Posted In: On Ground (Semi-Inground) Pools
For homeowners who love the look of an inground pool but don’t love the price—or the excavation—ProPools often recommends the Rockwood On-Ground Pool System. It’s one of the most versatile pool structures available today, able to be installed fully above ground, semi-inground, or fully inground, depending on what your backyard demands.

Built for Challenging Landscapes
Rockwood pools use heavy-duty, ribbed steel wall panels engineered to withstand both soil pressure and above-ground installation stress. This makes them ideal for:
- Sloped yards
- Uneven terrain
- Customers wanting a partially recessed pool
- Deck-integration projects
While traditional above ground pools require level ground, Rockwood shines in backyards that don’t play by the rules.
Installation Versatility
Few pool systems provide as much flexibility. Rockwood can be configured in multiple ways:
- Fully inground for a premium built-in appearance
- Semi-inground to work with yards that have grade changes
- Above ground when homeowners want the simplest installation
This adaptability means you aren’t selling just a pool—you’re selling a backyard solution.
Strength, Durability, and Confidence
These pools are engineered with structural components designed to last decades, not seasons. Key features include:
- Corrosion-resistant coated steel
- Reinforced wall construction
- compatibility with vinyl liners of various patterns
- An installation process that accommodates real-world backyard conditions
Rockwood pools are frequently chosen by homeowners who plan to build decks, incorporate landscaping, or create a long-term outdoor living space.
Long-Term Value
Rockwood isn’t a “starter pool”—it’s a pool chosen by families who want to invest in something solid, flexible, and attractive without taking on the cost of a concrete or fiberglass in ground build.
