What is the difference?
The Easy Set up is the pool where you inflate the top ring and the pool rises as it fills with water. The metal frame pool is made from the almost same material as the easy set or pop up pool but the difference is it hangs from a metal circle frame with vertical metal pools for support.

The main difference between the pool is at the end of season. When you drain the easy set pool, collapses as you drain the water. This makes it really hard to clean and dry for winter storage. The metal frame is an actual structure. You can set up it each summer and clean before filling. At the end of the summer, you drain it and you still have a standing pool to clean before storing.
Does not sound like a big deal to you. Well, we pitched our easy set up after one season and replaced it with the metal frame. We have just set up are metal frame pool for its third season.
