Above-Ground or In-Ground Pool – Which One to Choose?

Deciding on the type of pool is one of the first challenges when planning your own backyard water oasis. Abatec pools offer both above-ground and in-ground solutions, each differing in appearance, installation, and usage. Both types have their advantages, and the choice depends on your needs, space, and expectations.

Abatec above-ground pools are perfect for those who value mobility and easy setup. Key benefits include:

-Easy installation – the pool can be placed almost anywhere without major excavation or complicated ground preparation.

-Child safety – above-ground pools are harder for young children to enter accidentally, especially when equipped with stable ladders.

-Aesthetics and garden integration – wooden Abatec structures can be enhanced with decking or surrounding plants.

For those seeking a balance between elegance and ease of installation, partially in-ground pools are an excellent choice:

-Flexible design – the pool can be sunk halfway into the ground, giving it a more integrated appearance without the full effort of a traditional in-ground pool.

-Moderate excavation – requires less digging than a fully in-ground pool, making installation faster and more budget-friendly.

-Improved accessibility and aesthetics – combines the stability of in-ground pools with the accessibility of above-ground models.

In-ground pools require more preparation but provide a unique visual effect and comfort:

-Permanent installation – the pool becomes an integral part of the garden, enhancing overall aesthetics.

-Protection from external factors – proper installation protects against rain, tree roots, and ground moisture. Wooden structures should be treated with natural wood oil, and a protective foil with drainage should be used.

-Filtration and pump proximity – placing filtration systems near the skimmer (max. 2 m away) with proper ventilation ensures convenient maintenance and operation.

Regardless of pool type, child safety is a priority. Constant adult supervision, protective barriers (ladders, covers), and maintaining clean water according to Abatec guidelines are essential. Wooden structures require regular care – oiling, cleaning, and weather protection prolong their lifespan.

Above-ground pool – perfect for families looking for flexibility, easy installation, and child safety.

Partially in-ground pool – ideal for those wanting a stylish look integrated into the garden, but without full excavation.

In-ground pool – best for those seeking a permanent, aesthetically pleasing solution fully integrated into the garden, who don’t mind more preparation work.

All Abatec pool solutions have their advantages. Above-ground pools offer convenience and quick setup, partially in-ground pools provide a balance of style and ease, and in-ground pools deliver elegance and durability. With Abatec’s range, you can choose a pool that fits your lifestyle, space, and user needs while keeping safety and maintenance in mind.
