If you have decided to have an above-ground swimming pool installed, you might find the advice presented below quite useful.
Pick a pool that comes with pool windows integrated into its walls
If your pool will be above the ground, then its walls will be visible. This is one of the elements of this type of pool that some people dislike, as the wide expanse of the pool's opaque wall can make this structure quite visually intrusive, especially if it has been placed in a relatively small garden. If you are hesitating to get an above-ground pool for this reason, then you might want to find out if you can get one that has pool windows integrated into its walls.
Picking a pool that has these large glass panels will mean that when you look at this structure in your garden, you won't just be greeted by the sight of some big blank walls but will instead get to enjoy the view of the beautiful blue pool water sparkling in the sunlight. Furthermore, an above-ground pool whose walls feature multiple transparent pieces of glass will be far less visually intrusive and will not, therefore, look like it is swamping your garden.
On a practical note, the presence of these windows could also make it easier for you to see into the pool and immediately take action if, for example, your pet or family member gets injured, sinks to the bottom of the pool and needs to be rescued.
Invest in a good ladder
You should also invest in a well-made ladder that you can hook on to the pool's edges. You should buy this equipment even if you plan to have a set of steps built that will serve as the entrance to the pool. The reason for this is as follows; one of the extra tasks that you will need to do if you opt for an above-ground pool instead of an underground one is washing the windows and walls.
Depending on the height of the pool and how tall you are, you may need a ladder to reach and scrub the upper parts of these walls and windows. It's especially important to be able to wash the entire exterior if you get a pool with windows, as water marks, dirt and the fingerprints of swimmers who grab hold of the pool barrier will all dull the glass' shine and make it less pretty.
