I know... I know...



I want an inground pool but the chance of relocation looms over me in the future, so I don't want to invest 40k, plus limit the people who would want to buy my house down the road. The thought entered my mind to do a half in ground for minimal cost and I can always pull it out if need be.

Thoughts? Yes I know? Cost?

You could only improve upon this idea by putting it in your front yard.

Right next to the camaro on cinder blocks.

Why even bother putting it half in the ground? You'd still have to get the hole dug, taking it out if you're selling your house would be a pain in the arse, and then you'd be left with a big arse ugly hole in the ground to deal with.

And it's not like it would look much "nicer" half submerged.

I do agree actually, but why would I spend 40k on a pool to be relocated in 3 years? Some would say don't put a pull in but the boys love to swim and I already spend a good bit of time outside at the outdoor kitchen.

All in all I know it's a bad idea.

I am pretty sure the HOA would love this.

This is more of a hypothetical why / why not thread.

My wife would just say to get a damn inground.

You can get an above ground with a system and all that will last you a couple years for about 3 to 400$. All you need to do is level the base it will be sitting on with some dirt. This would be the cheapest method and easiest to rectify considering you are only gPing to be there for a few. I understand wanting a pool that's temporary due to the fact you are relocating, that being said people tend to judge and honestly they are not aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

I just bought an above ground 24'. they cannot yet come set it up due to the massive amounts of rain though. I don't want to burry half because I don't trust anything staying underground and "lasting". that's just me.
