The aboveground pool has become a hot commodity during the time of social distancing — if you're lucky enough to find one, here's what you'll need to know about buying one
Photo: abc With most water parks and public pools closed, and the inevitable heat wave on the horizon, you may be trying to find ways to stay cool outside. While we’ve been tracking the growing popularity of kiddie pools and splash pads and stock tank pools, lots of people are looking for a more permanent solution: The aboveground pool, a long-time suburban staple, is suddenly quite in demand.
You’ll also want to survey the landscape of your yard to make sure it is suitable for a pool. You want the ground to be level and clear of large debris like tree stumps or rocks, says Kolio Balkov, a pool installation expert at New Jersey-based NJJ Pool Installations. Soft- vs. hard-sided pools Structured aboveground pools come in two categories: soft-sided and hard-sided. A soft-sided aboveground pool is the less expensive of the two, “but may start to show signs of wear and tear within a single season,” says DiClerico. A hard-sided aboveground pool, typically made from steel or heavy duty PVC, could easily last a decade, he notes, though you may have to eventually replace the liner.
