Understanding the key differences will help you choose the best frame for your backyard and sanitation needs:
1. Traditional Steel Pools

- Models: Nakoma & Gemini
Round vs. Oval: Which Fits Better?
Every yard has unique boundaries, tree lines, and setback rules. Here is how the two shapes compare:
Round Above Ground Pools
Round pools are the most structurally efficient shape. Because water pressure is distributed equally across the entire perimeter, round pools do not require external side buttresses, leaving more room in your yard.
- Maximum swimming area per dollar spent
- Easier and faster excavation footprint
- No external side buttress brackets needed
Oval Above Ground Pools
Ideal for narrow backyards, side yards, and installations adjacent to long decks or boundary fences. Oval pools deliver great lap-swimming lanes and sleek backyard integration.
- Perfect for rectangular yards & narrow spaces
- Excellent for lap swimming and pool volleyball
- Clean alignment with wood and composite decks

Our Professional Installation Process
A pool is only as good as the ground it sits on. Here is how we ensure your pool stays rock-solid for decades:
Backyard Evaluation & Laser Transit Leveling
We shoot grades with a precision optical or laser transit. We always dig virgin soil down to the lowest point—we never build up low spots with loose fill dirt that settles and buckles.
Concrete Patio Blocks Under Every Upright
Every pool post sits on a solid 2-inch thick concrete patio block sunk flush into undisturbed earth. This prevents the uprights from sinking into wet soil when the pool fills with thousands of pounds of water.
Steel Wall Assembly & Ground Shield
We roll out and bolt the corrugated steel wall, install safety foam cove wedges along the inner perimeter, and trowel a clean masonry sand bottom free of rocks, roots, or sharp debris.
Commercial Vacuum-Seated Liner Fitting
Industrial suction blowers pull the heavy vinyl liner tight against the floor and steel walls, eliminating large wrinkles before water filling starts.
Filtration, Skimmer & Return Jet Hookup
We assemble the top rails, install the skimmer and return faceplates with fresh gaskets, set up the pump and filter system, and perform full leak checks so your pool is ready to swim.
