Q: What is a good-sized pool for a small backyard?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/small-backyard-ideas.htm">Small backyards</a> are not a reason to write off fun upgrades like an above ground pool.

You will need at least 2 to 3 feet around the outside of your pool for additional support and for placing pool equipment, but a professional pool installer can help you find a model that's right for your tiny outdoor space.</p></div>
