Hard-Sided Pools
Hard-sided above ground swimming pools are made using a rolled sheet metal frame. The metal frame is typically steel, but some pools are made with aluminum. The shape and structure of the metal frame is reinforced with top and bottom rails, and uprights; typically constructed from steel or resin.
Inside of the metal frame is a heavy-duty vinyl liner responsible for holding your pool water. While metal-framed pools are considerably stronger and more durable than soft-sided options, installation can be more involved and time consuming.
Resin & Resin Hybrid Pools
Resin above ground swimming pools are more resistant to rust, oxidation, and corrosion while easily withstanding the damaging effects of water, sunlight, dents, and warping. They are also quicker and easier to assemble and install because the components are all precision made to fit together. Resin pools are a great option for saltwater chlorination because of their corrosion resistance. If you’re interested in a saltwater above ground pool, look for the Salt Water Friendly label on the product page while shopping.
Soft-Sided Pools
Soft-sided above ground swimming pools are constructed from durable and reinforced, heavy-gauge PVC. Tubular framed soft-sided pools include a simple to assemble metal frame. Soft-sided pools are a great above ground pool option that are quick and easy to install.
Above Ground Pool Packages
What’s included in your pool package will all depend on the types of packages offered by the manufacturer and what type of package fits the homeowner’s needs. For instance, all CaliMar standard pool packages include a ladder, vinyl liner, pool pump, sand filter, A-frame ladder, pool frog sanitization system, standard thru-wall skimmer, and maintenance kit.
