Why Are Some Above Ground Pools More Expensive Than Others?

Spring brings many feelings of anticipation — warmer temperatures, budding flowers, and swim season to name a few. Maybe you’ve decided to get an above ground pool for your family this year. You will love having your very own oasis of relaxation and refreshment. Perhaps you’ve already started looking for the perfect pool. And now you’ve got a big question. Why are some above ground pools more expensive than others? It’s a great question to ask! 

Bonnie & Clyde’s Pools and Spas is known in the Metroplex as experts in the world of above ground pools. Our company’s founder helped bring this option of an affordable, amazing pool to Texas over 40 years ago. Our knowledgeable team can help you figure out the answer to this price-point question as you finalize your pool choice. Here are a few factors that affect the total cost of installing an above ground pool.

Begin with the Brand

The brand is the first thing that will cause a difference in price. Above ground pools come in kits that make self-assembly fairly simple, but all the kits are not created equal. At Bonnie & Clyde’s Pools and Spas, we have above ground beauties from Backyard Leisure® pools and Sharkline® pools for the above ground pool enthusiasts in Decatur, North Richland Hills, and all of the surrounding areas. 

We carry these affordable pools because we believe in their quality. They are made to be safely enjoyed for the long haul. Our experienced employees can help you find the pool brand that is just right for your budget and your backyard.

Mull Over the Materials

Another thing that affects a pool’s price is its material makeup. As you’re researching above ground pools, you’ll notice that not all pools are manufactured with the same materials. For example, Sharkline® pools are made with aluminum, resin, and steel. Their company has been in existence for over 60 years — plenty of time to perfect the makeup of a durable, delightful pool. Backyard Leisure® uses the same materials to produce pools that are incredibly strong, sturdy, and stylish as well.

Study the Shapes and Sizes

Next, the shape and size of an above ground pool alters the price tag also. A kit for an oval-shaped pool is usually a little more expensive than a kit for a round-shaped one. This is simply due to the walls of an oval pool. Its sides are straight and thus require a little more structure to support the walls when the water is added. And the size will obviously also play a part in the total price. More swimming space means a little more spending initially.
