Lion Country Supply has good plans on how to build one cheap. It breaks down for storage also.

Build one yourself. Just make sure to put a lip around the edges so that mom can not press pup up against edge and suffocate. I will be glad to send picutres of mine if you would like.

Pool works fine but another version I have used several times is to build one with cheap wood fence boards. Nail to 2x4's as tall as you will need to keep pups in till you ready to get rid of em and you can add boards as needed to keep em in.
