You might have decided for sure that you want to install a pool; the only question that remains is about the type of pool that you want to install. Above-ground pools are very popular and are always an option. For some homeowners, though, an in-ground pool is a better idea. These are all possible signs that you should choose an in-ground pool instead of an above-ground pool, although you can always consult with a professional pool installer to get targeted advice for your pool installation project.

You Have More Money to Spend

Some people want to install a pool on a budget, and for these individuals, installing an above-ground pool might be the only thing that works for their financial situation. You can typically expect an in-ground pool to be more expensive, so if you don't mind this, then you might want to continue looking into in-ground pools.

You Want to Create a More Attractive Pool Area

Even though an above-ground pool can be great for providing you and your loved ones with a place to cool off and exercise, it probably isn't going to provide the same aesthetic that you can get from an in-ground swimming pool. If you want your swimming pool to look really nice, then you'll probably want to go with an in-ground pool. Just make sure that you think about things like a proper in-ground pool design and beautiful landscaping and hardscaping around the pool area to create the look that you want.

You Want to Have More Options for Pool Design

If you choose an above-ground pool, then you will need to choose from the options that are already available. This limits your options, although you will probably find some nice above-ground swimming pool options if you start checking them out. If you choose an in-ground swimming pool, however, you can typically have it fully customized. This gives you a lot more options, so you can be sure that your swimming pool turns out just like you want it to.

You Want a Deeper Pool

For people who want to have a "deep end" in their swimming pool, an above-ground pool probably isn't going to be an option. However, if you choose an in-ground pool, you can choose to have part or all of the pool made to be deep. This is important if you're interested in diving or if you want to be able to swim fully underwater.
