Above ground pool installation costs $1,600 to $7,500, depending on the pool size and depth. Higher quality, modular pools and luxury packages with decks, fencing, and covers cost more. Above ground pool prices are lower than inground pool prices because there is no need for excavation and all of the pool parts are ready to install.
Above ground pools come in round, oval, or rectangular shapes. The pool shape doesn't affect the final cost, but the pool height does. Taller walls, resulting in a deeper pool, are more costly to manufacture.
A common additional expense is to add a deck around the pool costs $25 to $50 per square foot, depending on the materials and design.
