An above ground pool can be a good choice when spending as little money as possible is your main priority but if you are interested in the type of swimming pool installation that will provide you with a spacious area in which to swim and that will last for many years, inground pools are invariably the best option. For a summary of the main benefits they have to offer, take a look at the points below.
The Pros Associated with Inground Pools
There are several big reasons that the people we and other pool companies deal with in Toronto usually choose to have an inground rather than an above ground pool installed.
- Durability – When it comes to longevity, there is no doubt that inground pools have the upper hand. The money that you save by buying an above ground model will invariably be eaten up over time as you keep having to buy replacement parts and pay for them to be fitted.
- Convenience – If you decide to buy an above ground pool, you will almost certainly have to install it yourself as very few pool builders are interested in taking on such work. Whilst it is not a huge task for competent DIY enthusiasts, it could present you with a few problems if you don’t usually fix things around the home and do not own a full set of good quality tools. On the other hand, when you choose an inground type you can sit back and take it easy whilst the company that you are paying to build your new pool gets on with doing just that.
- Size – Above ground pools are much cheaper than inground ones but they are also considerably smaller. Even the largest models can look like oversized paddling pools or Jacuzzis when installed in the average back yard. If you would like to use your new pool for a decent exercise session every morning and would also like to be able to throw pool parties in the summer, to give all your friends the chance to enjoy your pool, an above ground model is not going to be anywhere near big enough for your needs. It may cost considerably more but an inground swimming pool will be far more suitable.
- Adding Value to Your Home – One of the biggest differences between above ground and inground pools is the fact that inground ones cost a lot more, as we have already mentioned. However, the flip side of this is that they can add thousands of dollars to the value of your home. You may not recoup your entire investment but you could get a large portion of it back if you decide to sell up and move at some point in the future.
