Intex Round Frame Above Ground Pool Set Up

Above ground pools are probably the most popular form of swimming pool today. As the name tells you an above ground swimming pool is a pool that sits on top of the ground rather than being buried.

Above ground pools provide a number of advantages over their in ground equivalents. One of the key benefits is, of course, safety. It is far more difficult for a child or a pet to fall into an above ground pool as they will generally have to climb steps to gain access.

Another key advantage is installation simplicity. Above ground swimming pools generally require far less ground work preparation before installation. In fact many can be built by competent DIY enthusiasts and there are some excellent swimming pool kits that make owning your own pool very affordable.

There are a variety of above ground pool designs to choose from. These include both wooden and metal framed pools along with vinyl sided pools. Splasher pools are a good example of easy-to-install fun backyard swimming pools. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes suitable for most back gardens. From compact circular splasher pools with a depth of only 36 inches to much more substantial elliptical pools that are great for the whole family.

If you are seriously thinking about an above ground pool here are a few things to consider:

How big is the area for your above ground swimming pool? Remember that people will need to get around the pool so its necessary to leave adequate clearance.

Who will be using the pool? If the pool is to be used by non-swimmers and young children it is a good idea to choose a shallower pool.

During which part of the year will the pool be used? Most outdoor swimming pool owners in Europe will often only use their pools during the peak summer months. You can extend the time during which your pool is usable with the insulation provided by a suitable pool enclosure.

What additional pool accessories will be needed? Often overlooked. You may want a suitable pool heating system, a good pool cover to keep out debris, cleaners, filters and water treatment chemicals.

Armed with this information you should then contact at least two reputable swimming pool supply companies with the details of your requirements. They should be able to suggest several models of above ground swimming pools that fulfil your requirements.

Many are finding that there has never been a better time to invest in a pool for their back garden. Competition between pool supply companies is fierce and many people are tightening their belts and not spending on luxury items like swimming pools. Now could be the time to find yourself a bargain.
