Swimming pools make for a great addition to your home, especially when you’re living in a tropical climate. They are also a major
investment and big commitment. If you are considering investing in an in ground pool, make sure to do your research! Although
the thought of enjoying a pool is a fun and exciting prospect, the key to reaching your goal without pitfalls is to be well informed.
A swimming pool will become a permanent and integral part of your home so it is important to get it right.
We will try to answer some of the key questions homeowners have when they consider buying a pool.
Above ground or in ground?
Above ground pools are by far cheaper to buy and install than in ground pools. Most people feel that the biggest downside of an
above ground pool is their aesthetics. They are very difficult to integrate in landscaping and architecture and always seem to
‘stick out’. In hurricane prone areas you should also consider the hazard of having a large structure in your back yard that is not
anchored to the ground.
That said, above ground are less permanent and easier to remove if you decide down the road that a pool is not for you. They also
tend to be a lot cheaper because no major installation costs are involved in the set up.
Fibreglass, concrete or vinyl liner?
Yes, you have options and now the question arises which one is best? The answer is not a straight forward one, but there are a few
key elements that you should compare when looking at the options.
