Red Pool Cup Holders – Clip-On to Above Ground Pools with 2" or Less Round Top Rail – Above Ground Pool Cup Holder for Water, Beer & Wine, Phone & Accessories by Storage Theory - 4 Pack

The pool I have is this one: Summer Waves P2001448E14ft x 48in Outdoor Round Frame Above Ground Swimming Pool, which I purchased from Amazon. When I went searching for cup holders on the Amazon app, this product was recommended from the page of my pool. After reading reviews and searching outside of Amazon, I decided to try these cup holders, though I was aware there may be issues with the fit. That said, the fit was so much worse than I expected! Not only were they very loose anywhere I placed them around my pool, they poked into the top of my pool liner. Initially, I assumed I was going to have to return the cup holders, but there simply does not seem to be a good product on the market, so I decided to contact my inner MacGyver and see what I could do to make these work for my pool.My first attempts included using different lengths of zip ties and trying them in different areas on the cup holders as well as different bars on my pool. The closest I could get to a sturdy cup holder with this method was really quite bad; it would hold maybe a half-full soda can, but the cup holder wouldn’t be steady at all.In the photo, you’ll see I circled a tab that is at the bottom back of the cup holder. I removed this (with a wire cutter because I was in full MacGyver mode) and smoothed out the edge to ensure nothing would snag my pool liner. After that, I placed the holder at one of the vertical posts of my pool and grabbed three extra-long zip ties. I put one zip tie around each ‘arm’ on top of the pole and one through the bottom of the cup holder and around the vertical bar of the pool. When the zip ties were pulled tightly, the cup holder does not budge. I am now able to put a large, stainless steel cup filled with ice and drink in the holder and it is completely steady. My biggest complaint now is that the zip ties are quite noticeable (they are ‘clear’ in color) and it looks cheap, similar to how classy duct tape makes things appear.So, after spending a couple of hours messing with the cup holders, they’re great! Out of the box, not so much. Buyer beware.

We bought these as a gift for our friends' new pool Initially, they did not sit level but after a slight modification to the lower bumper piece they worked great. Our friends loved them so much they are buying some more

works as intended. I also tried using them in my side by side on the frame of the door. works for that also as long as I am not bumping around real fast since they just hang loosely.

First and foremost, I didnt receive the correct amount of cup holders. I’m sure this will be handled accordingly by amazon, so we’ll proceed.I bought this seeing how it was only supposed to work on round frames up to 2”. My frame is oval and right above 2.5” and its a stretch, but still works! When i had a full drink, it falls over a little. I typically have covered drinks so thats no big deal for me, just know, if you have an open cup that might cause it to spill. Other than that, I’m pleased to have a cup holder for my pool!

I tried to put these on my rails for my 16ft Intex above ground pool but they were a bit small. Then I found they fit perfectly in the slits by each leg!
