Above Ground Vs In Ground Swimming Pools
Really when it really comes down to it, the first big decision that people have to make when deciding on swimming pools, is whether to go with an above ground or an in ground built in. Sound like an easy decision to make? Well even if you can well afford a custom built in, there are still lots of viable reasons to go with either type.
As an example, far too many people approach the decision on a pool like it's bringing home a puppy. Sure it sounds fun at the time but bear in mind that a built in swimming pool lasts for years and years. This means that long after the kids have grown up and moved out you'll still be stuck with pool maintenance.
Also remember that the boom times for property improvements are long gone. The real estate market is flooded with foreclosed homes that have built in pools. What this means is that you just can't expect the money that you put into a pool to reflect back on the value of your home like it used to.
So just like driving a new car off a lot, you're going to take financial hit on a brand new built in pool. On the other hand, with above ground swimming pools costing but a fraction of what what a built in costs, it only stands to reason that the financial, depreciation loss would be substantially less.
Always remember that the reality is that you're only going to be using your pool for about half the year. Oh sure, in the planning stages you might think that you're going for winter swims. However; after a few of those, just like most people you'll probably find that it's much nicer to stay warm and dry on cold winter nights.
