Vinyl pools are popular because they are inexpensive. The pool is covered with a vinyl sheet that seals around the deck. Vinyl is flexibler than concrete and cheaper than fiberglass.
Resurfacing your pool can increase its longevity and give it a new look, regardless of budget. You can find more details about our costs in my main inground swimming pool cost guide.
Concrete shells with a Portland cement-based coating, also known as "plaster", are the most popular in-ground pools. This seals and protects your shell. The plaster can be coated with epoxy, paint or fiberglass. Plaster can also be used as a substrate to tile.
