A lot of people choose to own an
inground swimming pool although the above
swimming pools are cheaper to get, easier to install and cheaper to maintain. Because they are made of cement on both sides and along the bottom, the
inground swimming pool is very durable and designed to last for many years. They are slightly more expensive but worth every penny you pay. Also, you have a couple of choices when it comes to the design of your
inground swimming pool. For example, you can choose to build a shallow end for children and a deeper end for diving.
The installation of an inground swimming pool usually takes a bit more work than the installation of an above ground swimming pool (which usually takes only a few hours). The builders must first dig a hole in the ground and then set out the type of framework depending on the type of material to be used: concrete, vinyl, or fiberglass. For an inground concrete pool, the next step will be the electrical and plumbing followed shortly by the concrete installation giving the pool its shape. Finally the coping and tile are installed and the inground concrete pool is surfaced in plaster; leaving behind a beautiful, color coordinated inground swimming pool. Moreover, concrete as an inground pool is more customizable, able to add rocks and waterfalls easily, and is more structurally sound than the other inground pool liners
Other two good liner materials are fiberglass and vinyl. A vinyl liner for your inground swimming pool is a good building material for you if you live in a region that is known for harsh winters where the ground goes through several freezing and thawing changes during the seasons. Fiberglass is a good choice for you inground pool if time is a major constraint. Also, it is more resistant to algae and typically requires less maintenance however, customization is limited.
