So you want to buy a pool?
First decide what you would like...
Inflatable Pool
Traditionally this is the very starting point when it comes to swimming pools but these pools are a serious step up from the paddling pool scenario. Made from reliable heavy gauge PVC they are easy to assemble and long lasting and can still provide a first swimming pool 'experience'. It is important to remember these pools are not large paddling pools and are not designed to be empted and refilled when you feel like it – you’ll find that most are supplied with simple filters and electric pumps to clean and circulate the water.
Metal frame and Splasher pool
The next stage up is the metal frame pools which normally comprise a one piece liner which hangs from a tubular frame and is easy to install. They are very much for a seasonal, warm weather use and are unlikely to last beyond 10 years. They still represent good value for money and can come with basic filtration equipment.
Above-ground
Above-ground pools are less permanent than other styles, and most can be drained and moved to another location if necessary. Sizes range from 8 feet to 28 feet, with depths up to 7 feet on some models. Raised decks that partially or completely surround the pool can be added for safety, convenience and aesthetic purposes.
Above-ground pools are the most budget friendly but can produce some spectacular results.
Above-ground/in-ground
You can clearly buy what would be an above-ground pool in terms of its design and structure and have it secured and put in the ground giving it a more permanent look. Add decking, lighting and you have a secure high quality pool.
