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 River Bend Oval is engineered by H.I.I., the makers behind well-known Doughboy pools, using American-made materials and time-tested designs for long-term reliability. We don’t just sell pools… we help families invest in their backyards by creating inviting spaces where everyone wants to be together all summer.
Why Choose an Oval Pool with Built-In Steps
If you are just starting to think about an above ground pool, River Bend with the built-in step system offers:
- A sleek oval footprint that feels more like an inground pool, ideal for games, floats, and casual laps
- A 4-foot wide InWall Entry Step that makes getting in and out easier and more comfortable while doubling as built-in seating and play space in the water
- A hybrid design, heavier copper-bearing steel wall with a full resin frame, that balances strength, corrosion resistance, and style
The integrated steps give you the convenience and safety of a walk-in entry when paired with a deck, making this package especially attractive for families and frequent hosts.
What Makes the River Bend Step Package Different
As you compare pool packages, materials, structure, and entry systems are what set River Bend apart. The River Bend Oval Resin Above Ground Pool Package with Built-In Steps 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
River Bend walls are made from heavier copper-bearing steel than typical industry standards, often 30 to 60 pounds heavier than competing models of similar size, which translates into added strength and stability once the pool is filled.
8-inch resin top rails and 8-inch resin verticals
- 8-inch resin top rails and 8-inch resin verticals are extruded for a smooth finish that helps eliminate top rail rocking and improves structural strength
- Resin components are naturally corrosion-resistant and stay more comfortable to the touch in the sun
- Earth tone resin top connectors give the pool a warm, upscale look that complements many backyard styles
Compac Supports for Oval Pools
For River Bend oval pools, Compac Supports extend only about 9 inches beyond the sidewall instead of the more typical 36 inches, allowing larger oval sizes to fit into smaller or tighter backyards while maintaining structural integrity.
4 ft InWall Entry Step system
- A 4-foot-wide InWall Entry Step is delivered pre-assembled, saving time and reducing complexity during installation
- The step is integrated into the pool wall, increasing the usable swimming and lounging area versus many freestanding step units
- The InWall step system carries a 5-year warranty and is designed to be accessed from an attached deck for a safe, walk-in entry and exit
40-year pool warranty
River Bend includes a 40-year warranty against manufacturing defects on the pool structure, offering long-term peace of mind.

FAQs
How will the pool be delivered?
All River Bend pool components, InWall step, 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, large or small, is missing from your order, the manufacturer will send a replacement part to you as soon as possible so your installation can continue with minimal delay.
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 softer 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 access to power for the pump and filter, plus enough room for the oval footprint, built-in step location, deck, and equipment. If you are unsure which River Bend oval 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 River Bend Oval Resin pool with built-in steps can stay assembled and operate seasonally for many years, even in regions with harsh winters[?].
Why Doughboy‑Engineered Step Pools Stand Out
Doughboy engineered above ground pools like the River Bend Oval are often considered superior to many budget brands because they combine heavier copper-bearing steel walls with robust resin structural components for additional strength and stability. Multi-step corrosion protection and quality finishes help defend against rust and condensation, while deep, balanced corrugation in the walls improves vertical strength and maintains structural integrity over time[?]. Paired with the integrated InWall step system, these advantages create a pool that looks great, feels solid and secure, and holds up to real-world use year after year.
