Above ground pools are an affordable alternative to inground pools. While they cannot be customized to the same level as inground pools, there are still many different styles of above ground pool to choose from. Below are some tips on how to choose the right above ground pool for your backyard.

Consider your budget

Above ground pools can cost anywhere from $800 to $4500, and there are often additional labor costs if you are unable to assemble the pool yourself. It’s possible to buy pools on finance to help spread out the cost. Whether you choose to buy outright or use finance, make sure to set a budget so that you don’t end up spending more than you can afford. While the summer months are the most popular times to splash out on an above ground pool, you may find that it’s cheaper to buy a pool out of season – many companies offer discounts in Fall when the demand slows down. 

Measure your space

How much space do you have in your backyard for a pool? It’s important that you measure the space so that you don’t accidentally buy a pool that’s too big (it happens!). A small pool may be all you need if you’re just looking for a pool for one or two people to relax in. If you want to host pool parties or practise your swimming, a larger pool may be necessary. Make sure to also consider the shape. 

Don’t overlook the height

Above ground pools also come in different heights from 48” to 72”. Lower pools are more popular due to being safer and more accessible – they’re ideal if you have kids or have mobility issues that make scaling a ladder difficult. Taller pools have the advantage of being deeper, which could make them more suitable for swimming in. 

Select the right material

Three main materials are typically used to build above ground pools: steel, aluminum or resin. Steel pools are the sturdiest option, aluminium pools offer better corrosion resistance and resin pools are lightweight making them easier to move. The liner is usually made from PVC but can come in a variety of textures and patterns. Take your time to compare different above ground pool liners and find one that is the right style for you. 

Add some accessories

There are all kinds of accessories that you can add to an above ground pool. These include:

  • A pump/filter: Useful to keep the water clean. 
  • A ladder: Necessary for taller pools.
  • A pool cover: This can prevent debris falling in.
  • Pool lighting: For illuminating your pool after dark.
  • Pool heating: This could encourage you to use your pool all year round. 
  • A waterfall: A fun water feature to help with filtration. 
  • Drink holders: So that you can enjoy drinks in the pool.
  • A slide: A great accessory if you have kids.

There are many stores online that sell above ground pool accessories. Using these accessories, you can customize your pool to your lifestyle.
