Ultimately, it depends on your location. Really warm areas that experience high temperatures for most of the year have in-ground pools dotted across the landscape. But colder places tend to find above ground pools suit their needs more. We live in Maryland–so this temperature divide is not entirely helpful. Just last week we were experiencing rainy days and highs in the mid-50s. And now, here we are, as though the height of summer is upon us. Read on to figure out what kind of pool you should purchase.
In-Ground Pools
These tend to look a little better overall, and add value to your home when done right. Your landscape will benefit with a water feature, and there’s a lot of freedom in terms of design, shape and customizability. It will also be sturdy–an in-ground pool is frequently made of strong materials like concrete and galvanized steel. Even though Maryland tends to get a bit chilly during the winter, your pool won’t necessarily suffer.
But it’s no secret that in-ground pools are definitely the bigger investment. You can’t just let an in-ground pool rest during the cooler seasons. Maintenance, balancing and care take quite a bit of effort. You’re not making an effortless choice when you pick an in-ground pool, so take your finances and schedule into account.
Above Ground Pools
These pools can be installed within the week if you want them to be, which gives them an advantage, especially now that it’s already pool weather. They’re quick and relatively easy. A lot of them come with options that include decking or railings, so your pool will blend into your landscaping more. Above ground pools are also the cheaper option. Although they require the same maintenance as an in-ground pool, they don’t have to be permanent (but they can be!). A strong disadvantage is their depth, which isn’t suitable for diving. Size varies, but shapes are pretty much restricted to circles and ovals. If you’re looking for a quick fix for the summer heat, above ground pools might be the right option.
