Perhaps the best benefit of a buried above ground pool is getting the in-ground look you want at a smaller price point. In most cases, above ground pools will cost less than in-ground pools , so it may be possible to save money choosing the former over the latter.
However keep in mind that you may need to invest in a more expensive in-ground pool pump to pull the water up since above ground pumps are designed to sit below the water level. Learn more about the unknown costs when buying a semi in-ground pool. The Doughboy Palm Shore is versatile enough to be installed fully above ground, all the way into the ground, or even as a semi-buried pool. It all depends on the style you want and the layout of your yard.
You may be able to reach your desired depth using expandable pool liners , however. Keep in mind that a wood deck requires some elevation in order to build it. And regardless of whether the pool is in the ground or not, always consider that during future liner changes, the top rails of the pool will have to come off unless the pool has a bead channel.
Instead, run the deck boards under the top rails. Dan writes with the knowledge of having 35 years and counting in the above ground pool industry. I hear of many brands but would like to know what you recommend?? Hercules dealer talks about a snap in liner?
My big concern is install. I am in ohio. This article is very informative. Thank you Margie. It is set up a few feet from our porch long side running with length of porch. The other long side and oval ends will be back filled a few feet about half way up pool to be even with yard on that side. I am wondering if we can back fill essentially bury the side by the porch all the way up with dirt without issues with walls later, or is concrete fill recommended for this project?
With not knowing anything about your earth, my advice is to always do more when backfilling deeper than half-way more than 2.
In your case, I recommend reinforcing your backfill on the high side OR building a retaining wall for that side. Hello, we just had a 30 ft. Pool installed. I will be working on backfill tomorrow when it is more than half full. I found your article very helpful, bu I have one question. How do you feel about a French drain being placed around the pool? Or French drain first then all the backfill? In most cases, a french drain is not at all needed. It depends on what region you live in.
Here in Central Florida for example, there is no application for a semi above ground pool to have a french drain. In the north where the ground freezes, thawes, and re-freezes, the ground can push things around if water is allowed to hanguot in certain areas. Who would know is a pool installer like me but local to you. As far as the depth to set the drain goes, common sense would have me putting it if I decided that I needed one like your first description — 5 inch layer, then the drain, then backfill.
Maybe a little higher depending on where you think the level of moisture may gather. Your email address will not be published. Save my name and email in this browser for the next time I comment.
