Above Ground Pools - Why Their Incredible Rise In Popularity?

You may not have even been around back in the late fifties to early sixties

, Back when above ground pools first began appearing in peoples back yards but back then they were far more scarce then they are today. Ironically they were far cheaper too, so why is it that they have become so popular today and are even now found in the backyards of very upscale homes.

The Skyrocketing Cost Of Standard Built In Pools

The fact is that there are several reasons for this, including the skyrocketing cost of the standard built in cement swimming pool. Costs that can easily run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. For instance, todays ultra modern above ground pools really have very little resemble to those first pools of decades past.

Amazing Faux Tile & Stone Vinyl Pool Liners

You see, now easy to install optional features such like prefabricated natural wood pool decks that are installed using only simple hand tools are just one. Then there is the incredibly wide assortment of new amazing, decorative pool liners that can give your pool the actual look and feel of real tile or stone for instance.

Is It a Built In - Or One Of Those New Above Ground Pools?

These two options alone can completely transform the total look of todays above ground pools to such a degree that they often leave people who see them wondering if they are in fact built in. Hey! The deck completely conceals the top edge and sides and the tile or stone is almost impossible to distinguish from the real thing, so it's easy to understand.

Do the Math - The Prices Adjusted For Inflation Haven't Changed

Lastly, if you take the price of the the very first original above ground pools that people were buying decades ago and factor those prices against inflation, you will find that in real spending terms, todays new and improved, full featured new age above ground pools cost just as much, if not less than those first swimming pools of yesteryear.
