Differences Between 3 pool Types | In-Ground, Above Ground, On Ground

Next summer when the mercury is rising, the kids are out of school and pleading to go swimming. What to do?

Take them to the local swimming hole or put a pool in your own backyard.

You have 3 options for your very own swimming pool.

1. Above Ground Pool

This is the least expensive pool type
They are quick and easy to install
They are designed for the do-it-yourselfer, and can be up and running within days of purchase, which contributes to a lower cost.
They are also easy to dismantle and move if you should so desire.
They can be installed in areas where it would have been impossible to install in in-ground pool because of limited space or ground conditions.

2. In-ground Pool

Takes a lot more planning and if it’s a big project, can sometimes take weeks to complete.
Access for the excavators is also to be considered, 8 feet is ideal but we can sometimes work with less.
In-ground pools are permanent structures and careful consideration should be given as to size, depth, location and landscaping.
The cost of building an in-ground pool should also to be taken into account, but this is offset in most cases, with an increase property value.
60-70 years ago, in-ground swimming pools were for the wealthy, however, advances in materials (i.e., steel and vinyl liners), and construction methods have made this type of pool attainable to the vast middle class.

3. On-ground Pool

Made from the same material as in-ground pools, but is installed partially in-ground.
About 18” on average.
With the addition of a wood deck this type of pool can be installed for approximately half the price of a full in-ground pool.
Looks as inviting as an in-ground installation based on how and where it is built, which can be discussed with the Leisure Industries team.

A Pool For Everyone, Everywhere

Don’t think a pool is out of reach.

Go into your backyard, stick four screwdrivers into the ground roughly where the pool will go, sprinkle flour around the perimeter and stand back to image your pool in that area.
