Inground pools are essentially pools that are built into the ground. These are most commonly constructed from materials such as concrete, fiberglass and natural stone. They can be of a custom size and shape.

A swimming pool is what virtually every home needs; ranging from its aesthetics to the relaxing feeling it gives its users, building one is what you can’t resist. How about getting an expert contractor to build an inground pool in your space?

Types of In-ground Pools

Before you opt for that, you need to know the different types of pools, and what each of them entails. Check out the listing below:

Fiberglass Pool

This inground pool option is the choice of some pool lovers; it’s often a whole piece that is shipped to your space and lowered into the dug hole. They are made already unlike some other pool options. Fiberglass pools come in various sizes and models, making homeowners to make their choices. If you have ever seen a pool being shipped to a buyer’s house, that’s fiberglass pools.  These pools made from fiberglass are somewhat easy to maintain as they flaunt gel-coated surfaces which are nonporous. There isn’t much time involved in building fiberglass pools as most of the building process is done off-site – this is an added advantage. They have no liner, and that creates no room for puncture.

Concrete Pool

On the list is another type, concrete inground pools. It’s one of the most common type of pool; it uses steel-reinforced concrete to make a concrete shell and plaster that holds water. It can be plastered over and over again when needed. When a hole is excavated, it’s lined and made into the desired shape with the custom features included. After lining, the pool is shelled and the project completed. However, this ground pool option may require weekly maintenance to avoid the buildup of algae on the water. Likewise, there is the need to lower and control the water PH often.

Vinyl Pool

This type of pool is built with plastic, or metal frames carefully lowered into the site. The walls around are made of aluminum or plastic linked to the frame. The resulting form is lined with vinyl materials to create the pool shell design. It’s worth noting that vinyl pools are prone to deterioration over time with exposure to pool chemicals though some are strengthened with UV inhibitors.

When it comes to vinyl liner pools, there are basically three varieties which are the steel wall, polymer wall, and the cement wall versions. While the cement option is the most common type of vinyl ground pools, they are open to different shapes and designs.

Different types of pools exist; you have to make your choice in line with your style and budget. You can also reach out to a professional like us to help you make thoughtful decisions by weighing the pros against the cons too.

Inground pools generally cost more to build than the above ground counterparts. The reason is not far-fetched; the former ones entail the extensive use of more materials and expansive site preparation compared to the latter. Check out some of these materials and installations that could increase the cost of constructing inground pools:

• Fiberglass – This is one of the different choices of materials that are often used as liners when building pools. It is more expensive than the vinyl option.
• Vinyl – If you are not using the fiberglass option, then you are most probably going to settle for the vinyl option. It costs less than fiberglass liner option.
• Accessories – These are another set of materials and additions that tend to pull up the cost of building a pool. Would you want your pool to have different ladders, heating system, vacuum assemblies, and covers among others? You have to consider the costs involved and your style while making your choice.
• Patio Installation – Most pools need surrounding patio, and installing such comes with extra costs which can increase the overall cost of constructing your pool.
• Cost of chemicals – You also have to consider the quality of chemicals to be used in building your pool, so it’s swimmable and clean.

How about the size and location of your pool?

When you are making an estimate or ready to get a quote from your pool building contractor, you need to know that the size and location of your pool; it’s of importance to know that the pool depth is a factor too. An average pool has dimensions of about 7 x 3m. In the same manner, the layers of your site can increase the cost of building your pool. A project that involves blasting one or more rock layers to construct a pool will cost more than one done on an area with an even soil layers. Custom features and designs also come with extra costs.
