Above Ground Pool Installation & Replacement

The origin of the Above Ground Pool

Since the dawn of humanity, we’ve been creatures drawn to water. There are countless examples of humanity harvesting the power and properties of water--so it comes as no surprise that millions of us have pools in our yards, and sometimes even inside of our homes.

In the early days of widespread man-made pools, there wasn’t really a cheaper alternative than an inground pool. Then in the late 1920’s manufacturers began toying with the idea of an above ground model--though what they managed to come up with at the time was crude, it laid the groundwork for the fantastic options we have on the market today.

Though we are all likely familiar with the old school models of swimming pools that many of us had as children, with their aluminum frames and shimmery blue and white liners, there are many different options to choose from today. Modern models come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, including the classic round, and ovular shapes, along with new ones that are a little more out of the box.

Many choices for a totally customized pool

There are many different frame choices, including:

• Traditional Steel/Metal Framed
• Resin Framed
• Hybrid Pools, which use a mixture of the two above
• Radiant Pools which are also known as ‘semi-inground’, formed of Expanded Polystyrene

Each pool frame has its own unique benefits and advantages. With that and so many other choices to make, the job may begin to seem overwhelming. But don’t worry, because a licensed professional can help guide the way, and make sure that you end up with a pool that works for you and your family's needs, without the huge sum, or construction project that a traditional inground pool would require.
