For most of us, the idea of getting an inground swimming pool, is, sorry to say…a bit out of reach.
And while the alternative had always been the cheap fiberglass above ground pool, there have absolutely been massive advances in the production and design of above ground inflatable pools that you simply might not believe.
A word of warning is needed here. While inflatable pools do not have the mystique of the concrete inset pools, they are equally as dangerous. You MUST pay SPECIAL ATTENTION to young ones when you purchase your new inflatable.
Too often, someone will purchase a new inflatable pool and assume because of the lower price points that there is less of a chance of something that potentially go wrong. WRONG. There are now wonderful covers for inflatable pools and ladders that are easily broken down. Caution will always be your guide once you purchase your inflatable…and knowing that needs to be a top priority.
Gorgeous new designs that feature tear resistant sides and bottoms has allowed the manufacturers to get very bold. The newest designs in the inflatable world all take their cues from the most durable materials on the market. Namely DuPont and others who created the Tyvek house siding materials has been one of the manufacturers that the inflatable pool manufacturers have begun to pattern their materials in mirror of.
It’s quite obvious that a tear in an above ground inflatable pool is a disaster, so the manufacturers put design second and construction first.
Very smart. And the industry is on a roll like never before. Whether because of the economy or because of the advances in design, the makers of the above ground inflatable pool are suddenly very much in the spotlight…right where they like it.
