Lamark Lasa = Aluminum Pool Wall | Lamark Edge = Steel Pool Wall
If you followed a link to this page, you probably heard that the Lamark pool is the ultimate value in above ground swimming pools. It is! I designed this pool to blow away all competition. The Lamark above ground swimming pool is available with a 9 steel wall designs and 3 aluminum pool wall prints, with an attractive White Resin framing.
We sell the exact same walls with our more expensive above ground pools, we use the same high-end full print beaded liners as our more expensive models, but yet this model cost the least. This was designed and manufactured by the oldest most trusted pool manufacture in the county. Because like me, they were sick of people getting taken advantage of. Buying trashcans for pools, and trash bags for pool liners for all the money!
As such this pool is not for everyone, This value priced pool is only available in white resin framing, and only 4 round sizes: 15, 18, 21, and 24 round. If you have the budget to spend more, we have larger sizes, more colors and other shapes for more money.
The Lamark took top honors as the best value above ground pool.
Pool Sizes
The Lamark is available in five sizes, and eight 52 inch wall pattern options.
Available Sizes:
- 12’x52″ Round
- 15’x52″ Round
- 18’x52″ Round
- 21’x52″ Round
- 24’x52″ Round
Lamark Specifications
Now let’s talk about how great this pool is, and why I say it’s amazing. What makes the Lamark stand out from the rest of the pack?
First, it is the least expensive pool that still challenges any in its class (rolled wall) for strength and durability; you can’t buy a better permanent-above-ground pool for less. You can, however, spend much much more and “NOT” get as good a swimming pool.
It boggles my mind that people still sell pools with steel top rails and uprights. The Lamark resin frame is all extruded, the caps are resin, the top and bottom wall track joiners are resin. There is no steel in the framing to rust or rot out.
The Lamark above ground pool comes in two models, the Lamark Edge, and the Lasa. The only difference between the Edge and the Lasa is the wall. The Edge has a steel wall, while the Lasa has a NASA-grade aluminum wall. Lamark + NASA = LASA
Lamark Lasa Pool Replacement
Below is an image of the pool we replaced with a Lamark Lasa, notice the rust on the wall around the return line, this is a common failing of steel wall pools. The pool wall rotted enough that the pool was leaking. Eventually, the wall lets go flooding the area, in this case, the rot was pointing right at the homeowner’s house with a finished basement.
The Lamark has the best American steel walls. They last a lot longer than the cheap box store thin steel walls made with recycled metals. Most manufacturers and even cheapo manufacturers threat the steel with paint and non corrosive protectors, but then the wall is rolled out, corrugated, and then cut to size, also the skimmer and water return holes are cut, this leaving bare untreated raw steel. The Lamark comes with a special gasket so the water never touches the wall.
Here we replaced an already existing heated pool, rarely do I get to take a picture of one of my swimming pools with the landscaping looking good, and with a deck built. We replaced the steel wall pool that was rotting out with this resin and aluminum pool (Lamark Lasa) that will probably outlive the owners.
We packaged the new pool with a premium full print beaded liner and the customer upgraded their old filter to one of my Premium 100 square foot cartridge filters with energy efficient two-speed pumps. They kept their existing pool-heater, and we just plumbed it back into the new system.
Like many of today’s modern pools, this one is a Hybrid in every sense; it has components made from aluminum, resin, and Stainless steel (hardware). All Lamark above ground pools come with stainless steel hardware.
The pattern in this picture below is available on both our Lamark Edge and Lasa models.
Lamark Pool Wall Prints
Lamark Edge (Steel) Above Ground Pool Wall Options
Lamark Lasa Wall Prints (Aluminum)
Whichever model you choose, rest assured you are buying either the best steel wall available or the best aluminum wall. I don’t just throw the word “best” around lightly. Our aluminum wall is thicker than any other manufacturers. Our steel wall is as thick as the best and treated as good as the best. I would compare it to Doughboy higher end pool line.
Even though this is the least expensive model from MGK Pools, it has the same high-end wall you will find on their most expensive models. You can package any of our walls with the Lamark Pool. We have eleven wall patterns to choose from in all, eight steel, and three aluminum. You may have noticed we use a couple of the same designs/ prints for steel and aluminum.
Design Options
The pool framing, meaning all the top-rails and uprights are white. White will match any wall patterns or vinyl liner prints; white fades less in the sun than darker colors do. Its framing is reliable and has a manufacturers 30 year warranty. The color is in the resin, so you don’t have to worry about paint chipping, rusting, scratching, chipping or anything.
All our design patterns are printed on Hot Dipped Galvanized G90 Steel, from US Steel mills and then corrugated for extra strength. Our Aluminum walls come in three prints and are the thickest non-extruded Aluminum wall you can buy, and also corrugated for extra durability.
Bottom Channel | Top Channel | Connector Plates
As you probably know, the wall sits on a bottom track, we made this out of Aluminum for both Lamark models, so it is easier to bond the pool, and less prone to rot. We could have gone with a cheaper steel option or resin, but chose not too. For the upper track, we went with Resin. Resin will never rot, and will always provide strong support for the top of the wall.
All connector plates are composite resin.
Top Rails, Caps & Uprights
Again we went with Resin. There’s a reason manufacturers offer extended warranties for resin pools. They know there is nothing to rot out. Our Lamark Models features modern attractive white top rails, caps and uprights.
Our two-piece cap wraps the top rail with a skirt, which offers the top-rail extra strength and support.
Hardware
Nothing lasts as long or is as good as Stainless steel hardware. We include Stainless steel screws with every pool.
Warranty
A quick word about warranties, while you will read about 35 and 60-year warranties. If you read the fine print of any of these manufacturer warranties, You see it only applies to “manufacturers defects.” Also, all these pools start to prorate the wall after just two years. That means after just two years you are on the hook for 50% of the wall cost (60 years my caboose. I will double that and give you four years non-prorated. Warranties against manufacturers defects are not worth much, but mine is better, just like my pools. 🙂
