How to Create an In-Ground Doughboy® Pool

If you’ve ever envisioned turning your above ground Doughboy®️ pool into a breathtaking in-ground oasis, you’re in for a treat. Doughboy Pools is thrilled to guide you through the process of creating a backyard haven that will not only meet but exceed your wildest dreams. Whether you prefer the classic deck approach, partial recess, or full in-ground transformation, Doughboy Pools has the perfect solution for you.

1. Decking Magic: Elevating Your Pool Experience

One of the most popular methods for giving your above ground pool an in-ground aesthetic is by building a deck around it. With Doughboy pools, this is a breeze. The deck can be designed to sit slightly above the top rails or snugly tucked underneath them, creating a seamless transition from your deck to the pool. Imagine lounging in style, with the pool deck becoming an extension of your outdoor living space.

Doughboy pools are engineered with durability in mind, ensuring that the structure can withstand the additional weight and create a stable foundation for your decking dreams. Enhance the beauty of your backyard and make a splash with a Doughboy pool surrounded by a custom deck that adds both functionality and elegance.

2. Groundbreaking Recess: In-Ground Vibes with Doughboy Strength

For those who crave a true, complete in-ground experience, Doughboy Pools offers the option to recess your above ground pool — to a degree — according to Doughboy guidelines. Yes, you read that right! Both our steel frame and resin pools are robust enough to handle the transition into the earth, giving you a sleek, in-ground appearance without compromising on strength and stability.

This transformative process not only elevates the aesthetics of your pool but also integrates it seamlessly into your landscape. Imagine stepping into your backyard and being greeted by a sophisticated, sunken oasis that beckons you to take a refreshing plunge.

3. The Hydrosphere Experience: Semi-Inground Perfection

For those who crave the complete in-ground experience, Doughboy Pools’ Hydrosphere semi-inground pool is your answer. With its super-strong steel structure, these pools can be recessed completely in-ground, offering full in-ground features without sacrificing the benefits of an above ground pool.

A Hydrosphere pool not only provides the aesthetics of an in-ground pool but also offers the convenience and versatility of an above-ground option. It’s the best of both worlds, allowing you to create a stunning backyard retreat that reflects your unique style.

Doughboy Recreational is in no way affiliated with any professional pool installer. Therefore, Doughboy Pools can assume no responsibility for errors in installation by the homeowner or said professional installer. If you have the pool installed by others, please supervise to be sure they comply with proper installation techniques as shown.

Transforming your Doughboy pool into an in-ground masterpiece is a fantastic way to elevate your outdoor living experience. Whether you choose the deck approach, partial recess, or the full in-ground transformation with the Hydrosphere, Doughboy Pools ensures that your backyard oasis will not only be visually stunning but also built to stand the test of time.
