Are Above Ground- Semi Ingroud Pool Worth The $$$

[mccahan]

I've been shopping for a pool for nearly a month. I just don't feel that I am comparing apples to apples between every pool company. I've looked at round 24 and 27 above ground pools ranging in price from $5000-$9000. Each company has a basic in the $5,000 range (installed) to get you in the door, then often have an upgraded pool that ranges from 7-10K.

Then I found a Wilkes Pool that can be either above ground or semi- built into the ground. My yard has a slight slope, so the semi-built in is appealing. Is the Wilkes Pool worth the investment and what is a fair price for a 16x32 pool, with a deep end of 6 ft.? Their pool also comes with a 6ft deck, 2 ft walkway and a fence, where as the other companies that only offer a round pool will require me to build a deck. Any advice is appreciated.

Have you ever considered an inflatable above ground option?

yes, We used one for the past two years. If anyone wants to buy it let me know --I'm located in Central PA. Should be starting the install of our Wilkes Pool this week.
