Q: Can you make an aboveground zero-edge pool?

• <div><p>Yes, it's possible to make an aboveground zero-edge pool. Note that it's most common to build an inground one, but, if you raise the deck and surrounding poolscape, you can install an aboveground version. Keep in mind, if you need to haul in dirt, it can significantly raise your land prep costs.</p></div>

Q: How many people fit in a 12-by-24-foot above ground pool?

• <div><p>The popular 12-by-24-foot oval above ground pool is ideal for a family of four or a group of four to five people at most. This above ground pool size is popular for balancing space in a backyard and easy use and leaves room for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/above-ground-pool-deck-ideas.htm">designing a pool deck</a> or patio.</p></div>

Q: What type of pool lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Fiberglass pools last the longest because they need the least amount of maintenance and do not have liners that can affect a pool's integrity. Concrete pools last the longest, next to fiberglass.</p></div>

Q: How long do semi-aboveground pools last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of a semi-aboveground pool depends on the lining, but they last between seven and 15 years on average. This is right in line with what you can expect from a standard aboveground pool. In comparison, an in-ground pool can last up to 75 years with a well-maintained concrete liner. </p></div>

Q: What is the most expensive part of installing a pool?

• <div><p>The most expensive part of building a pool is typically the excavation and labor, which can account for 25% to 50% of the total project cost. This is particularly true for inground pools that require significant excavation, potentially including the rental of large equipment, and extensive construction labor. In contrast, above-ground pools are generally less expensive as they typically do not require excavation and can be installed much more quickly. Concrete in-ground pools are among the most labor-intensive options.</p></div>
