer will send a replacement part to you as soon as possible so your installation stays on track.
Who is the manufacturer of this pool?
All parts and accessories are manufactured in the USA by H.I.I., the long-time manufacturer behind Doughboy, Lomart, and Embassy Pool Co pools.
What is the difference between sand filters and D.E. filters?
Sand filters use a bed of sand to trap dirt and debris and are straightforward to operate and maintain, ideal for most families. D.E. filters use diatomaceous earth powder on internal grids to capture finer particles for extra clear water, but they require more hands-on maintenance and backwashing.
What does a liner pad do?
A liner floor pad acts as a protective, cushioned barrier between the ground or sand base and the vinyl liner. Made of tough geotextile material, it helps prevent punctures from rocks, roots, or grass, adds a soft feel to the pool floor, prevents weeds from growing through, and reduces visible footprints.
What is included in the maintenance kit?
The maintenance starter kit includes a vac hose, leaf skimmer, telescoping pole, thermometer, brush, and vac head.
What size pool is right for my backyard?
Your yard must have a flat, level area with power access for the pump and filter, plus enough room for pool entry, equipment placement, and any decking or fencing you plan to add. If you are unsure which Rio Grande round size is best, our pool experts can help match the model to your space and budget.
Is this pool suitable for cold climates?
Yes. With proper winterization, your Rio Grande Steel Round pool can stay assembled and operate seasonally for many years, even in regions with harsh winters.
Why Doughboy‑Engineered Pools Stand Out
Doughboy-engineered above-ground pools, such as the Rio Grande Round, are often considered superior to many budget brands because they use heavier copper-bearing steel walls and oversized structural components for greater strength and stability. Multi-step corrosion protection with baked enamel finishes helps defend against rust and condensation, while deep, balanced corrugation in the walls improves vertical strength and maintains structural integrity over time. These advantages translate into a pool that not only looks great but also holds up to real world use year after year.
