Supplies for Above Ground Pool
- Having a swimming pool in your own backyard is like having a summer-long vacation. While in-ground pools are extremely costly, above-ground swimming pools are more cost friendly for families on a budget. Yet, pool maintenance and supplies can be costly. However, there are now a number of online supply stores that offer more affordable accessories for above-ground swimming pools. Whether pool owners are looking for ready-made decking, ladders or solar pool covers, they can find affordable supplies online from companies that offer free shipping. Investment in an above-ground pool is an investment in years of family fun. Saving money on the purchase of supplies makes it all the better.
- The installation of a deck, however small, around an above-ground pool makes the structure more attractive and inviting. A ready-made 5 foot by 13 foot resin Blue Wave pool deck is an attractive addition to pools of 48 to 52 inches in depth. The deck can be used on round pools or on the ends of oval pools. This pretty white deck will fit pools from 18 to 30 feet in diameter and retails for under $3,000. The company boasts this deck as providing "strength, safety and ease of installation on any pool." The modular construction is the key to easy installation; and the maintenance-free resin is durable and provides a skid-free surface.
- For pool owners who do not want a large deck or who are on a tighter budget, the Biltmore Step-to-Ladder entry is an excellent and affordable alternative. For under $360, this ladder offers easy, maintenance-free entry and exit to any above-ground swimming pool up to 54 inches in depth. Manufactured by Blue Wave with corrosive-free polyethylene, the deck supports swimmers up to 350 pounds. The ladder attaches securely to the top of the pool, covers and protects the pool's top rail and features deep ladder treads for safe climbing.
- An affordable Solar Pool Blanket serves as both a pool cover and a heating mechanism for above-ground swimming pools. Ranging in price from $50 to $210, depending upon the size, solar blankets by Blue Wave are constructed with thermal bubbles that retain heat when the pool is covered at night. The company boasts that the blanket will heat pools by up to 15 degrees. The 8-mm blankets allow sunlight to reach the water for optimal heating and are UV protected for maximum lifespan. Blue Wave offers a three-year warranty on this inexpensive and useful pool product.
