Inground Swimming Pools
When considering what sort of inground swimming pool you want for your home, ask yourself:
- What sort of shape do I want my inground pool to have? Am I comfortable with a traditional rectangular or L-shaped design, with depths pre-determined?
- Do I want a custom swimming pool design with custom pool flooring, a unique pool shape, or integration of a jacuzzi or hot tub into the overall pool design?
- Do I want to install the pool myself, or rely on a pool installation expert?
- Am I comfortable replacing pool liners, or adding chemicals to my pool on a regular basis?
- How long do I expect my inground pool to last before it requires major repairs or replacement?
If you're unsure how to answer the questions above, or if you just wish to better understand your inground pool options, read about the key strengths and weaknesses of each pool type below.
