For most families getting a swimming pool is a luxury, however, for families who want to teach their kids to swim and spend time with them, an above ground pool is more suitable. Above ground pool can be disassembled for easy storage, giving you more options than normal pools, so that you can always get your yard back.

The pools come in different shapes and sizes, and those features determine their usability. Above ground pools are great but there are some things to consider before buying one. Check the things below before buying.

Buyer’s Guide

Shape: Round or Oval

Your choice of shape is determined by the size of your yard. This is because the shape of your pool VS the size of the yard must fit the regulations of your local ordinances. The oval pool might seem bigger but the round one might be better to fit with the local ordinances.

Oval pools and round pools might hold the same amount of water, but bear in mind that oval pools are more expensive because they require more parts to keep it together.

Depth                 

How deep do you want your pool to be? If it’s for kids then you need more shallow pools, if for adults then get deeper ones. The deeper the pool the more gallons of water it will need. 

Size

Consider the size of your backyard before making a purchase. The size of your backyard VS the pool must fit with the local pool ordinances to avoid any run ins with the law. 

Frame Style

Frames are the top ledges, uprights, bottom rails and plates of the pool. Above Ground Pool frames are usually made of steel, resin, aluminum or a hybrid.

Steel

They are strong, heavy and least expensive. However, it can corrode and oxidize if exposed to constant sunlight and saltwater.

Resin

Resin doesn’t rust, corrode or oxidize like steel does. It’s more expensive though but will hold up better against water or the elements. It will not heat up as much as steel does.

Hybrid

A hybrid type is made of both steel and resin materials. Typically the parts exposed to water are made of resin while steel is used for parts that provide most support. Each hybrid pool is different so be sure to check out the specification. Made from both materials means it’s the best of both worlds.

After taking all these factors into consideration, you will now be ready to buy a pool.
