Above ground pools are probably the most popular form of swimming pool today. As the name tells you an above ground swimming pool is a pool that sits on top of the ground rather than being buried.

Above ground pools provide a number of benefits over their in ground equivalents. One of the key benefits is, of course, safety. It is much more difficult for a child or a pet to fall into an above ground pool as they will often have to climb steps to gain access.

Another key advantage is ease of installation. The simplicity of above ground swimming pools makes them easier to install, requiring far less preparation before being built. In fact many can be built by competent DIY enthusiasts and there are some excellent swimming pool kits that make owning your own pool very affordable.

There are an exciting selection of above ground pool designs to choose from. These include both wooden and metal framed pools and vinyl sided pools. Splasher pools are a great example of easy-to-install, fun backyard swimming pools. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. From compact circular pools with a depth of only 36 inches to much more substantial elliptical pools that will provide fun and exercise for the whole family.

When thinking about which above ground swimming pool to choose it would be worthwhile to give some thought to the following:

How big is the space for your pool? Remember that people will need to get around the pool so its necessary to leave adequate clearance.

Who will be using the pool? If the pool is to be used by non-swimmers and young children it is a good idea to choose a shallower pool.

When is the pool to be used? Most outdoor swimming pool users in Europe will only use their pool during the peak summer months. But you can extend the usable period with the insulation provided by a pool enclosure.

What additional accessories will you need for your pool? Often overlooked. There are an abundance of pool accessories that you may need like a suitable pool heating system, a good pool cover to keep out debris, cleaners, filters and water treatment chemicals.

Armed with this information I would suggest that you then contact at least two reputable swimming pool supply companies with the details of your requirements. They should be able to suggest several models of above ground swimming pools that fulfil your requirements.

Many people are finding that there has never been a better time to invest in an above ground pool for their back garden. Competition between pool supply companies is fierce and many people are not currently spending on luxury items like swimming pools. Now could be the time to find yourself a bargain.
