  • Your walls on the side will actually keep debris and other things from blowing in. This will keep your pool cleaner. 
  • It is good protection from dogs or small children that should not be using the pool
Cons:
  • Some planning is going to be required because concrete may need to be poured before hand.
  • You may have to build or purchase stairs to enter the pool.
  • These tend to be more expensive. 

Partially In Ground

Pros:
  • Very easy to get to. You can even sit down right on the wall and put your feet in the water.
  • Stylish and makes cleaning easy
  • The walls keep from dirt and other things blowing in
Cons:
  • Again this could require some planning as concrete is most likely going to need to be poured
  • Dogs or small children have easier access to the pool. This may be unwanted. 

In Ground

Pros:
  • This will have the easiest access since you can just walk right in. 
  • Usually easy to clean since it is not hard to get to all areas of the pool.
  • Can be less expensive than other styles.
Cons:
  • Since this has the easiest pool access, you are going to want to consider the depth of your pool since pets and children will have access.
  • More injuries are caused because of slippery decks.
