Advantages Of Inground Swimming Pools
Swimming Pool Design and Construction
If you're considering getting a swimming pool, your first option will probably be an above ground one, but you should also consider the advantages of inground swimming pools before making your decision. Above ground ones are cheaper to buy, easy to install and cheap to maintain. Their installation will probably only take a couple of hours, so it's quite convenient to get one of these. Usually, inground swimming pools are built by making a hole in the ground, then setting up the framework outside, and then putting the liner in.
There are many advantages to inground swimming pools. They give you a bigger space to swim, you can customize them by having a shallow end for the kids and a deep end for diving in. They're also built to last: inground swimming pools have concrete around the sides and along the bottom, so they'll be around for many years. This basically means that you pay more, but that you definitely get your money's worth when choosing this type of pool.
If you have decided that inground swimming pools are the best choice for you, you should know that there are some more choices to be made, such as what type of liner to get. The most common one in cold climates is the vinyl liner, because it looks good and it's the most suitable option for the winter months and the natural freezing of the soil. Another good option when it comes to inground swimming pools' liner is fiberglass and concrete. The first one is factory-produced and it's made from fiberglass reinforced plastic and then molded to look like a huge bathtub. The biggest advantage of this is that you don't need to replace it, like you would vinyl. However, there are drawbacks to this type of installation for inground swimming pools since there are no structural qualities. Concrete gives you the most freedom for inground swimming pools and is the best option for most California pools since it offers the most structural qualities and the natural soils in most areas do not freeze. Also, more steel rebar can be used for inground swimming pools in areas where the soils expand and contract with the different seasons.
