Why you should reconsider an aboveground pool!
When it comes to owning a pool, many homeowners envision a luxurious in-ground swimming pool in their backyard. However, an aboveground pool can be just as beneficial, if not more so. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of an aboveground pool and why it may be the right choice for your backyard oasis.
1. Cost Effective
One of the biggest advantages of an aboveground pool is its cost-effectiveness. While in-ground pools can cost tens of thousands of dollars to install, aboveground pools typically cost only a fraction of that price. This makes them a much more affordable option for homeowners who want to enjoy the benefits of a swimming pool without breaking the bank.
2. Ease of Installation
Another advantage of aboveground pools is that they're much easier to install than in-ground pools. In fact, many aboveground pool kits can be installed in just a few days, which means you can be enjoying your new pool in no time. Additionally, because aboveground pools are pre-fabricated, there's no need for heavy equipment or excavation, which can save you time and money.
3. Portability
Another benefit of aboveground pools is that they're portable. This means that if you decide to move, you can easily take your pool with you. This is especially beneficial for homeowners who plan to move in the near future or who live in areas with short swimming seasons.
4. Safety
Aboveground pools are also safer for children and pets. Because they're elevated off the ground, it's much harder for small children and animals to accidentally fall in. Additionally, many aboveground pools come with safety features such as locking gates and ladders that can prevent unauthorized access.
5. Maintenence
Compared to in-ground pools, aboveground pools are also much easier to maintain. Because they're smaller, they require less water, chemicals, and electricity to keep clean and running properly. Additionally, because they're above ground, there's less risk of debris falling into the pool, which means you'll spend less time cleaning it.
6. Customizable
Finally, aboveground pools are more customizable than in-ground pools. Because they're not permanent fixtures, you can easily add features such as decking, landscaping, and lighting to make your pool area more attractive and functional. Additionally, because aboveground pools come in a variety of sizes and shapes, you can choose the perfect pool to fit your backyard space.
In conclusion, while in-ground pools may seem like the more luxurious option, aboveground pools offer a variety of benefits that make them an excellent choice for homeowners who want to enjoy the benefits of a swimming pool without the high cost and maintenance of an in-ground pool. With their affordability, ease of installation, portability, safety features, low maintenance requirements, and customization options, aboveground pools are a smart investment for any homeowner looking to create a backyard oasis.
Facts: Why Choose Fiberglass for Your Future Pool
As you begin to explore options for your future inground swimming pool, there are three common types of installations: Concrete/Gunite, Vinyl Liner, and Fiberglass. All three have different pros and cons that might make one better for your specific needs, however in nearly all cases you'll find that the unique aspects of fiberglass make it the most versatile, longest lasting, and highest quality pool available.
Maintenance
Fiberglass pools are by far the easiest pools to maintain. Why? The top surface of a fiberglass pool, the gelcoat, is virtually non-porous which means that it's very difficult for dirt, algae, and other contaminants to take hold in the pool surface. In comparison, concrete pool is full of nooks and crannies for algae to grab onto. Weekly brushing is required to prevent algae buildup and to keep the plaster or pebble surface free of calcium that collects on the tile line.
In addition, chemical usage in concrete pools is much higher because of the need to penetrate the pool surface to kill algae. Concrete pools require daily doses of muriatic acid to lower the pH of the water. This is because concrete is alkaline based and constantly increases the pH of pool water. Fiberglass pools, on the other hand, are inert and do not effect water chemistry in any way. Fiberglass pool owners typically spend 75% less money maintaining their pools.
Installation
Fiberglass pool shells come delivered in a single piece, and are installed by a crane. A typical installation time is 2-3 days including excavation and plumbing. Compare that to 2-3 weeks for a liner pool, and several months for a concrete pool. Fiberglass gets you swimming sooner!
Durability and Longevity
Fiberglass pools don't use a vinyl liner, so there are no costly liner replacements over the life of the pool. The surface of a San Juan Fiberglass Pool uses 100% hand laid fiberglass sheets. Using a sturdy combination of hand-laid fiberglass sheets, Woven Roving and Vinyl Esther Resin – they produce the strongest fiberglass pool shell on the market! Vinyl liners can be $4k-$6k to replace, and tears and punctures can happen from dogs getting in the pool, tree branches, patio furniture blown into the pool, etc.
Cost to Own
Check out this graphic which outlines average costs of ownership of various types of pools over a 10-year period:
Fiberglass swimming pools are great for those who:
- Have a budget of $35k and up
- Can find a fiberglass swimming pool design that meets their needs
- Want low maintenance
- Want a pool that doesn't cost a fortune in the long run
- Want a quick and relatively pain-free installation

American made aboveground pools: Radiant Metric Round
You may feel that now is not the time to be thinking about pools in Upstate NY with the cold temperatures, but now is the perfect time to start doing your research. In this entry of our “American-Made Above Ground Pools” blog entry we will be giving you information about Radiant Above Ground Metric Round Pools.
In our March 2014 blog entry, “Choosing Your Pool: Radiant Pool Edition” we introduced you to all the unique qualities of the Radiant In-Ground Pool and why it is a perfect fit for this area. These same qualities are true for the Above Ground Metric Series, such as:
BUILT TO LAST
What sets this pool apart from the rest is in its design. Radiant Pools use the same technology used in the construction of aircraft, which makes the pool walls stronger than steel, polymer and even concrete. You never have to worry about the sustainability of your Radiant Pool because the walls will never rust, warp or crack.
CUSTIOMIZABLE
The Metric Round Above Ground Radiant Pools come with 7 dimension choices, starting at 16’ and going up to 33’. With the superior wall construction of the Radiant Pool it can be installed aboveground, semi-inground, on a slope or into a hill. The Radiant Metric Series Pool fits any backyard and any budget.
You can also add on accessories:
FENCE AND GATE KIT: Add an extra layer of security to your pool with the fence and gate kit. The kit comes with a custom fence mounting clip with an easy slide-and-bolt assembly that creates a clean, finished look. Nothing hangs over the top, no brackets bolted to the side of the pool. The kit includes fence sections, custom fence mounting clips, gate, and all hardware.
RADIANT INSIDE STEP: In the past, when you thought of above ground pools, you would picture a ladder as your only means of entry into the pool. Radiant Pools offers an inside step that allows you to walk into the pool, just like in their in-ground pools. Making it more accessible for all members of your family and friend
CUSTOM WINTER COVER: Winters can be very harsh and damaging on above ground pools, but with a winter cover designed exclusively to fit into the coping of Radiant Metric Pools you can be put at ease that your pool will weather the winter. The coping, made of PVC, covers the edge of the pool wall and has an inside track to hold the pool liner in place and an outer track to hold the Metric Custom Winter Cover in place.
Available for both standard 2” and premium 4” coping, the custom fit provides perfect coverage for winterizing your Metric Pool. The custom cover is made with ArmorKote™ technology with a triple laminated no-rip polyethylene weave. The perimeter has a triple edge reinforced binding and it is lightweight for easy installation, removal and storage.
SWIM LONGER
The built-to-last insulated wall panels help your pool water heat up faster and keep it warmer longer. This means you can start your swimming season earlier and swim later. The average Radiant Pool extends your swim season by 2 months! With the superior heat retention properties of a Radiant Pool, you can swim during the entire swimming season without the need of a heater saving $1000’s on heating costs.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
A Radiant Pool is an investment that you can feel good about because it helps to lessen your footprint. The materials used to construct Radiant Pools are ozone friendly and 100% recyclable. They are the only energy efficient, an Energy Star™ Partner since 2006, and environmentally smart pools on the market.
WARANTY
The Metric Series warranty includes protection from winter damage! Snow and ice buildup can destroy a traditional aboveground pool. The incredibly strong Radiant pool wall minimizes this potential harm.
Radiant Pools are 100% made in the USA and come with a 100% lifetime warranty that can be transferred to new owners if you should ever sell your home. Also, if your purchase is financed through a home equity loan, your interest is considered tax deductible.
