Above ground pool design offers the most affordable options for backyard swimming pools. Economically priced in a wide array of shapes and sizes, above ground pools dominate the home swimming pool market in popularity.

Above ground swimming pools are chosen for a few main reasons:

Range of affordable prices (generally starting around $1500)
Fast installation
Wide availability

The downside to installing an above ground pool is primarily limited options in above ground pool design flexibility, however, limited design flexibility is easily overshadowed by the cost savings of above ground pool installation.

To increase standard above ground pool design choices, the swimming pool industry has made great strides in recent years to offer more above ground pool designs. A variety of shapes - from the traditional round to larger oval designs - coupled with greater size flexibility, bring above ground pool designs more inline with inground pools..

When size and shape choices are carefully considered and paired with above ground pool deck design, the result is quite close to inground swimming pool structures, for a much smaller price tag.

An above ground pool can be installed without a deck, but at some point most above ground pool owners opt to design a deck for an above ground pool. Above ground pool decks gain an area for relaxation, entertainment, easier pool access and safer pool supervision.. Installing a deck at the time of pool installation is optimal, but even if the investment is put off until a later time it is a good idea to think about above ground pool design with decks at the time of pool purchase and installation. Having at least a general idea for the design a above ground pool deck might take will make site planning and preparation easier. When owners preliminarily design a deck for above ground pool installations, money can be saved later (when the deck is built) by having the deck site prepared without greatly increasing the cost of the pool‘s installation.

For every above ground swimming pool and deck design, there are many ways to comfortably incorporate the above ground swimming pool into any home owner’s yard. Placement, landscaping, and coordinating features such as accessories, furniture, and proximity to other yard activities work together to make above ground swimming pool designs mesh and flow with both the look of the yard as well as its functionality..

Above ground swimming pool design choices make owning a backyard swimming pool an option within the reach of every home owner, putting the fun, relaxation, exercise, and entertainment benefits of owning a pool in the hands of every family.
