Hi everyone

I am Jiji from southern california. In my previous house, we always go to HOA pools and never had our own pool. We just moved to another area that has no easy access to public pools. I am thinking about to set up a back yard private pool. We only plan to live in this house for 6 years so an above ground pool is what I am thinking about. Our backyard has space for a 18' round pool or 18' X 9' rectangle pool. We have more space but I don't like the idea to occupy the whole back yard with the pool.

I am a little not sure how to start. Should I go all out to set up a 18' pool or go for a smaller pool (maybe 10') to test waters- making sure we can handle the pool maintenace and do use the pool a lot and then go forward with bigger pools.

Mostly the pool will be for my kids (12, 17).

Thanks

Jiji
