Affordable Pool Options: Enjoy Summer without Breaking the Bank

Adding a swimming pool to your backyard comes with many benefits, from health and wellness advantages to increased property value, socialization opportunities, and reduced anxiety. Finding the right type of pool can be challenging, as there are many options to select from. Choices range from indoor to above-ground, lap, fiberglass, and infinity pools, all with distinct features and advantages that make your warm days even better. Continue reading to learn about the best pool to build if you’re on a budget.

Traditional Above-Ground

Taking advantage of this less expensive feature can still provide the same dream pool experience as a full underground pool. Diving into the pool sooner is possible due to the decreased installation time, which is based on the above-ground style you select and the current state of your backyard. For example, installing an above-ground pool is easier to do if there are no trees to remove or the yard doesn’t need to be graded.

Maintaining above-ground pools is easier based on their size and the type of construction involved. Requiring fewer chemicals is one reason having an above-ground pool is more affordable.

Fiberglass

This pool is also budget-friendly in terms of maintenance and installation. The surface will resist algae growth, which allows you to spend less money on chemicals and other cleaning items. Resurfacing and replacing the liner is something you can also avoid, leaving more money in your budget.

Your family and friends can enjoy this affordable investment for many years to come without costly replacement fees. A fiberglass pool, which is installed as one piece, offers many benefits, including faster installation without compromising affordability. The feature is also stronger, increasing its durability compared to other swimming pools.

In-Deck

Contractors can design your deck differently, avoiding the need to dig up the yard for a swimming pool. This option, often known as an in-deck pool, offers the appearance of an in-ground pool while saving time and money on the feature.

The construction can be customized with different shapes and sizes according to your backyard’s available space. Rectangle, octagon, and emerald shapes are popular, and your pool can be as small as a volleyball court or as large as a public, commercial, or school pool, based on your preferences and budget.

Deluxe Inflatable

If your choices are limited by a very tight budget and time constraints, try out a deluxe inflatable pool this summer. These pools are stylish and come in a wide range of colors, allowing you to select a shade to match your backyard furniture or your personality. 

You can create a resort vibe and beach-like mood in the comfort of your backyard, and you can put up or take down the pool as often as you like. Limited backyard space also makes this a great choice.
