Picking out a pool shape and size that is best for your family and your yard is the first step in getting a pool. When picking out a pool size you need to consider who is going to be swimming in the pool and what are they doing. For someone who's primary concern is swimming laps, obviously the longer the pool the better.

For people who are looking for a pool for splashing about and playing games… you want to get a pool with as much surface area as possible. Although people tend to think that oval pools are larger it is important to realize that although a pool may be longer does not mean it has more surface area.

When comparing price and size, round pools offer a more significant swimming area for significantly less price. The average size above ground pools is 24' round and 15' x 30' oval.

Although the oval is 6' longer it is important to realize that it is 9' narrower over the total length. That translates to less water in the same depth pool. In addition, round pools are easier to clean because the shape of the pool keeps the dirt moving towards the center.

In the past few years most pool manufacturers have moved from 48" deep pools to 52". We are able to get 48" pools on special requests.

On-Ground Pools

These are rectangle pools that are available in either constant depth or varying depths. They are built on top of the ground and include a full walk around deck and handrail. There is also a full end patio that has room for a table and chairs. This end deck comes standard on one side, but is available for both ends of the pool

Our On-Ground pools are installed exclusively with our Deluxe Pool Package and installation. They include an under the water light, ladder to access the deck, a ladder to access the pool, and your choice of either a drop in set of stairs or a automatic cleaner.
