The Best Time to Buy an Above-Ground Pool

Traditionally, mid-summer / early fall has been the best time of the year to score a great deal on an above-ground swimming pool. But the current economy has changed all the rules. Whether you get an above-ground pool before Memorial Day, after Labor Day or any other time of the year, you still have the potential of saving hundreds of dollars, especially if you keep an eye on fluctuating prices. Above-ground pools can be as simple or elaborate as you need, desire or can afford. Take a look at the assortment of on-ground and above-ground swimming pools currently available and take the plunge if the price is right, or get a jump on next year's swim season!
