The one that won us back
Buds stopped selling above-ground swimming pools a number of years ago—we were tired of tin cans pretending to be pools, and so were our customers.
The Metric, an above-ground pool model made by Radiant Pools, won us back. We love its look. The fact that it can install virtually anywhere. Its non-prorated structural lifetime warranty—even for winter damage. And its super-strong 2-inch thick insulated walls.

A pool for every site
Sloped yard? Existing deck? Narrow space? No problem. The Metric above-ground pool can be installed partially in-ground to cope with slopes and blend seamlessly with existing decks. The pool comes in seven round sizes, from 16 feet to 33 feet in diameter, and new freeform or oval sizes.

Best-in-business warranty
Above-ground pools are traditionally vulnerable to ice and snow damage – which is why most manufacturers don’t offer a winter damage warranty. Radiant Pools has so much confidence in the strength of its above-ground model to withstand the wickedest of winters that it offers the best warranty in the business: a lifetime promise of quality that’s transferable to the next owner. For most of Buds’ customers, this warranty seals the deal.

In-ground attitude
Smooth walls and an internal spline system give the pool a streamlined, contemporary look that blends beautifully into your backyard. Add-ons abound. Upgrade to a cartridge filter…a saltwater system…LED lighting…add fencing…and create a custom look with a premium 4-inch bullnose coping.
-
Perfect-fit cover
The Metric’s lightweight, hardwearing winter cover easily locks in a track, which means no cable to winch and less cleanup in the spring.
-
It's blue...and green
The Metric’s insulated walls are rated R-10, saving you money on heating, extending the pool season, and reducing your environmental footprint.

Pass the salt
Many traditional above-ground pools are incompatible with salt water chlorination systems – but not the Metric.
Buds was professional from start to finish with the planning, installation and after care of our pool. We were very impressed with their care to detail. I would recommend them highly to others!
