What Type of Above Ground Pool is Best for Me?

This depends on the size of the space available to you and whether you want a pool that is a temporary feature or a permanent one. An above ground pool is the most popular choice, and we stock a wide range including inflatable, metal framed, wooden pools, steel pools, and paddling pools. We also have a wide range of accessories and equipment to maintain and care for your pool, whether it be a temporary installation or a more permanent one, for example:

Inflatable Pools

A great option for smaller gardens or just for the summer, look at our Inflatable Pools which are quick and easy to assemble (often tool free). Simply place on a flat surface, inflate the top ring and fill! Sizes start from 5ft in diameter and 15in in depth, perfect for families with small children and on a budget.

What we like about Inflatable Pools - Easy to set up and take down, packs away for the winter.

Metal Framed Pools

Our selection of Metal Frame Round Pools and Metal Frame Rectangular Pools are easy to assemble, durable and strong with puncture resistant liners. These pools also dismantle for easy storage during the winter months. Sizes start from 5ft in diameter and 15in in depth. These pools are great for families with older children or adults who want to enjoy a pool with limited space.

What we like about Metal Framed Pools - Sturdier than an inflatable pool but still easy to put up, take down and store away for winter.

Steel Pools

If you are looking for a pool that has a more permanent position in your garden, look at our range of Steel Pools. The two main advantages of steel pools are the price and weight.  These are the heaviest of all of the types that we stock, making it very solid and safe, often with a life span of 20 years.  For our customers buying online we also provide a Steel Pools Buyer’s Guide, Swimming Pool Information, Delivery Information on Steel Pools and our Warranties for Steel Pools. Steel Pools can range from 8ft to over 24ft in size. Steel Pools are for those with bigger gardens and those looking for a more permanent structure, suitable for families with older children and adults alike.

White Coral Steel Pool

What we like about Steel Pools - A permanent option and can be used all year round with a heater, are generally bigger and will withstand the weather.

Wooden Pools

Providing a solid outer wall to the pool, Wooden Pools are an excellent choice if you are looking to install a permanent pool. Wood framed pools are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and add a touch of luxury to any garden. Sizes start from 11ft in diameter and 35in in depth. A touch of luxury for any garden, perfect for entertaining older children and adults.

What we like about wooden pools - More aesthetically pleasing than a steel pool, also permanent and can be used all year round.

Paddling & Play Pools

If you have smaller children, we also have a fantastic range of colourful paddling pools and play pools. Our fun paddling pools have lots of great features with UV sunshades, water sprayers, inflatable soft floors, slides, inflatable games and much more. Perfect for babies and smaller children.
