An above ground swimming pool can be a great addition to your backyard, providing a fun and refreshing way to cool off during hot summer days. Here are some factors to consider when choosing an above ground swimming pool:- Location: Choose a sunny area that's protected from wind and away from trees. This ensures warmth and reduces the amount of debris that falls into the pool.
- Type: Above ground pools come in many shapes and sizes that fit a variety of uses and situations. This includes semi-submerged, fiberglass, steel, and vinyl. Each type has its own pros and cons based on your specific location where the pool will be installed.
- Budget: Take into consideration every variable when deciding on what type of pool to get to ensure that the purchase made is the correct one. This includes location limitations, material preference, shape, usage, and budget.
- he most affordable above-ground pool is one that has a plastic frame and vinyl liner. The next step up would be a metal frame pool, which offers more stability and has a slightly longer lifespan than a plastic frame option.
- Size: Depending on the space and the landscape of your backyard, you will want to choose the right size and type when buying an above ground pool.
- You want to first make sure you have sufficient room for the pool in your backyard – make sure you understand any city easements that may be in place and if you have any utility lines running through your backyard.
- Maintenance: You will want to watch the following 3 readings weekly: pH, alkalinity, and chlorine. For a chlorine-based pool, you'll want to maintain your pH reading between.
- Installation: Typically, it takes about 4-6 hours to level out the designated space and set up the pool.
