Discover how different they are.<\/p>\n<h2>The structure<\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you need to know is that a steel pool has a <strong>solid steel structure<\/strong>, while a tubular pool is made of plastic, so it is not so resistant.<br \/>\nThe <em>plastic material of the tubular pool is the liner itself<\/em>; it means that it is completely exposed because there is not a solid structure to protect it; which is not the case of steel pools.<br \/>\nThe steel gives to the pool <strong>more resistant anchorage<\/strong>; which makes the pool more stable being anchored to the ground.<br \/>\nAlthough you cannot protect the walls of the tubular pool, there is a way to protect the liner off the ground that will help you if you have any type of above ground pool. There are bottom protective blankets to <em>prevent the liner being in contact with the ground.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>The design<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The design of the tubular pool is very different from the design of the steel pool. However, this is a matter of likes. We are not going to tell if one pool is visually more attractive than the other one; we only are going to <em>explain you some appreciations<\/em>.<br \/>\nTubular pools have and metal structure very easy to use; but there are some parts of the metal that are visible when the pool is assembled. In the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grepool.com\/en\/steel-pools\">steel pools<\/a>, the metal is hidden by trims that enhance aesthetics.<br \/>\nBoth type of pools are available in <strong>different sizes and forms<\/strong>, but steel pools are also in <em>different texture designs and colours<\/em>, that they adapt to any environment.<\/p>\n<h2>The assembly<\/h2>\n<p>The assembly of the tubular pools is very easy and fast. These pools don`t have any structure; they only have the plastic and the metal part which make them cheaper.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/gre-detachable-steel-swimming-pools-set-it-up-on-your-own-its-so-easy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The <\/a><strong>assembly of<\/strong> <strong>steel pools is also easy<\/strong> in every flat ground. They have the advantage that if you want to disassemble it and save it for the following season, <em>you don&#8217;t run the risk of it getting punctured<\/em> as can happen in tubular pools.<\/p>\n<h3>The durability<\/h3>\n<p>Once these pools are assembled, you must know that <em>they do not last the same<\/em>. Tubular pool has a shorter life; it can last about 5 year while an above ground steel pool lasts up to 15 years.<br \/>\nAt GRE we offer <strong>4 years of warranty<\/strong> for the structure of our steel pools.<br \/>\nAnd these are the main differences between both pools, what do you prefer?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know the difference between a tubular pool and a steel pool?
