Permanent above-ground swimming pools
The summer season is approaching fast and with it comes a focus on swimming pools in all their shapes, colours and designs. Permanent above-ground swimming pools are an option that is gaining popularity as they allow a pool to be installed in places where an in-ground swimming pool is simply not viable.
What are permanent above-ground swimming pools?
Permanent above-ground swimming pools are a type of pool that is built above-ground rather than in the ground. In the same way as a classic in-ground swimming pool, permanent above-ground swimming pools can be custom designed to suit the specific needs and preferences of the owners.
Advantages and disadvantages of permanent above-ground swimming pools
More and more people are choosing permanent above-ground swimming pools for their homes. These pools are also increasingly more common in the hotel industry. Nonetheless, as with any kind of swimming pool, there are advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered before deciding which one to choose.
ADVANTAGES
- Extremely versatile: because they are built from scratch, permanent above-ground swimming pools offer greater flexibility in terms of shape and design, meaning they can be almost fully customised.
- Faster construction: the installation of permanent above-ground swimming pools is usually faster when compared with building an in-ground swimming pool, meaning the owner can start enjoying their swimming pool sooner.
- Easy access and maintenance: because they are above-ground, they can be accessed for maintenance or repair far more easily than an in-ground swimming pool.
DISADVANTAGES
- Shallower: permanent above-ground swimming pools are usually shallower than in-ground pools, which can restrict swimming or diving options.
- Access difficulty: due to their height, it can be more difficult to get into these pools, especially for the elderly or people with reduced mobility.
- Possible restrictions in urban areas: in some urban areas, the construction of permanent above-ground swimming pools may be restricted by local regulations.
