If I were able to get a pool I would absolutely look at the above ground pools. I know that I have tons of boulders in my back yard and know that it would take a ton of money to move and get rid of them. And this way after awhile if I don’t want to maintain that pool anymore…I can just completely get rid of it. My parents had an above ground pool for around 20 years and they just got rid of it 2 years ago because they didn’t want to maintain it anymore – now they have a nice backyard their dogs can run around in.
