Hi cdm,
Not sure about suppliers there but should be no problem shipping from U.K. Woodside will ship for you, no probs & if you buy from likes of Amazon etc you usually get free delivery so drop direct to Woodside yard. Simples !! We have just done this (not with pool but with other furniture items for new property purchase). Hope this helps, cheers . . Ron

Also look at cost of shipping direct, as Amazon will ship it free of Vat ro The Canaries, so you need to weigh up Woodside costs versus direct shipping minus savings on VAT. We have done this with some items, not as large as what you are proposing, but still worth checking.

Hi again JR2,
Is that Amazon UK or is there a Spanish version ? Didn't think any of these delivered to the islands.
I briefly looked at a pool, one of the metal framed 13 foot round ones, the son in law has one for his place in France & thought it was good. The box for these is only about 1/16 th of a cubic metre so can't see Woodside charging too much for this but may be wrong. Will be looking at it again later this year,
cheers . . Ron

For info we used to have a metal framed pool.  It lasted about 3 summers and stored away in between.  The large plastic pools last about 18 months before sun etc destroys the top.
