Common Questions About Latham Above Ground Pools
As its name suggests, an above ground pool is a type of swimming pool that is built on top of the ground, without requiring the excavation typically associated with inground pools. These pools make it possible for backyards that have significant constraints (due to the size of the property or rocky, challenging terrain) to enjoy all the benefits of pool ownership without compromise.
Latham above ground pools are built from corrosion-resistant modular Radiant panel technology that create an attractive frame for the pool in a range of sizes and shapes. Panels typically sit 52” above ground with ample room to wade, relax, exercise, and unwind. These panels are overlaid with a vinyl liner, making them smooth to the touch and more comfortable underfoot.
Typically, aluminum above ground pools last between 15 and 20+ years. By contrast, Latham above ground pools are backed by industry-leading limited lifetime warranties, offering greater peace of mind and decades of enjoyment that last far longer than other types of pool materials.
Latham above ground pools are made from modular Radiant panels, manufactured in our US factories. These durable panels leverage innovative technologies that were originally developed for NASA. This superior engineering results in a lightweight panel for easier and quicker installation. Radiant panels are made from a closed-cell polystyrene core bonded between two sheets of acrylic-coated aluminum. Their unique construction offers greater durability than other pool materials, including aluminum, steel, polymer, and even 12-inch concrete.
The average cost of an above ground pool varies, depending on the size, shape, and style you choose – as well as any custom features you want to add, including decking and landscaping. Overall, above ground pools cost substantially less than inground pools, offering both time and monetary savings on installation and labor since they do not require excavating a space in your backyard.
Latham above ground pools are constructed from Radiant pool panels that combine unparalleled structural integrity with R-10 insulation for natural heat retention. This translates to more comfortable swims, extended seasons, and substantial energy cost savings that will make this upgrade pay off over the years.
