Everyone,
Myself and my two partners have just finished up and launched what has been a long ongoing project. We were hoping to have this completed a long time ago but we have all had some pretty major life changing events along the way, from babies to new houses, that slowed the process.
But as stated in a previous post I wanted to share our new opening with all of you. As some of you know we are Bradley dealers but we are also offering many other items some of you may enjoy. We just went live on Tuesday and would love any feedback you can give us. We are still fixing a few minor glitches but the site is fully operational.
http://www.yardandpool.com
Since the site is very new we are pretty much non-existent in the search engines so any of you that decide to check the site out and give it a go will be acting as our beta testers. As a thank you there is a coupon code located on the home page for 10% off your first order.
Just so you know a little more about the company it was started three years ago by myself and two very good friends. All three of us also have full time jobs and are doing this on our own time for now. We hope to expand the business and open our own retail locations in the very near future. We are far from done with our store inventory and will be adding new products all the time to the site.
Even if just to take a look I hope you can stop by and give us your feedback because I value all of your opinions. If you have any questions about myself, the site or any products we offer please feel free to contact me. As I said I also work full time in addition so the best way to reach me is by email,
[email protected]. I have access to my email at all times and can respond very quickly.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for reading this.

Got a question for you.
I have a new 21' round above ground that i have not yet had installed. I only have 2 places on my property for it, behind the garage or on top of the rock/sand mound. The township sewage guy said i could put it on the mound but it might start to sink in a couple years.
Any thoughts on it.

Congrats on the new venture; I've added your site to my IE favorites.
Note that you have a "games" category too. Will you be selling lawn darts? Haven't seen those in quite a while, and probably for some pretty obvious reasons.
Best wishes for a prosperous experience. I look forward to checking out your products.

I'll have to show your post to my partner, Ice. She's been pushing for a pool for 2 years now. I'm reluctant because here on the coast July and August are the only 2 months where it is truly warm enough for an outdoor pool. I keep telling her there is a big pool called the Pacific Ocean 5 minutes walk from our house but she says she wants one without any seaweed! I respond by telling her there's plenty of women who pay $100 for a seaweed wrap at the spa--but she's not buying that one either! ON the other hand, I love our hot tub cause you can use it all year.

Bryan;
Good luck with your business. I haven't checked out the site yet, but plan to do so soon.
Lawn darts! I haven't heard of that game in over 40 years. If they haven't banned them early on, they should have. When I was a kid we used to do some stupid a## things with them. If we had video cameras back them, I probably could have made the first "Jack A##" movie. Lawn dart!!! ;D
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Consiglieri,
As of right now our game category is going to consist of games for your rec room. For example billiards, dart boards, air hockey, etc.
We may add Lawn Darts down the road but I do not think they will be the ones you are looking for. I remember playing with those as a kid. The huge metal spikes with fins that mom and dad thought were a good idea to put into me and my brothers hands..LOL I remember throwing those things as high as I could. Can't believe neither one of us ever got impaled with one of those.
Ah yes, lawn darts. I remember them well. Used to go out shortly after a rain, throw them high and see how deep they'd go into the ground....near our backyard 500 gallon propane tank.
Glad to see someone is taking up some slack since Bubba got out best wishes, maybe later you can run some good deals like he did !cajun!
Good looking site... when I get a moment or so I will add it to our vendor's list.
As far as pools go back in the early 80s a neighbor of mine had what he called a natural pool. It really was a pond / pool. He used no chemicals; it had a membrane on the bottom and the water was pumped through it and then into a filter and then into some kind of chamber that killed bacteria; then it was returned to the pool. He had plants, and fish in it.
If I remember correctly it went from 3 foot to 10 foot in depth. It was really neat the way he put it together. It had Bass, Brim, and other fish as well has crawfish, and fresh water shrimp. Swimming in it was very interesting.
Years later when he passed on the new owners just filled it in with soil.... so to have a pool or not to have a pool is an individual's choice.
Thank you Olds. I appreciate that. ;D
Best of luck with your venture into the world of Bradley.
Gotta say that I was kidding about the lawn darts. With the new boy, I've been thinking of some of the poorer decisions I made growing up and seeing the reference to yard reminded me of those lawn darts. The other posts in this thread really point out what was making me smile... I have a shiny little scar on my left shin/calf as a reminder of the day we played chicken (I closed my eyes) with lawn darts on the afternoon before we saw--- I am not making this up---- Saturday Night Fever. Was quite a coup to find some parents willing to take us boys to that movie so had to bite my toungue and not tell anyone about the mishap. Worse part was that I had to put a sh!tload of methiolate on the wound myself. But I won cuz no one would hold against my next toss (heh, heh).
Glad to see I wasn't the only male that made it to middle age against all odds. I told my wife that I was glad we had a son. Not for the ego reasons but because I know where most of the landmines are buried and could help steer (like any of us paid attention to Dad's steering). The common lawndart escapades prove my point. ::)
All kidding aside, your site looks beautiful and I'm looking forward to checking out the stuff.
