Your Semi-Inground Pool Installers questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does a semi-inground pool cost?

A semi-inground pool costs $7,000 to $25,000 with installation on average. Material prices are $2,000 to $15,000 for the pool and retaining wall system, while labor prices are $2,000 to $10,000.

Semi-inground pools are ideal for sloped yards and smaller budgets but are not as customizable or long-lasting as traditional inground pools.

What is a semi-inground pool?

A semi-inground pool is made by either:

  • Partially burying an above ground pool 
  • Partially raising an inground pool

Semi-inground pools are popular in homes with sloped yards and take less time and money to install than fully inground pools.

How deep are semi-inground pools buried?

Installers typically bury semi-inground pools about 2 to 3 feet into the ground for an average total depth of 3 to 8 feet. Some semi-inground pools have a shallow and deep end, whereas others have one single depth across the bottom of the pool.

Are semi-inground pools worth it?

Semi-inground pools are worth it if you want the style and appeal of an inground pool but the affordability of an above ground pool. Semi-inground pools typically cost less for excavation and installation than inground pools. If you choose to remove a semi-inground pool later on, you’ll spend less to fill in the space.

How long does it take to install a semi-inground pool?

Installing a semi-inground pool takes 2 days to 5 weeks to excavate, place the pool, and add a retaining wall or enhancements. The project will end up taking longer if you have significant obstacles to remove or decide to build a deck or fence around the pool at the same time. 

How long do semi-inground pools last?

Semi-inground pools last 7 to 15 years when made with quality above ground pool materials that have durable walls. If you decide to use inground pool materials to build your semi-inground pool, it could last up to 75 years.
