Swimming Pool Choices
Households willing to integrate an in-ground swimming pool on their property often land up in a dilemma regarding the type and material. While concrete pools have been dominating the trend, you also have other viable options such as fiberglass and vinyl pools. In any case, you would be looking forward to hiring a reliable contractor.

At Thrive Pools, we have established a legacy for being one of the leading swimming pool installers in your city. We install all sorts of pools, depending on the aspirations and budget of our clients.Have a look at the benefits and costs of installing each type of swimming pool on your property.
Concrete Pools
Although expensive, concrete pools continue to be the most popular choice. We pump wet concrete into steel-reinforced walls through a hose. Once the concrete settles, we plaster, smoothen, and paint the surface. One of the prime benefits of using this type of solution for your swimming pool is that you can choose any shape or size to build your custom pool.Installing a concrete pool may take three to twelve weeks, depending on the size, features, and complexity. You must be knowing that concrete pools are the strongest in-ground pool. You can rebuild, enlarge, refinish, and update these pools over time.
Fiberglass Pools
These are factory-modeled pools, that are shaped into large shells shaped like bowls. Then a crane is used to set the installation into a hole that is excavated. Fiberglass pools come in somewhat limited shapes and sizes. However, one of the prime advantages of installing a fiberglass pool is the limited installation time. You simply need three days to install one of these pools. In terms of affordability, this is one of the best options for homeowners.Besides, these pools come with a highly smooth finish with a gel coat. This is non-porous and durable. In these pools, there is limited use of chemicals, as compared to the concrete ones. However, your backyard should have adequate space for a crane to operate. Besides, the presence of overhead wires might hinder the operation.
Vinyl Pools
Swimming pools lined with vinyl are growing in popularity. A single-piece flexible liner is used for making each of these pools. These liners fit into holes in the ground. Next, an aluminum or steel-framed wall is attached to them. While most of these pools are rectangular, you can also opt for L-shaped ones. Vinyl pools need one to three weeks to be installed.However, the liners are susceptible to damage from sharp objects. This explains why you need to invest in a heavy-duty liner.
