    Above-Ground Swimming Pools: Is There One in Your Future?

    By Young Insurance | Archives | Comments are Closed | 12 October, 2012 | 0

    By Barbara Pronin, RISMedia Columnist
    An in-ground pool can provide your family with great exercise and hours of fun – and it will likely add value to your home. But if the cost is prohibitive, you may be wondering about installing an above-ground alternative.
    “These days, clever use of decks and landscaping can make an above-ground pool look attractive and professional,” said installer Pete Sevich.
    Aside from the considerable price difference, Sevich offers the primary pros and cons of installing an above-ground pool:

    The Pros

    • Space – While there are many sizes available, any type will take up less space than an in-ground pool. There are even inflatable pools that can be blown up when you wish and then deflated and stored. At the same time, even small above-ground pools can be set up permanently if you wish, especially if you have space for a larger model.
    • Flexibility – An in-ground pool remains with the home for as long as you live in it – even if you tire of the maintenance or no longer want to use it. An above-ground pool can be disassembled and removed at will – or taken with you if you move.
    • Maintenance – Pools above ground require much less maintenance than in-ground models. They need to have the water topped off, will need to be skimmed of debris, and will require regular chlorine or other cleaning treatments. Larger pools may even require a filter. But they will not need the extensive maintenance that in-ground pools require.
    • Installation – Above-ground pool installation is a snap compared with in-ground versions. Usually, installation can take a few hours to a few days compared to weeks of intensive construction for in-ground pools.
    The Cons
    • Aesthetics – Even the most attractively installed above-ground pool may not offer the ambience of an in-ground model. They are more noticeable, since they sit above the ground, and may not blend as easily into the backyard décor.
    • Size – Even the largest above ground swimming pools can’t provide the swimming space of in-ground pools. Also, above-ground pools are the same depth throughout, so there is no shallow end for kids or a deeper end for diving.
    • Permits – Be sure to check with your city or township to determine whether above-ground pools are allowed in backyards. Find out if a permit is required and whether there are any restrictions.
