Semi-Inground Pools
A semi-inground pool gives you the best of both worlds. It offers the clean, built-in look of an inground pool while maintaining the affordability and installation flexibility of an above-ground pool.
At Parrot Bay Pools, we install premium Radiant Metric Series semi-inground pools, designed for durability, versatility, and beautiful backyard integration. These pools can be installed partially in the ground, fully above ground, or fully inground depending on your yard layout and design goals.
This makes them an excellent solution for homeowners who want a high-quality pool but have terrain challenges, sloped yards, or a tighter budget than a traditional inground build.
Engineered for Strength and Efficiency
Radiant Metric Series pools use a unique insulated wall construction that makes them far stronger than standard above-ground pools.
Each pool wall is built from a 2-inch thick insulated panel with an expanded polystyrene foam core bonded between durable aluminum sheets.
The insulated wall system can also help maintain warmer water temperatures compared to traditional pool walls, improving energy efficiency when heating the pool.
Why Choose a Semi-Inground Pool
Semi-inground pools are one of the most versatile backyard pool options available today. They can be integrated into landscaping, built into decks or patios, and even installed on sloped terrain.
Unlike standard above-ground pools, these pools are engineered with structural walls strong enough to be installed partially or completely into the ground.
Semi-inground pools are one of the most versatile backyard pool options available today. They can be integrated into landscaping, built into decks or patios, and even installed on sloped terrain.
Benefits include:
Many homeowners choose semi-inground pools when they want a permanent backyard feature without the higher excavation and construction costs of a full inground pool.
Installation Options That Fit Your Backyard
One of the biggest advantages of semi-inground pools is installation flexibility.
1
Fully Above Ground
The entire pool structure sits above the ground with no excavation required. Often enhanced with decking or landscaping to improve aesthetics.
2
Semi-Inground
The pool is installed partially below grade, blending into the landscape while still exposing part of the structure. This creates a hybrid look between above-ground and inground.
3
Fully Inground
The pool is completely buried and sits flush with the surrounding patio or yard. This is the traditional inground pool look.
4
Sloped Yard
The pool is installed into a slope, where one side may be fully buried while the opposite side is exposed. This turns elevation into a design feature rather than a limitation.
