Above Ground Pools

[ChiefsCountry]

Any of you own an above ground pool? What are the pros and cons? Any models that you would recommend? Or any tips on owning one?

No.

Pro: Pool.

Con: White trash pool.

Not necessarily. Depends on the topography of the lot and the expansiveness of the surrounding decking.

I've seen some setups that look pretty damn nice. As nice as an in-ground pool? No. But far from trash.

That's kind of how I feel as well.

I just went through this ... My wife picked out a 33 ft by 54. I wish I knew everything I know now before I started this process.

It looks great ... It's basically a baby lake with the size we went with. It doesn't look white trash at all.

However, like I said it's a crazy process and expect them to trash your yard. I am still in the process of yard recovery.

For those who can afford inground pools more power to you. For the rest of us we will have to settle with "White Trash Pools" I guess.

How is an above ground pool white trash?

[ChiefsCountry]

Not worried about the white trash look because a) Got a friend who is a hell of builder to add on my deck b) another friend is a professional landscaper.

This. If you put decking all the way around it, doesn't look too shabby. Slap one of them bitches in the middle of your yard and use a ladder to get in? Trashy as shit.

That will go a long way then. Once I get my yard back things will be a lot better. What company are you looking to go with?

I feel like above ground is the way to go, a lot cheaper and if you wanted to get rid of it just remove it and throw down some grass.

Have no clue really. Just starting my research on them now. For all the shitty advice on here, you do some real advice as well.
