After a few months of hesitation, I finally decided to put my playful project into action, namely to set up a pool in my outdoor space. Only since the summer season is already fast approaching, a concrete pool would take too long to build. So I wonder:above ground or semi-buried?
Even if I still haven't decided on the model of the swimming pool that I will be installing very soon in my garden, I already know where I'm going to place an order, because I think that word of mouth is a good indicator of confidence:I am going to turn to the site www.homepiscine.com which has been strongly recommended to me by several of my acquaintances. Besides, I'm pretty happy since the site sells the two models that interest me the most, namely the above-ground pools and the semi-buried ones.
Above-ground pools have been the star pools of the summer for several years now. The reasons ? Their main asset is in the first place their price defying all competition . A real bargain for people on a tight budget. But it is also difficult to remain indifferent to their ease, but above all to their speed of installation, which does not require any procedure or formality. In short, a bonus for its users.
In addition, over the years above ground are more and more design, even the inflatables which I previously found a little ugly and unsightly. There are also models with a tubular structure. As their name suggests, their basin is supported by steel frames, an additional guarantee of solidity. Nevertheless, if I decide to buy one, I will rather orient my choice towards rigid above-ground pools. Also modular and removable at will, these models are available in metal, aluminum, wood or synthetic resin.
Concerning me, as I also focus on aesthetics and elegance, I will undoubtedly let myself be tempted by a semi-buried one. Weighing the pros and cons, for me this type of pool is a very good compromise between an in-ground pool and an above-ground pool. What's more, I have enough space in my garden to accommodate one with dimensions well above the average.
And even if earthworks, paving and concreting are still to be expected, the total cost price of a semi-buried swimming pool is still very affordable compared to conventional concrete pools, taking into account all the costs, including the purchase and installation of accessories. Otherwise, when it comes to the material of my above ground pool, my preferences go to wood. Exotic species such as teak would have been ideal because of their beauty and their resistance to sunlight and humidity, but unfortunately, as it's too expensive, I'm going to settle for a pine basin previously treated in an autoclave, for better resistance to time and external aggressions.
Finally, by looking at the different types of swimming pools, I learned that if the semi-buried pool exceeds one hundred square meters, a building permit or a prior declaration of work must be requested during its development. If this is your case, check with your Town Hall.
