Pool Types

Doughboy Above Ground Pools fall into one of two categories: steel or resin. These materials apply to the top rails and verticals. While both are equally durable and aesthetically appealing, there are some subtle differences in their compositions.

Steel Frames

Doughboy Steel Frame Pools consist of better-than-industry-standard gauge steel, which is about 50% heavier than the steel used by competing brands. The steel in the pool’s top rails and verticals undergoes a 7-step coating process to ensure optimal strength and corrosion resistance.

Hydrosphere Series Semi-Onground Pools

When you want to recess a pool 24” or more feet into the ground, a model from our Hydrosphere Series is the perfect solution. The walls, floor, and braces of these semi-inground pools are made from quality American-Made steel and feature Poly Shield Protection, giving them inground pool strength that holds up against outside pressure. Furthermore, they are 

• Impact Resistant 
• Chemical Resistant (including salt)
• UV Resistant
• Energy Efficient through thermal conductivity

Our most valuable asset, however, always will be our customers. We work hard to ensure that Doughboy customers can rely on us to consistently deliver: 

• The highest quality products
• Friendly and responsive service 
• A staunch commitment to safety

That’s why you can find happy customers all over the country who have enjoyed their Doughboy Pools for many years – even decades!

Pool Safety is Always the Top Priority at Doughboy!

No one takes the issue of pool safety more seriously than Doughboy Pools. In fact, our comprehensive safety promotion program, which was devised in collaboration with the US Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), has become the standard for the entire above-ground pool industry.

At Doughboy Pools, we promote pool safety by providing…

• pool safety education materials to all of our dealers
• a pool safety packet (containing all signs, liner decals, a “Read me First for Pool Safety” handbook, and Safety DVD) with every pool we sell.
• The 6 Rules of Pool Safety on our website, in print materials, and in videos.

We want you to enjoy your above ground pool and be safe doing it. That way, you’re sure to experience your backyard environment to the fullest for years to come.
