How Much is An Above-Ground Pool?

If you have been looking to level up your summer fun, putting in an above-ground pool has definitely crossed your mind. As the most affordable pool option, these pools can be a great way to enhance your backyard. 

They can still vary in price, though, so what should you plan for when considering the cost? They range from a few hundred dollars for an inflatable option from a big box store to several thousand dollars for a high-quality option. Doughboy® Pools experts are here to help you plan for exactly what you need.

Different Options Affect the Cost of an Above-Ground Pool.

There are several different material options you will see when you start searching for an above-ground pool. The cheapest option will be an inflatable option from a big box store. You should plan for these style pools to only last a season, maybe two, if you take extra care and caution with it. These will cost you a few hundred dollars, but you are essentially throwing that money away.

The next option will be a slightly higher quality option from a proper pool store. These pools will cost you a few thousand dollars, and you can expect them to last a few years. Most other manufacturers only offer a one-year warranty on these style pools, if any at all, and that is so they don’t lose money.

Your best value for your money is a Doughboy pool option. Our pools are the best quality you will find in above-ground pools, and they are made here in the US. We are so confident in our quality that we offer an unrivaled 5-year Premier Warranty  when you purchase all the key components (Pool, Liner, Pump, Filter, Skimmer) for your pool from Doughboy because we expect them to last even longer. And we have options to fit every budget and need!

Different Installation Options Affect the Cost of an Above-Ground Pool.

Another factor in determining the cost of these pools is how you will install them. For example, many people like to have a deck or something placed around the pool to make it easier to access and to create a fun space to hang out around the pool. 

With Doughboy pools, you can even decide to place your pool inground! This will, of course, require some digging and ground preparation before installation. Both of these things will drive up the cost of your pool. If you choose this option be sure to follow Doughboy’s Below Grade Instructions, available from your local Doughboy Dealer. 

If you are adding extras, you can plan to spend additional dollars to make sure everything is as perfect as you want. This makes purchasing a Doughboy an even better choice since our pools will last longer, making the investment in your surrounding area worth every cent.
