To find the cheapest inground pool, take into account the shape, size, and material.
If you’d like to install the cheapest type of inground pool, go for the smallest of the standard sizes (10 x 20 feet) and either a rectangle or an oval shape. In terms of material, a vinyl liner pool is cheaper than other materials – fiberglass or gunnite (concrete).
And voila! You’ve got yourself the cheapest inground pool in Lionville that money can buy ... or have you?
Add inlong-term maintenance cost. Maintaining and repairing a pool tends to be quite pricey, as well as time-consuming. A vinyl liner pool, while easier-care than gunnite, still requires more maintenance than fiberglass.
Think about curb appeal and resale value. When you buy a vinyl liner pool, you can expect your purchase to be enjoyed by your family and friends for a few years. Once you put your house on the market, though, this type of pool won’t be as appealing as the alternatives ... and could even be a buyer turnoff.
Consider durability. This department is where a vinyl liner swimming pool really fails. The vinyl liner can be torn or punctured easily (it might even be attacked by insects – yuck!), and will need to be replaced after only about 5 to 9 years. Don’t expect that your warranty will cover the replacement cost, either, because it is prorated, so any potential payout will shrink as the years go by.
