Semi-Inground Swimming Pool FAQs
Answers to common questions about semi-inground pool materials, installation, shapes, brands, and available options.
What is a semi inground pool?
A semi-inground pool is an above ground pool that can be installed partially in the ground. Semi-inground pools are sturdier than standard above ground pools because they are designed to withstand pressure from backfill or dirt against the pool wall.
Are semi-inground pools made from metal or aluminum?
Many semi-inground pools are made from aluminum because it is rust-resistant. If aluminum is coated with resin or other protective coatings, it can help improve resistance to corrosion.
Some metal wall pools also use resin rails, resin uprights, and protective wall coatings to help withstand acidity in the soil.
Why would someone choose a semi-inground pool over an inground swimming pool?
A semi-inground pool can be a good option when a fully inground pool is not practical because of site conditions such as a hillside, rocks, or a high water table.
Some homeowners also choose semi-inground pools because they can offer easier installation compared to a fully inground pool while still creating a more built-in look than a standard above ground pool.
Is there only one size or shape available?
No. Semi-inground swimming pools are available in round and oval shapes, with several size options depending on the model.
Who manufactures the semi inground pools?
