What is the easiest above ground pool to install?
Inflatable pools
Inflatable pools are by far one of the easiest to install and take down. With a pump, some can inflate in less than five minutes.

Is an oval or round pool better?
An oval pool, especially with a nice deck, can look much like an inground pool – at a vastly lower price. It gives you more length for swimming laps. Depending on your back yard, it may fit better – though it will take up more ground area than the equivalent round.

What is a decent size pool?
It’s recommended having a depth fewer than six feet to meet most pool needs. For a family of six to eight people, an 18 foot by 36-foot pool is recommended. This should be sufficient to avoid crowding and allow for the playing of games. Rectangle shaped pools look best for this size.
