By adding some tropical plants and tiki lights to your backyard, you’ve got a great start in turning this spot into a personal oasis. But what about taking another big step toward turning your yard into the family hangout spot? If you want to enjoy relaxing outdoors at home, an above-ground pool may be the right addition for you. Here, The Pool Guys of Troy, MO, share some benefits of these wonderful swimming options.

The Perks of an Above-Ground Pool

1. They’re Potentially Safer

Are you concerned your pets or kids may fall in the pool? Above-ground models are taller than young kids and most pets, making it difficult for them to fall in unexpectedly. Many homeowners with little dogs and toddlers opt for above ground pools because of the added safety of the pool wall height.

2. They’re Less Expensive

Instead of requiring a bulldozer for installation, an above-ground pool is best surrounded by a deck or left to stand alone in the yard, depending on your aesthetic preferences. You’ll also save money on heating the pool as it’s easier to warm water that is above the ground than below.

3. Maintenance is Easier

Since the filters and any other moving parts you may need to reach while doing pool maintenance are all above ground, it’s easier to service above-ground pools. You can locate problems like a faulty filter without having to dive in. Some fixes are DIY but don’t hesitate to call a pool repair service if the skills required are above your knowledge level.

4. You Move, They Move

If you install and inground pool, that may prevent you from moving because you love your backyard swimming sessions. Above-ground pools can move with you across the country if you want. They only require draining, cleaning, and proper packing before you bring along your own personal oasis to your new home. 

Above-ground pools liven up your backyard and your life by uniting your family through swimming and lounging in your own little paradise.
