Summer fun to be found
with aboveground pool

THOUSANDS OF Canadian fami-
lies have turned their backyards in-
to home leisure and fitness centres
with economical, easy-to-install
aboveground pools.

Aboveground pools are less ex-
pensive than their inground
counterparts, can be made equally
attractive and are just as func-
tional.

An aboveground pool is basical-
ly a round or oval metal structure
shell with a vinyl liner. The frame
is usually aluminum or steel.

Most aboveground pools can be
partially submerged to reduce the
effect of their heights above grade.
Or they can be set into sloping
ground letting their water levels
come close to garden level.

Before selecting a location for
an aboveground pool, check with
the local building inspector. Many
communities require that a pool be
situated a certain number of feet
from a house and from front and
side property lines.

Also check plumbing and elec-
trical permits, certificates of oc-
cupancy and safety requirements.

Many aboveground pools come
in ‘‘kits’’, which can be assembled
by two or three people over a

weckend using tools commonly
found around the house.

Buyers should be sure their kits
contain complete instructions and
should review them with their
dealer before taking the kit home.
For less ‘‘handy’’ homeowners,

many dealers provide installation
at a modest additional cost. Most
others can recommend installers.

Once constructed, an
aboveground pool wil! become the
centre of family social activity,
recreation and exercise.
