A traditional inground pool can be costly. Semi inground pool prices are generally more reasonable. At first you may hesitate in purchasing and installing a semi inground pool, but it has a lot of the same benefits as a traditional pool. It will cost you more than an above ground pool, but will look much better, and even add value to your home.
The pool will still need to be installed, and will be a more permanent pool solution. The installation however, requires less excavating than a traditional pool, and will cost you less. Most can be installed on a slope or a flat surface. Check the manufacturer’s directions for a minimum depth, but you should also be able to install the pool at different depths.
Another factor that decreases the cost of the pool is that its construction is more standardized. You will be able to choose from a variety of pools in different shapes and sizes, but you won’t have the endless options that pouring a concrete pool would provide. Many of these pools are constructed from aluminum, an affordable material that contributes to the price of the pool. The depth of this type of pool is generally 52 inches — plenty deep enough for an enjoyable pool experience. Unless you are looking for a pool to dive into, that depth should be ample.
You can save yourself thousands of dollars with semi inground swimming pools. They can range in price from $5,000 to $8,000. In addition to the pool itself, you’ll have to pay for excavation and landscaping. This cost can vary greatly, but you can pay less than $10,000 total! For a permanent pool solution, that is a great price. That is still a big chunk of change, though, so you want to make sure you are getting a quality product. It’s a good idea to only purchase a pool with a lifetime warranty.
