QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

on Swimming Pools

What are the different types of swimming pools?

There are two main types of swimming pools—Inground and Above Ground. The initial difference is how the pool is installed. Inground pools are built into the ground. Above Ground pools are built on top of the ground. Some of the biggest deciding factors have to do with cost, maintenance, features, aesthetics and water temperature.  If you have a large/unlimited budget and you want a feature-rich pool, you may prefer an Inground pool.  If you want a feature-rich pool that costs less, requires less maintenance, and has a more natural look than an Inground pool, and it stays warm year round, you would prefer a wooden Above Ground pool.

What is an Above Ground pool?

Above Ground pools are built on top of the ground. The benefits of an above ground pool include affordability, quick installation and the ability to add or integrate with a deck. However, there are drawbacks when you go with an aluminum or steel above ground pool. These drawbacks include aesthetics that do not complement your yard, average durability, and difficulty when selling your house and/or moving the above ground pool to a new residence. If you choose to go with a wooden above ground pool, you’ll achieve a more natural setting in your backyard, enhancing your resale value and simplifying the ability to transport the pool to a new residence.

What is an Inground pool?

Inground pools are built into the ground.  The benefits of an inground pool include features, customization, aesthetics and home resale value.  However,  there are drawbacks when you go with an inground pool. These drawbacks include the high costs to install, the costs to remove an inground pool if necessary, more potential local regulations and taxes, more time to clean the pool, and a higher electricity bill for heating the pool. If you want inground pool features (like walk-in stairs or LED lights), customization, aesthetics and resale value at a fraction of the cost, you may want to consider a wooden above ground.

How much does a swimming pool cost?

Depending on the type of swimming pool—inground or above ground—swimming pools can range anywhere from $1,000 to well over $100,000. This is not taking into consideration the labor and installation, potential local property taxes, improvements to the surrounding area required by local regulations, repairs, and increased utilities like electrical. View our Pool Cost by State Chart. When comparing pool types, above ground pools are the most affordable because of the speed of installation and minimal labor requirements.  To further drive cost-savings, some pool owners choose a Do-it-Yourself above ground swimming pool kit.

What is the most common size of swimming pool?

When it comes to inground swimming pools, it is difficult to measure based on their curved ‘kidney-shaped’ design, but we have seen quite a few 16′ x 32′ rectangular shaped inground pools.  Inground swimming pool depths vary widely and is one of the most customized areas because of their popularity with divers.  Above ground pools typically range in depth from four to five feet, whereas their dimensions vary based on whether you choose a rectangular, circular or oval shaped pool.  We sell round pools as wide as 27 feet, and oval pools 33 feet in length.  Most if not all above ground pools do not permit diving and jumping based on their shallower depths, which is why they are more popular with families who practice pool safety.
