Above Ground Pool: The practical alternative to the Inground Pool
26 April 2024
Let's find out why and when to choose it!
Having a pool in one's backyard is a desire shared by many, especially during the summer when beaches can be distant or other circumstances make it difficult to travel to the beach.
Above-ground pools can meet the needs of many people, offering lower costs than in-ground versions. There are several types, including those made of PVC, steel sheet, and with rigid linings made of various materials. Today, these pools are made with durable and solid structures that add a touch of elegance to the home.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Affordable Price: Above-ground pools are generally cheaper than in-ground versions, making them accessible to a wider range of people.
Ease and speed of installation: The name itself suggests that they do not require excavation, as they are placed on top of level ground. This makes the construction process faster and cheaper than in-ground pools.
For example, Laghetto Classic or POP! above-ground pools do not require any concrete foundation and therefore no permit due to their demountable nature and flexible structure.
Portability: Above-ground pools can be disassembled and moved to another property, providing a flexible solution for owners who move.
Adaptability to the terrain: They can be partially in-ground or treaded, on one or more sides, adapting to sloping terrain or terracing, taking advantage of the natural conformation of the ground and giving the illusion of an in-ground pool with the practicality of an above-ground one.
Platform versions, custom-built with different aesthetic finishes, make it possible to create solarium areas next to the pool, integrating aesthetics with functionality. With regard to installations on sloping terrain, the Laghetto Dolcevita pool proves to be a flexible and suitable option, thanks to its self-supporting nature and the possibility of totally customizing the exterior cladding.
Simplified Maintenance: In case of problems or water leaks, maintenance is easier than in-ground pools. Faults are easier to detect and resolution can be done quickly, reducing overall costs.
Safety: Above-ground pools can be equipped with fences or safety systems to protect children and pets.
DISADVANTAGES
Aesthetic impact: They may have a greater visual impact than in-ground pools, especially for lovers of minimalist style.
Limitations of shape and equipment: The shapes of the pools may be limited, and the equipment may not be comparable to in-ground pools, especially in terms of water circulation system and optional extras.
PERMITS AND REGULATIONS
Above-ground pools, being easily removable and nonpermanent, usually do not require specific permits. However, it is important to check local regulations before proceeding with installation.
In conclusion, Above-ground pools are cheaper, easy to install and maintain, safe and accessible for the whole family, and also offer many health benefits. However, before making a decision, it is important to carefully assess your needs and preferences, along with the lay of the land and available budget.
Consulting with experts in the field can help you more consciously evaluate different options and choose the one that best suits your needs and space.
