MGK | Above Ground Pool Packages

Kids by pool with swimming goggles

The pool accessories we recommend to complete your package: Confer 7200 ladder, 120 Square Foot Cartridge filter with energy efficient 2-speed pump, and nine piece pro maintenance tool kit – Total pool accessory cost $729.00

If you would like these or other pool accessories, perhaps a different filter type, drop-in-steps instead of a ladder, Oxygen Pools automatic sanitation system, or add some other special items to your package. Visit our Custom Pool Package Builder Page to assemble your own unique pool package with just the items YOU WANT.

1st Pool Package: Lamark

The Lamark is sold with a steel wall (The Edge model), and with an aluminum wall (The Lasa Model). (Completely Above Ground Models)

The Lamark brand pools are modeled after the Buster Crabbe’s Neptune, but I have made a couple of modifications improving on their great design. I am the only dealer offering an aluminum wall upgrade (Lasa). I also include a metal bottom wall track instead of plastic for both the Edge and the Lasa so you have something to bond the pool to, rather than drilling holes in the pool wall.

Lamark Edge White Resin Pool Frame with your choice of eight steel wall prints/designs.

Lamark Lasa with three aluminum wall prints/designs to choose from.

You can easily see the fantastic value of the Lamark Pool when you consider that you get the same exact premium pool wall and premium pool liner as provided with our more expensive Atlas and Dauntless pool models. Also the aluminum wall upgrade is priced at my cost.

The MGK Pools Inc, steel walls are all reinforced Hot Dipped Galvanized w/ G90 Treatment US Steel. The aluminum wall is almost twice as thick as any steel wall pool on the market. MGK Aluminum walls are of Nasa grade aluminum (hence the name NASA + Lamark = Lasa).  Read more about the Lamark Edge and Lasa (Brochure Page w/ Photo Gallery) Above Ground Pools. The only problem with this pool is its only available in white, no oval options, and the biggest round is 24.

There is no way you can buy a better swimming pool for less money. You just can’t, you can find cheaper pools but, I promise you are compromising on the most important aspects, a.k.a. The Wall and liner!

Most cheapo big box stores swimming pools with a steel wall are rusted out within 3 years and need to be replaced. And if you look closely at their 60 year, or lifetime warranty you’ll see the wall is prorated 50% after just 2 years.

Package Options #3 & 4 : The Atlas

Atlas Brochure Page w/ Photo Gallery – Click Here

The Atlas (Completely Above Ground Model) swimming pool has a extremely robust Resin framing, It’s a thick reinforced extruded resin available in either White, Brown, Gray, or Charcoal to match our unique wall designs. The top-plates are almost 10 inches wide. The color is infused all the way through so you cannot chip or scratch off top coat.

Unlike our Lamark Pool; Our Atlas above-ground pool comes in an oval shape too, with multiple sizes to choose from. The 15×30 being the most popular size. The Atlas Oval Pools range from 12×24 to 18×33.

All Atlas Oval Pools are what we call buttress free or slim design (yard-more), meaning they are engineered so you do not need the side braces (kickstands) you normally see on the straight side of an oval pool. Buttress-free/ Slim models do cost slightly more than those with buttresses, due to the extra heavy steel framing required. 

All Atlas oval pools are buttress free as seen in this picture.

Package #5: Dauntless Pool Quick Price

Dauntless Oval Pool
Dauntless Oval Shape Pools Have Buttresses On Straight Sides As Seen Above

Our Dauntless above ground pool is a throwback to before the term “designed obsolescence” was ever coined. Meaning before you could design something to break down just after the warranty expired.

A time when everything was over-engineered and seemed to last forever. They didn’t know how long things would last back then, so they just built them like tanks.

Pools like the Dauntless are not built like this anymore, with extra materials and accent feature strips. No other above ground pool manufacturer will spend the money on the additional tooling, materials and labor that go into a design like this one. Everything has to be made cheaper and cheaper to appeal to the masses. Not with our Dauntless!

Deck and or fence options too: The Dauntless is available with a fenced and or deck that comes with a locking gate, steps with handrails, and a ladder to access the pool for an additional $2800.00. Availability: Massachusetts, Southern NH, Eastern CT, Southern ME and parts of RI. Will not ship decks to other areas. See Pricing Here

Aquasport 52 Semi Inground Pool
17×32 Aquasport 52 Semi Inground Installation

Here is where you separate the men from the boys, the girlies from the woman, the good from the best, this is without a doubt the strongest pool you can buy. There are no pools that last longer and holds up better to extreme temperatures. That is why this pool has taken top honors as #1 in our best above ground pool reviews ever since we began comparing, reviewing, and judging above ground swimming pools, this model has owned top honors. It won “design awards” in the pool industry!

The Aquasport 52 is one of a very few models you can bury in the ground partially or completely. You can also install it on a slope or hill. It’s also available with an inground skimmer. It is the only semi-inground that does not require a cement collar poured at the base of the pool during installation.

The wall is not like a typical above ground pool. It is assembled by interlocking four-inch panels. There is a bead and a receiver on every panel creating a 1.5 inch column every 4 inches. Plus, each panel is twice as thick as any rolled wall pool.

24×52 not included here as it is a real semi-inground and has to go into the ground by at least one foot. $8061.00 However, it does not require a cement collar like all other semi-inground pools

Oval Aquasport 52 Pool Prices

15×30 ($9920.00) and 17×32 ($10429.00) Oval Aquasport 52’s also must be installed 1 foot minimum. Again unlike other real semi-inground pools, ours does not require a cement collar.

I am the only Aquasport 52 dealer I know of that assists DIY homeowners and professional installers with the installation and set up of this pool. All who buy this pool and need or want my personal cell phone number, GET IT. Video of me building a 21 round Aquasport 52 (see how simple it is to build in this video).

If you’ve been dreaming about the inground look but the price tag isn’t realistic, certain above ground pools can be buried to look exactly like an inground pool. Read our DIY Inground Above Ground Pool guide to see how it works and what it really costs.


Option #7 Admirals Walk Above Ground Pool With Deck

Admirals Walk Above Ground Pool Brochure & Photo Gallery Click Here

Single end deck 16×24 Admirals Walk Swimming Pool Tewksbury MA

I rank this pool better than Kayak Pools and the same quality as The Gibraltar Pool / Wilkes. The Admirals Walk Pool is manufactured by Aquasport Pools LLC / Buster Crabbe. It is the best rectangle above ground pool money can buy with deck and fence.

On our 16×24 and 16×32 Pools, the big patio deck is 5 1/2 feet x 19 feet with a foot and a half walk around deck, add a second big deck for a double end deck measuring 11’x19′. We sell this entire pool system for less than a custom deck would cost to build.

Our decks come in just four sections all welded at the factory for amazing rigidity, strength, and longevity!

Admiral’s Walk Above-Ground Pool Complete Package Prices

Installation of this pool varies from 4,800-8k depending on size and configuration.

Cost of Admirals Walk Package

Made with Thick 14 Gauge Powder Coated Steel Panels

The Fox Ultimate is another bullet proof pool like the Aquasport 52. Capable of semi inground and inground installation. While all but two Aquasport 52 pool sizes can go completely onground, most of the Fox ultimate sizes and shapes must be buried. The exception are rounds up to 24 round which can be installed above ground and do not require a cement collar. The optional 8 foot inground step cost an extra $3,400.00.

Compare MGK Pool Models. Choose With Confidence. Buy From the Source.

After selling and installing above-ground pools from nearly every major manufacturer over the past few decades — including Doughboy, Buster Crabbe, Aquasport, Wilbar, Swim & Play pools, and more — I’ve come to one conclusion: Aquasport Pools LLC builds the best-engineered above-ground pools in America.

And the two best semi inground pools are the Fox Ultimate and Aquasport 52.

All MGK Pool models share these traits:

FAQ Section:

Here are FAQs with clean, direct answers written to expand your search footprint.

What are the best above ground pool brands?

You want a wall made of USA Steel and only two American companies use High grade US Steel, 1st is Doughboy pools, but just their most expensive models, and Buster Crabbe who uses the best US steel for all models.

What is the best above-ground pool for long-term durability?

The Aquasport 52 and Fox Ultimate are the strongest above-ground pool available, built with interlocking aluminum panels that allow semi-inground installation and unmatched longevity.

What is the best above-ground pool for the money?

The Lamark (Edge or Lasa) gives you the same premium US Steel wall and thick beaded liner used in higher-priced models at the lowest overall cost. (compared to Buster Crabbe Atlas and Dauntless pools)

Which MGK pool model offers buttress-free oval options?

The Atlas is the only MGK model offering buttress-free ovals, making it the best choice for tight yards or anyone wanting a cleaner look.

What is the difference between an aluminum pool and a resin pool?

Aluminum pools (Lasa, Dauntless, Aquasport 52) never rust and are stronger structurally. Resin pools (Atlas, Lamark Edge frame) resist corrosion and will never chip, fade, or dent.

Can MGK Pools be installed partially inground?

Yes, the Aquasport 52 and Fox Ultimate are specifically engineered for partial or full burial and is ideal for sloped yards. Same goes for Admiral’s Walk. If you’ve been dreaming about the inground look but the price tag isn’t realistic, certain above ground pools can be buried to look exactly like an inground pool. Read our DIY Inground Above Ground Pool guide to see how it works and what it really costs.

Does MGK Pools offer installation?

We offer professional installation, excavation, and full setup in MA, Southern NH, Eastern CT, parts of RI, and Southern ME, and we ship pool kits nationwide. We recommend C & D installers for Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. See their service area

Are beaded liners better than overlap liners?

Yes. Beaded liners provide a cleaner fit, longer life, and easier future replacement without removing the top rails when installed with bead receiver. That being said, I would install a 20 mil overlap before a cheap beaded liner.

What size above-ground pool is best for families?

Most families choose 24 ft round or 15×30 oval, depending on available yard space.
