Why Hybrid Pools Are Gaining Popularity in Rhode Island
Above ground pools have always been a favorite for Rhode Island homeowners who want backyard fun without the higher cost of inground construction. But in recent years, hybrid above ground pools have become the go-to choice. By combining the durability of resin with the strength of steel, hybrids offer the perfect balance of longevity, style, and affordability.
At Pools Plus, we’ve seen more families choose hybrid pools because they deliver both performance and value. If you’re considering adding a pool to your backyard, here’s why hybrids may be the best option for you.
What Is a Hybrid Above Ground Pool?
A hybrid pool uses both resin and steel components to maximize durability. Resin resists corrosion, while steel provides structural strength. This blend creates a pool that can withstand harsh weather and years of use without warping or rusting.
Key features of hybrid pools include:
- Sturdy framework made from corrosion-resistant materials
- Long-lasting liners designed to resist fading and tearing
- A range of sizes and shapes to fit different backyards
- Stylish finishes that blend with landscaping and hardscapes
Benefits of Hybrid Above Ground Pools
Durability and Longevity
Traditional above ground pools can wear down over time due to rust or sun exposure. Hybrids combat these issues by combining steel strength with resin’s resistance to UV rays and corrosion.
Affordable Luxury
Hybrid pools cost less than inground pools but offer a polished, upscale look. This makes them an excellent choice for homeowners who want the best of both worlds.
Easy Maintenance
With strong liners, corrosion-resistant parts, and efficient filtration systems, hybrid pools are designed to be easier to care for compared to standard models.
Versatility in Design
Hybrid pools come in a variety of sizes and styles, from compact options for smaller yards to larger models that can host family gatherings. Pools Plus can also add decking and landscaping to complete your outdoor retreat.
Hybrid Pools vs. Traditional Above Ground Pools
While both provide backyard fun, hybrid pools offer clear advantages:
-
- Stronger Construction: Resin and steel resist weather damage better than all-steel designs.
- Longer Lifespan: Fewer issues with rust or corrosion mean hybrids last longer.
- Better Appearance: Sleek, modern finishes make hybrids blend better into backyard spaces.
- Higher Value: The durability and design flexibility make hybrids a smarter long-term investment.
- Stronger Construction: Resin and steel resist weather damage better than all-steel designs.
