Above Ground And In Ground Pools

By Darren Hartley


Budget and surroundings are the considerations in deciding whether above ground pools or in ground pools are the pools that suit the home. In ground pools installed in the backyard are almost expected in regions of the country where it is warm most of the year. Above ground pools may fit the bill in cooler areas as well as tighter budgets.

To add value to a home, in ground pools may be permanently installed. They enhance the landscape by their provision of a water feature that creates a pleasant view from inside the house or from a patio or deck. In addition to this, they also provide a place for entertaining, exercising and lounging.

The initial expense, as a pool is considered a major investment and their yearly maintenance are the drawbacks to the installation of in ground pools. Maintenance here refers to the boost to the electric bill, a hike in the water bill, the chemicals, cleaning, opening and closing for the seasons.

Pleasant above ground pools are choices for homeowners who want a pool in a hurry or are on a tight budget. One advantage to above ground pools is their installation in just a matter of days. They arrive in kit form and are erected by a team of installers.

Decking and railing options, that may either be included in the price or added on at purchase, are available for many higher ended above ground pools. Because they can be heated to extend swimming time, kids have the tendency to love them. With their built-in fencing and locking gate options, they are safe for kids but an adult is still required to monitor the kids.

Their inability to add value to a home is the major drawback to above ground pools. They are neither safe nor suitable for diving because they typically come only 48 to 52 inches deep. Some problems shared by both in ground pools and above ground pools are water evaporation and maintenance issues.
