There are a number of choices for backyard pools, they come in many different sizes and materials and there is bound to be a pool that will fit almost any budget. Long Island pool companies can install above ground or in ground pools, an above ground pool can be as small as a child’s plastic wading pool. Above ground pools are easier and faster to install and set up than in ground pools which of course, require a hole to be dug to accommodate the liner. An in ground pool has to be installed by professional Long Island pool companies whereas an above ground pool can be set up by the homeowner.
The next step up from a child’s plastic pool is an inflatable above ground pool. Once again, these can be a small enough just for a single person or large enough for a number of people to enjoy at once. These pools are low cost and they are also practical as they can be drained quickly and moved to another spot and there is no need for ladders to enter and exit the pool as they are quite shallow.
Most above ground pools that are installed in the backyard of family homes have a vinyl liner and a frame of some sort, either plastic or metal. These pools are usually about four feet deep and are entered and exited by using a double sided step ladder. In some cases an above ground pool will be surrounded by a wooden deck so it is only necessary to have a ladder to exit the pool. Some above ground pools are taken apart and stored during the winter months, the most expensive above ground pools can stay erected year round. Although circular above ground pools are the most common, they can be had in several other shapes.
Inground pools are usually built using a fiberglass, factory produced liner. The liner is like an oversize bath tub or boat shell. Other materials can be used for inground pools; concrete, gunite and a vinyl liner are all possibilities. The least expensive in ground pool is a vinyl liner which is built on a frame which fits in the excavation. The vinyl liner, unlike other materials, can easily be punctured and it is not as durable.
