After 16 years of dealing with above-ground pools of all styles, the simple answer is : Basic painted steel - 5 to 10 years. Steel/Resin hybrid - 8 to 15 years. All aluminium - 12 to 25 years. There is low end and high end quality in each category. Do your homework. More importantly the lower age is when problems start to arise, (rusting or dissolving parts), not the end life of the pool. Most important pH/alkaline balance of the water, avoid over chlorination, and watch out for wall damage, (lawnmower/kids throwing stones).
