Pool Pros And Cons: Above Or In The Ground?

Pool Pros And Cons: Above Or In The Ground?

By:


Above ground pools

Pros

* Above ground pools can be installed on your property without any digging required. They are on the whole cheaper because of this and the locations they can be installed are more various.
* If you want, you can disassemble and reassemble your pool according to the seasons, leaving you with no pool maintenance upkeep during the winter.
* Swimming in an above ground pool, your eyes are not below ground level. You are thus more able to enjoy your garden or surroundings.
* As it is above ground, your pool can in theory be moved a lot easier than an in-ground pool should you need to.
* You can build decking around your above-ground pool to give the illusion of an in-ground pool.

Cons

* Some above-ground models may need the same permits as an in-ground pool.
* Typically an above-ground pool will not last as long as an in-ground pool.
* The consequences of a leak (very very rare) could be a lot more damaging to your property.
* Having the pool above ground makes it harder for parents to keep an eye on their children.
* An above ground pool could potentially block a view that would otherwise be unhindered by an in-ground pool.

In-ground pools

Pros

* In-ground pools are more permanent and give that impression to potential property valuers.
* Your pool need not be the focus of your garden or yard, especially in the winter months when youre unlikely (or mad) to be using it.
* The pool pump and filter you install in your in-ground pool is likely to be of far better quality than an above-ground.
* You can landscape around an in-ground pool with a view to permanence.

Cons

* You will need to maintain your pool all year round, even though you may use it for only a third of the year or less.
* Expensive excavation is required to install a pool. You will also need permits and permissions from the council, and you may have to compromise on your ideal location due to hidden pipes.
* The location of your pool is fixed and very expensive to remove should you want to build on the land at some future time.

The right pool for you will be the one that matches your lifestyle. A well established home will suit an excavated in-ground pool, whereas a more transient home will suit an above-ground, semi permanent solution. Regardless of which type you choose, its no secret that a pool brings out the best of Summer.
