Permanent above-ground swimming pools

The summer season is approaching fast and with it comes a focus on swimming pools in all their shapes, colours and designs. Permanent above-ground swimming pools are an option that is gaining popularity as they allow a pool to be installed in places where an in-ground swimming pool is simply not viable.

What are permanent above-ground swimming pools?

Permanent above-ground swimming pools are a type of pool that is built above-ground rather than in the ground. In the same way as a classic in-ground swimming pool, permanent above-ground swimming pools can be custom designed to suit the specific needs and preferences of the owners.

Advantages and disadvantages of permanent above-ground swimming pools

More and more people are choosing permanent above-ground swimming pools for their homes. These pools are also increasingly more common in the hotel industry. Nonetheless, as with any kind of swimming pool, there are advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered before deciding which one to choose.

Advantages

• Gran versatilidad: al ser construidas desde cero, las piscinas elevadas de obra ofrecen una mayor flexibilidad en términos de diseño y forma, lo que permite una personalización casi al 100%.
• Construcción más rápida: la instalación de las piscinas elevadas de obra suele ser más rápida en comparación con la construcción de una enterrada, lo que permite al propietario disfrutar de su piscina en un plazo de tiempo más corto.
• Fácil acceso y mantenimiento: al estar elevada sobre la superficie, se puede acceder y realizar el mantenimiento o cualquier reparación de manera más sencilla que en una piscina con el vaso enterrado.

DISADVANTAGES

• Menor profundidad: las piscinas elevadas de obra suelen tener menor profundidad que las enterradas, lo que puede limitar la capacidad de nadar o bucear.
• Dificultad de acceso: debido a su altura, puede ser más difícil acceder a ellas, especialmente para personas mayores o con movilidad reducida.
• Posibles restricciones en zonas urbanas: en algunas áreas urbanas, la construcción de piscinas elevadas de obra puede estar restringida por normativas locales.
