There are five types of above ground pools in the market which are installed for residential and commercial purpose. They are :

  1. Semi Inground
  2. Rolled Wall Aluminum
  3. Resin
  4. steel
  5. and Hybrid.

In this post, I’ll give you the highlights of each above-ground pools so you can choose which is right for you and your family.

  1. The Aluminum semi in-ground pool

The semi in-ground is just what the name suggests .it is semi in-ground capable. The wall is made of 1/4 inch thick tongue-and-groove aluminum slats that slide together this makes the wall strong and capable of being sunk into the earth about halfway.

However, with a proper slurry mix between the pool walls and earth, it can be done. It is just more expensive to do. One would have to weigh the costs of doing this or opting for a semi in-ground pool.

If your yard has a slope or you are planning a deck and want to use fewer materials in constructing then a semi in-ground is perfect for your situation.

This pool takes advantage of a sloped yard and the deck is made with fewer materials. Another feature of the semi in-ground pool is that saltwater sanitation is a perfect choice for this pool being made of thick aluminum. It will not rust out from contact with salts.

This pool choice is the most expensive of the common style above-ground pools.

2. Rolled wall aluminum pool

It is made of one continuous sheet of aluminum. The same as all the other rolled wall pools but instead of a steel wall. It has an aluminum wall.

All the components of this pool are also aluminum and this makes for a pool that doesn’t rust and is good for saltwater sanitation systems.

It is second in pricing behind its big brother the semi in-ground pool. Its costs are between semi and ground and resin pools.

3. Resin

The resin style pool was invented back in the 80s by a company called aqua liter and over the years has been improved tenfold.

There are a few things one should consider when choosing a resin style pool

  • Resin material
  • Saltwater applications
  • Versatility
  • And costs.

let’s start with the material. you want a good quality resin.

Most pool builders place resin pools into two categories of materials used

  1. In flex resin
  2. and lower quality resin.

You know the lower quality resin. We are referring to the resin that cracks when it’s cold and softens when it’s hot and is generally cheap quality.

The second type is CIN flex or talc-filled resin material. It is made for the long haul. It will not crack in the colder climates and will be cool to the touch when it is hot without softening.

Being made of resin it is the perfect choice for saltwater sanitation applications. The cost of a resin pool will land between roll wall aluminum and hybrid pools.

Resin pools are a fraction of an in-ground pool cost making resin a really good deal for most families.

Resin is versatile because manufacturers can produce accenting curves making for true radius top rails and with all the components being made of resin color can be added to the injection process.

4.Steel Pools

Steel pools have been around since the beginning of above-ground pools. They have been improved upon greatly over the years. When people think of steel pools they are immediately taken back in time when we had fake wooden walls and the overall look was missing a little class.

Today’s steel above-ground pools are a huge improvement and you ask any installer and they will tell you they prefer to install steel pools.

Most steel pools have top caps made of resin allowing some accents to shine through. There are lower quality steel pools and some that are built for the long haul.

Price is a good determining factor when choosing a quality steel pool. Generally speaking the larger the frame the stronger the pool.

There are other factors such as ribbed uprights and thicker steel components.

Price-wise they are the most cost-effective pool in the world and easy to install

5. Hybrid above-ground pool

This pool is a combination of resin and steel. It has most of the characteristics of a resin pool and the strength of a steel pool.

This pool offers a true radius top ledges and contoured resin components that allow for a more modern appearance.

A hybrid pool is priced between steel and resin and has some good advantages.

A true hybrid pool has steel uprights attaching to coping made of steel and the rest of the components are made of resin.

These steel coping rails can be switched on some pool models mission supernovae and Ravel so it can support saltwater applications.

Some other determining factors to help you when trying to select the right pool check out this common pool size and excavation chart and notice how the excavation sizes are bigger than the pool size.

To install an above-ground pool one must consider the excavation size as the well. Proper placement will depend on whether you have room for the installation.

It is helpful to use the excavation sizes when comparing your local rules and regulations.
