Posted on 16 Sep 2013 By Brandon Perry ` Each year, tens of thousands of Americans shop for an above ground pool. These pools can be a great investment for your family’s recreation and are designed to fit any budget. Research is really the key in helping to decide what type of above ground pool to buy. There are many types of materials, shapes and sizes of above ground pools and I will try to cover some of the basics. Most construction materials start with liquid vinyl coated steel walls and quality steel, aluminum or resin frames. The liner is usually at least a 20 mil liner to make sure that it will withstand the rigors of an active family. Basic rule of thumb is that the wider the top rails and the material used for the frame, the more expensive your above ground pool will be relative to its size. In addition you may want to consider an all aluminum construction above ground pool if you are within proximity to sea or salt air as this would provide better corrosion resistance.
