What Type of Above Ground Pool is Best for You?

There are several ways that you can go about putting in a new pool in your backyard. The first thin that you need to do is take the measurements of your back yard. This will help you to determine what size pool you will be getting. Once you know exactly what size pool will fit into your yard you will then want to visit you local store that sells above ground pools. Although most people tend to automatically think about going to a swimming pool store, I would recommend against this. Usually pool stores will charge you a lot more money. You can find the same type of above ground pools at any Home Depot, or Costco Store. Most of these pools even come with step by step instructions.

Once you have purchased your pool, you will then need to prepare the ground that you will be laying the pool on. Most pools now come in pool kit’s, that will make it very easy for you to set up a pool. However if you want a deck connected to your pool, it is also possible for you to add this yourself, if you are handy. When putting up an above ground pool, it is very important that you have someone to help you. Even though this is a do it yourself project, you still will need an extra set of hands. You will need someone to hold the walls for you while you adjust the pool lining. It really is not as difficult as it may sound. The longest and hardest part is actually waiting for the pool to fill with water. If you prefer not to buy the metal above ground pools you can also buy the quick set pools. These type of pools do not have the hard walls, but they are very simple to fill up. You just hook up the hose and the pool will inflate. It is the quickest and easiest set up I have ever seen. These pools only take abut twenty minutes to set up. They come in various sizes and styles. Just because it is a quick set pool does not mean that it will be a small pool.

If you are still having trouble trying to decide on a quick set pool or a metal above ground pool you need to decide what you and your family want. The quick set pool will definitely require a lot less maintenance especially in the winter months. But if you are looking for something a lot more permanent than you will want to go with the above ground metal pool. These type of pools will allow you to add a deck and make it a more permanent fixture in your backyard.
