Soft Wall Pool to Hard Wall Pool comparison:
Above ground pools are less expensive than in ground pools and are just as much fun.
There are above ground swimming pools available in Soft Wall Pools and Hard Wall Pools. The Soft Wall Pools typically have a vinyl wall with a frame to hold the vinyl but there is no supporting wall for the vinyl and the Hard Wall Pools have a solid wall, can be Aluminum, Galvanized Steel or a Coated Steel, with a vinyl liner insert.

Both styles of Above Ground Pools come in round pools or oval pools and in a variety of sizes. 
Both will require the same accessories i.e.PumpFilter and Ladder.  We have complete Equipment Packages that include every thing you need.  Other accessories to consider are automatic pool cleaner, automatic chlorinator, pool heater, deck kit or swimming pool lights  

Here is a comparison of some of the advantages and disadvantages of both the Soft Wall Pools and Hard Wall Pools.

Soft Wall Pools

 

 Hard Wall Pools

 Easy to set up! Minimal tools required!

You will need screw drivers, hammers, mallets, shovels, trenching tools, levels and many more tools.

Two people can usually set up a  Soft Wall Pool in a  day or as little as 30 minutes.

Steel-walled pools typically take 16 to 20 hours of site preparation and set up.

Soft Wall Pools do not require sand to support the pool's walls.

Steel-walled pools require 600 to 2000 lbs of sand to support their walls.

Soft Wall Pools are easy to take down and store in the off season. Simply drain and allow drying time then fold and store.

Forget about storage because taking a steel walled pool down is harder than putting one up. All winter long you'll have to worry about ice, rust and sharp edges as the steel weathers.


Soft Wall Pools require much less preparation and can be placed on any surface, grass, dirt, concrete, even sand or gravel with minimal preparation and  will normally handle up to 3 inches out of level.
