However, the time of installation may vary depending on several factors such as the style of pool you choose, the condition of the backyard, preferred landscaping, etc.

Above-Ground Pools are Portable

Mobility is one of the biggest factors that allure people to invest in above ground pools.  So, if you plan to relocate or sell your home in the future, having an above-ground swimming pool is the ideal option.

In-ground pools are semi-permanent in nature and expensive to uninstall. It is nearly impossible to carry your pool with you. On the contrary, an above-ground pool can be easily dismantled into pieces and then reassembled once you reach your new home. This is because it does not necessarily require concrete construction and is portable in nature. Thus, wherever you go, your pool can go with you if it isn’t surrounded by expensive stone walls or elaborate decking.   

Optimal Space Allocation

If you have a space constraint, you are in good luck with above ground swimming pools. They are a great option when there is limited space, and ensure flexibility to the homeowners. The pools come in oval and round shapes and are smaller in size as compared to in-ground varieties. Therefore, they can easily fit into most backyards.

Ease of Maintenance             

Another major benefit of using above ground pool is ease of maintenance. They are smaller in size and have only one depth, making them easier to clean using a vacuum. Their simple filtration system is another factor that aids in quick and efficient cleaning. Unlike in-ground swimming pools, they require lesser chemicals too. This means you do not need to spend half of the day adjusting the water quality, and later cleaning it when you could be enjoying splashing around in the pool!

All components of an above ground pool are easily accessible. So if there is ever any fault, the parts are right there for easy repair and inspection. Owing to the size of above-ground pools, you would need to heat only a smaller area, thus helping you cut down on your energy costs.  

More Safety

Installing any kind of swimming pool requires maintaining certain safety standards, such as 48-inch fencing to minimize the risk of potential accidents. If the safety of your kids and pets is a major concern for you, consider installing an above-ground swimming pools as they may be inherently safer. By default, most above ground pools have a high entry point of 52 to 54-inches, which reduces the chance of accidental falls.
