noob questions regarding above ground pool

10 years ago

Hi, I am looking to buy and get installed an above ground pool. Before I go around to the local shops, just thought I would ask some questions here.
What are some good qualities I should look for when buying an above ground pool? I know I read some where the sides are made from steel, extruded aluminum, and maybe resin? which would be best?
which company has best deals?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
