Vinyl Pools
The only type of pool that offers the ease of installation similar to fiberglass – and the customization edge of gunite – is the vinyl liner pool. Vinyl pools are budget-friendly, and building a vinyl pool it takes no longer than 4-8 weeks on average.
Low Initial Costs
Building a vinyl swimming pool is a pocket-friendly project; even the custom designs cost less than gunite or fiberglass. The installation completes much faster than concrete.
High Level of Customization
Virtually any shape of a vinyl pool can be accommodated by modern manufacturing techniques that create a vinyl liner. Your shape & size options are virtually endless when building a vinyl liner pool.
Liner Replacements
Vinyl swimming pools need regular maintenance and inspections to stay in shape. Upon that, the pool may require five to six replacements in its lifetime. If you happen to find small tears, you can fix it quickly using patching glue.
Wrinkles With Time
In high water table areas, the liner seems to be floating when there is excess groundwater. When the groundwater recedes, it creates lines, and removing them is a time-consuming process. Keep in mind: You cannot drain the pool entirely without the liner becoming brittle.
Vinyl Pool Building Process
Vinyl liner swimming pools offer more flexibility in design than fiberglass, and the installation process is more straightforward than with gunite inground pools.
Request A Free QuoteExcavation
We excavate the site, remove the dirt, and verify the vinyl pool elevation.
Pool Wall Panels
The vinyl pool walls are installed with galvanized steel, wood, concrete, or polymer material.
Concrete & Plumbing
We run the plumbing lines and pour concrete footing (about eight inches deep) around the pool.
Pump & Filter
The main drains, plumbing, and pool equipment are set up.
Base & Backfill
We trowel the base material mix and lay down the pool bottom over the exposed earth on which the liner rests. Next, we install the coping and backfill the pool.
Liner Installation
The liner bead is inserted into the wall panel-mounted track, upon which it snaps into place. The vinyl liner is vacuumed carefully to prevent air leaks.
Filling the Pool
Water is filled, and the automatic pool cover is installed.
Deck Installation
Concrete is poured around the pool for stamped or stone patio. We then install the permanent fence and pool landscaping.
Water Chemistry
Before we start your pool, we check and balance the pool water chemistry and then run the filtration system.
