Inground Vinyl
Traditional in-ground pools usually have reinforced walls with vinyl liners.
Rectangular pools are the most common, but a variety of L-shaped, free form
and other shapes are also available.
Choices are plenty for patterns and colors, as well as other options which
allow owners to add a personal touch to these pools.
Excavation is necessary before installation, so these pools fall into a higher
price range than aboveground pools.
==========================================
Aboveground
Aboveground pools are less permanent than other styles, and most can be drained
and moved to another location if necessary. Sizes range from 8 feet to 28 feet,
with depths up to 7-feet on some models. Raised decks that partially or completely
surround the pool can be added for safety, convenience and aesthetic purposes.
Aboveground pools are the most budget-friendly.
===========================================
Fiberglass
Fiberglass pools have been around since the 1950s. These one-piece, factory-built
shells are made with fiberglass and finished with a gel coating similar to that
used on modern boats.
Fiberglass pools are a popular choice for many owners because installation time is
quicker than some other styles. The pool shell is delivered complete to your home.
After the hole is dug, the shell is lifted into place, leveled and water is added.
These pools are manufactured to withstand temperature changes and maintain the
original surface beauty over time. Weekly chemical and cleaning maintenance is
needed to protect the finish.
==========================================
Inground Gunite
Gunite pools are the most elaborate of the pool categories.
These are permanent, reinforced pools with concrete and plaster
instead of liners. Excavation is necessary, and a variety of
creative options are available to complement these high-quality pools,
including waterfalls, custom steps and beach entries.
The high quality of these pools usually puts them in the highest price range.
