Inground Pool vs. Above Ground Pool


Swimming pool is one of the most enjoyable recreation facilities found in clubhouses, resorts, houses and other recreational establishments. We can never deny the fact that swimming is the most-loved activity of both children and adults. Pool-lovers would really find time to enjoy the cool splash of pool water especially during the summer season.

There are two types of swimming pool, first is the inground pool and second is the above ground pool. This is an overview of the specifications of the two different swimming pool types:


Inground Pool

inground pool

  • It is the most common type of swimming pool.
  • It is characterized by its rectangular appearance with its surface built below the ground.
  • It is more expensive than above ground pool.
  • You can install pool slides and diving boards on it unlike in above ground pool.
  • It takes a long time to be completely built.
  • It has deeper end for up to 10 feet that allows you to enjoy pool diving and sliding.


Above Ground Pool

above ground pool
  • It is cheaper than the inground pool.
  • It is very convenient to install which only takes one day.
  • It is easier to maintain, clean and accessorize.
  • It requires smaller space in your backyard unlike the inground pool.

  1. We are installing an inground pool in the very near future. Our first decision is to go with a fiberglass pool or a gunite pool? Advice from all you pool owners would be greatly appreciated. If you have had both types, please indicate in your relpy. Thanks!

  2. Swimming is one of my family's favorite thing to do! We are hoping to have a pool in our backyard someday so I have been researching the pros and cons of inground vs. above ground pools. I've also been looking at different swimming pool contractors in Ottawa. Do you have any recommendations about what to look for in a pool contractor? Thanks for this great information.

  3. This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses.
