Best Answer

In above ground models, wood is much better than steel. If you "rough house" in a steel pool, you potentially could knock it down. It you run into it with a bike or lawn tractor you will likely know it down. A wood pool you could back your car into and not know it down. Wood you probably need to treat every 3 years, steel you don't, but it will rust. I don't have info on concrete.

Building a wooden structure would require assistance from someone with a knowledge of working with wood. taking into account the durability and aesthetic quality required. Wooden structures are usually more expensive to build than concrete and assembly would require great patience and skill. A concrete patio, however, is on the whole an easier project to undertake and whether using simple pouring concrete or ready-made slabs, the task is less daunting as the process is simple - excavation of the area in which you wish to build the patio, leveling of the area with building sand or similar, and then lay the concrete or slabs.
