Having a swimming pool at home is a great idea. It adds to fun and entertainment. It also offers you the
opportunity to engage in one of the well rated physical exercises, conveniently in your own home,
whenever you want and for any number of hours.

<strong>Considerations</strong>

Which pool is better â the [http://www.levcopools.com/ In-ground Pool] or the Above Ground Pool? Your usual considerations are the
cost, swimming considerations in terms of depth, width etc, and flexibility for add-ons, durability,
appearance or aesthetics, choices available, repair and maintenance cost, safety and finally resale value
and disposability.

<strong>Cost</strong>

[http://www.levcopools.com/inground-pool-builder-hillsborough-nj-pool-installation In-ground Pools] cost ten times more than the above Ground Pools. Installing an aboveground pool can
cost between $1500 and $5,000 while for an in-ground pool, it is estimated to be $16,000 for a vinyl-lined
model, $15,000-$25,000 for a fiberglass shell and $17,000-$45,000 for concrete. However, custom
designs can run prices much higher.

<strong>Swimming Considerations</strong>

Aboveground pools normally have a deep end of about four feet and as such do not offer the depth that
in-ground pools can. In addition, your freedom to have add-ons such as diving boards, slides, and fancy
lights is severely curtailed. In-ground pools offer a depth of about six feet, giving you more leeway for
comfortable swimming. Add-ons like diving boards, slides, fancy lights etc are feasible as there are no
constraints of space.

<strong>Durability and Aesthetics</strong>

As far as durability and appearance goes, the aboveground pools score lower. These pools often are not as
good on the eyes, as they tend to jet out and look as protrusions not in harmony with the rest of the layout.
In-ground Pools get a higher score on aesthetics. You have a lot many more options in respect of the
shape of your pool, the materials used, the type of finish etc. The design need not be an eye-sore and can
merge with the layout in harmony with the ambience, lending support to the style you want to project.
The durability of in-ground pools is vouchsafed with the fact that in-ground pools have been found to last
for decades, less impacted by weather and normal wear and tear.

<strong>Variety & Options</strong>

These types of pools come in various colors, patterns, structures, shapes and styles, besides the type of
material surrounding the pool.

<strong>Maintenance & Repairs</strong>

The Above Ground Pools are easier to maintain and less expensive to repair. Maintaining in-ground Pools
is expensive. They require more in terms of efforts, equipments, testing kits, chemicals etc. Continuous
monitoring of the site is required for clearing the debris both within and outside the pool.

<strong>Safety</strong>

It is easier to prevent any unauthorized use of an aboveground pool; all you have to do is to remove the
pool ladder. For safety, in the case of an in-ground pool, though you can think of putting a fence around
cordoning the pool off, it is not as simple as removing the pool ladder.

<strong>Removal & Disposability</strong>

An aboveground pool can be removed easily when not required. An in-ground pool can not be easily
removed. While the presence of an in-ground pool could be a negative factor while selling if the potential
buyer does not want it, it could well be a plus point when he wants one.
