Adding an above ground pool to your backyard is a great way to keep your family cool all summer long. Find the one that’s right for you.
Just like the name suggests, fast-set pools are quick and easy to assemble or take down. Ready in just 10 minutes, simply find solid and level ground, lay the pool out and inflate the top ring to start filling it with water. The pool will take its shape as it fills. These round pools are perfect for anyone short on outdoor space or looking for a low-maintenance option.

Steel-frame pools are a high-quality, affordable option for families wanting to make a long-term investment. These pools are offered in a variety of sizes and shapes. Featuring a rust-resistant steel frame and reinforced liner, these pools are durable enough to last several years. They require more set-up time and at least 2 people to assemble them. You can keep these pools set up all summer and easily drain, disassemble and store them or the off-season.
When choosing the size, make sure you have a level area with a solid surface, so the weight of the pool is evenly distributed. Ensure that there is enough clearance around the pool for people to pass by and to give you easy access to your pump. Also consider how many people will be using the pool.
If there will be kids using the pool, consider their height. Fast-set pools have sides that go up to about 48 inches, while steel frame pools can be up to 52 inches tall.
Make sure the space you've chosen is completely level. Even a slight angle to the ground can cause unnecessary stress on the pool frame, which leads to damage. You should also ensure the ground is solid so the pool weight can be evenly distributed. Consider clearance space around the pool for access to your pump and room for people to move safely. Finally, the pool should be set up at least 6-ft away from the house or any electrical outlet.
Some above ground pools come with an accessory and/or maintenance pack, including a ladder, cover, pool skimmer, ground sheet or repair kit. All above ground pools come with a pump that has a rating for how many gallons it can filter per hour. Pool chemicals are essential accessories to ensure that your water is clean and safe. You can buy chemicals and any additional items you need separately.
Pools that need to be drained and taken down for the cold season require a secure storage space away from the elements and nesting creatures. Ideal storage temperature is above 5°C (41°F). Fast-set pools require the least amount of space, while steel frame pools will generally take up more room.
