An above-ground pool is a portable or semi-permanent swimming structure installed on top of the ground rather than being excavated. These pools typically feature a metal, plastic, or resin frame with a durable vinyl liner to hold water. They are popular for being cost-effective, easier to set up than inground models, and relocatable. Available in various shapes—mostly round or oval—they often include a ladder, pump, and filtration system for maintenance.
