Thread: Is $8500 a good price for a 12x18 salt-water pool installed?

    Is $8500 a good price for a 12x18 salt-water pool installed?

    Have to start shopping around and this is the first one. Pool seems to be better quality, above ground plastic and aluminum structure, installed.

    I don't want an in-ground pool, I can't stand those. I want above ground with a huge wooden deck around it.

    Yeah Inground pools are the worst!

    At our old house I had 24’ round salt water above ground pool installed for 7500, so 8500 doesn’t sound unreasonable.

    Despite my thinking that your pool logic is backwards, yea that seems pretty fair price assuming no grading or excavation is needed.

    I just can't commit to an inground on my small property. I think I have only like 40x140 ish backyard and since my patio door is 4ft above ground, seems to make sense to me to make it above ground.

    My neighbour spent near 100k on his backyard... looks sweet but a tad much. I'd rather keep it under 20 grand all said and done, can't get into debt for that.

    Easy to spend big money on back yard mods, I stopped keeping track after 100k sadly I’m prob 125”ish” into mine.

    One suggestion is to get a gas heater for it, my inground doesn’t loose much temp at night, at our old place my above ground would drop 10-15 degrees overnight (late in the season)

    I’ve got a 250k BTU natural gas heater and it’ll raise my 20x38 2 degrees an hour and it’s 9’ deep, lots of water to
    Warm up.

    Worth the investment, will get you swimming earlier and later in the seasons.

    In London that pool was $7999 installed last March at the home show so I would say that's reasonable.

    For me though.
    Seriously been looking at these last 2 years.
    And the prices keep dropping.
    $28,000 installed and you can use it all year.
