Q: Which above ground pool is best for my yard?
A: That all depends on the size of your yard. Oval pools are great when one of your yard's dimensions is considerably longer than the other. In that case, an oval shape above ground swimming pool will fit into the area available. If you have ample room in your backyard the shape you choose will depend on what you find most pleasing to look at.
Q: Will I be able to install an above ground pool on my own?
A: If you can are good at following instructions you should have no problem installing an above ground pool. Even so, it should be noted that you'll probably need at least two sets of hands for some of the more awkward steps involved. So find yourself a helper before you get started to make things easier. Don't cut corners! Be sure to follow the instructions closely to construct your swimming pool to last.
Q: What type of above ground swimming pool is stronger a round or oval?
A: It used to be that round above ground pools were stronger, but with today's materials there really is no great difference in overall strength between the two styles.
Q: Which pool type has more swimming area round or oval?
A: A ROUND shaped swimming pool has more swimming area than an oval shaped pool of the same length. For example: a 24' round has more area than a 12' x 24' oval and usually costs LESS!
Q: Which wall type is more likely to rust out? Steel or Aluminum?
A: Both wall types are susceptible to rust. A pool walls ability to resist rust is determined by it's level of corrosion resistance. When aluminum rusts it is called oxidation.
Q: What type of liner will my pool have?
A: That will depend on the liner options available with your above ground swimming pool. For more information on the types of pool liners available see our article on vinyl swimming pool liners.
Q: What features determine the quality/durability of my above ground pool?
A: The features determining the strength and quality of your above ground swimming pool are the strength of the top rails, uprights, and pool wall, as well as the quality and thickness of the vinyl pool liner.
Q: Is it possible to bury an above ground pool in the ground?
A: Burying an above ground swimming pool could result in the voiding of your warranty. There are however specially designed above ground swimming pools made just for this purpose. An example of such a swimming pool would be the King George Model from Poseidon.
Q: Can I stand on the top rails?
A: NO. Besides the damage this will do to the above ground swimming pool's structure, standing/walking on a slippery top rail is a recipe for disaster.
