Understanding Your Pool Installation Choices
When considering a new swimming pool installation, homeowners often face the crucial decision between semi-above ground and above-ground pools. At Pool Mart, we specialize in both options, each offering unique benefits for different lifestyle needs and backyard configurations.
Semi-Above Ground Pools: The Best of Both Worlds
Semi-above ground pools provide an elegant compromise between traditional in-ground and above-ground installations. These pools are partially set into the ground, typically with one end elevated to match the natural slope of your yard. Key advantages include:
• Enhanced aesthetic appeal
• Better integration with existing landscaping
• Easier entry and exit points
• Reduced overall visibility from neighboring properties
• Options for surrounding deck installation
Above-Ground Pools: Practical and Versatile
Above-ground pools remain a popular choice for many homeowners, offering several compelling benefits:
• More affordable installation costs
• Faster setup time
• Flexibility to relocate if needed
• Minimal ground disruption
• Easier winterization process
Installation Considerations
Before proceeding with any pool installation, consider these essential factors:
1. Site Preparation
– Level ground requirements
– Proper drainage assessment
– Utility line verification
– Local building codes and permits
2. Material Selection
– Pool wall construction options
– Liner durability choices
– Decking materials
– Safety features
3. Maintenance Requirements
– Filter system accessibility
– Cleaning equipment needs
– Winter storage considerations
