A LEGACY OF BACKYARD SWIMMING
About Doughboy Pools
For generations, Doughboy has helped families bring swimming and summertime together in their own backyards.
Doughboy’s story began in the years after World War II, when the company entered the outdoor family entertainment market. Over time, it grew into a pool manufacturer known for above ground pools and related equipment. Today, Doughboy says its products are made in its Arkansas manufacturing facility, where it oversees production from raw materials through finished products.
Doughboy offers pool designs with steel or resin frame components, along with liners, pumps, filtration systems, entry options, and accessories. Some Doughboy pools can also be installed in recessed configurations, giving homeowners additional ways to plan a pool around their yard. Availability and installation options vary by model and site.
The brand also emphasizes pool safety education. Doughboy provides safety information and materials to help pool owners make safety a part of enjoying their backyard.
At AppaeTech Pool Supply, we’re introducing Doughboy to our customers and can help answer questions as you explore the brand and consider what may suit your backyard.

Explore Pool Construction
Two Frame Styles.
Made for Different Looks.
Doughboy's above-ground pool catalog includes models with steel frame components and models with resin frame components. The frame style refers to parts such as the top rails and vertical supports; the exact construction varies by pool model.
A classic structural style
Steel Top Rails & Verticals
In Doughboy's steel-frame models, steel is used for the top rails and vertical supports. For example, the Summerville model lists steel Uni-fit top rails and steel verticals. Rail and support sizes, sidewall heights, and other details depend on the model.
Check each model's specifications for its exact frame design.
A shaped, finished profile
Resin Top Rails & Verticals
Some Doughboy models use resin for the top rails and vertical supports while retaining a steel pool wall. Autumn Breeze, for example, features curved resin top rails and resin verticals. Component shapes and dimensions vary across the catalog.
Resin frame components do not mean the entire pool is resin.
Shape & Layout
Round or oval?
Doughboy models may be offered in round and oval layouts, with options varying by model. An oval pool can work with a different yard layout than a round pool, so compare the available dimensions with the space you have in mind.
