Are you going to be living in your current house until you downsize? Are there any potential moves in your future? Do you have the budget for an inground swimming pool? We have put together 6 benefits of above ground pools for those families who want a pool, but not the financial outlay or commitment.
An above ground pool, the swimming pool contractors from Imperial Pools, Inc in Decatur, IL says, are leaps and bounds above where they were in the past. An above ground pool can have a deck, seating area, diving board, heater, water features and more — just like an inground pool would, but at a fraction of the cost.
Keep in mind, though just because this pool may cost less, it is not an inexpensive proposition and there is ongoing care and maintenance with this pool style, just as there is for inground pools and even hot tubs.
6 benefits of above ground pools
If you always believed it was an inground pool or nothing or if you remember when you were growing up those friends who had above ground pools that always seemed to collapse, read on because there have been many positive changes!
- If you think you’re moving in the future (and most families move every seven years) an inground pool is a major financial outlay that you can’t take with you. You could potentially take your above ground pool.
- The budget just isn’t there for all that an inground pool requires
- You think you want to commit, at some point, to an inground pool, but not just yet. An above ground model may be the way to go
- Above ground pools may take up less space, although if space is an issue, you may want a lap pool
- You’re renting the house you’re in
- These pools can be decorated and surrounded by a deck and you may never be able to tell they are above ground pools — although honestly they are so beautiful you’ve got nothing to hide.
For some handy DIYers, you might be able to grab a few friends and have the above ground pool put up in a weekend. Others may want to contact a swimming pool contractor and ask if he or she will take on your project for you; some will. Who will clean and maintain the pool once erected? Don’t leave this to chance or to not knowing the answer until the water is green.
Here are two above ground styles to think about:
- A hybrid – this is a steel and resin mix that offers the advantages of both materials to make the pool durable but is a bit less expensive than a…
- Steel pool. These are one of the most expensive styles but they are heavy coated metal and will withstand a lot of wear, tear and weather.
