Q: What is the average gallon pool size?

• <div><p>The average pool size in gallons is 15,360. This number is for a 16&rsquo; x 32&rsquo; pool with a four-foot depth. However, many pools have different depths at each end or irregular sizes, so you may need to use the formulas above to calculate exactly how many gallons of water you need.</p></div>

Q: How long do shipping container pools last?

• <div><p>Shipping container pools last up to 25 years. On average, they&rsquo;re more durable than the standard aboveground pool, which only lasts 10 to 20 years. Their durability is similar to fiberglass in-ground pools. Concrete pools, on the other hand, outlive almost any other type of pool. They can last indefinitely as long as you resurface them as needed. </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.

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>

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

The average pool size in gallons is 15,360. This number is for a 16’ x 32’ pool with a four-foot depth. However, many pools have different depths at each end or irregular sizes, so you may need to use the formulas above to calculate exactly how many gallons of water you need.

Pool leaks most commonly occur at joints or where different materials meet. The most frequent leak spots include:

The Pool Skimmer: Where the plastic skimmer meets the pool's liner or shell.
The Pool Liner: Tears can develop in vinyl liners, especially those between 5 and 20 years old. Leaks also occur around the liner's edge.
Fittings and Accessories: Areas around return lines, the main drain, and pool lights are common culprits.
Pool Equipment: The pump, filter, and filter housing can also leak.

While leaks in underground pipes are less common, they can be costly to fix. It's usually best to check the more common spots before investigating the plumbing system.
