So I just noticed that you can get a 50,000 litre above ground pool that is held back by nothing more than 0.5mm layer of vinyl and some cheap Chinese steel.

However an ingound pool on the other hand is around 6 inches thick of high strength reinforced concrete.
And the irony is the inground pool has the earth behind it to provide even more support.
The disparity is so huge between the two, how is this possible. Have in grounds been so way over engineered in the past and no one has bothered to redo the sums and its just a case of that's how its always been done?
that above ground pool is a use and dispose pool, its not the bestway to go (pardon the pun)
An inground pool would be a permanent feature and would add value to your property.
