There are many different types of in-ground pools, and it can be challenging to figure out which is the best. Luckily, there are ways to determine the best type for your backyard. Regarding in-ground pools, you can choose four main types of materials. These include concrete mixes, fiberglass, and vinyl. Each type of material has pros and cons that you&#8217;ll want to consider before making your final decision. This blog will discuss these different types and how to pick the best one.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-gunite\"><span id=\"1-gunite\">#1. Gunite<\/span><\/h2><p>A gunite\/concrete swimming pool is a popular choice because it is durable. Gunite is very strong, so swimming pools made of it last a long time. Concrete pools are durable and long-lasting but expensive and difficult to repair if something goes wrong.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-fiberglass\"><span id=\"2-fiberglass\">#2. Fiberglass<\/span><\/h2><p>Fiberglass pools are available in almost every size and shape you can imagine. They are pre-made pools that you put in your yard all at once. Fiberglass pools, like gunite pools, have heaters and lights to allow night swimming. Fiberglass is a robust and lightweight material hardened with a special polyester resin. Fiberglass pools are less expensive than concrete and are easier to repair, but they may not last as long.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-vinyl\"><span id=\"3-vinyl\">#3. Vinyl<\/span><\/h2><p>A custom-made sheet of vinyl between the water and the pool&#8217;s structure. Vinyl pools are the least expensive option but also need the most maintenance.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-choose-the-best-type-of-in-ground-pool\"><span id=\"how-to-choose-the-best-type-of-in-ground-pool\">How to Choose the Best Type of In-ground Pool<\/span><\/h2><p>For the best In-ground pool, you need to consider the following factors:<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-get-a-good-fit\"><span id=\"1-get-a-good-fit\">#1. Get a Good Fit<\/span><\/h3><p>Make sure the pool will fit in the space you have. Plunge pools are great for small outdoor spaces because they only take up about 8 to 10 square feet. A lap pool should be at least 60 feet long and 6 to 8 feet wide. Anything less than that will be frustrating for most lap swimmers.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-think-about-the-location\"><span id=\"2-think-about-the-location\">#2. Think About the Location<\/span><\/h3><p>One should consider where the sun will shine when choosing the pool location. The most advised is a spot on the property that receives full sun in the afternoon and late morning. One should also consider putting down hard-surfaced paving, a deck, or a well-kept grass lawn for sunbathing. A pool in the backyard surrounded by a garden brings humanity closer to nature.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-pool-safety\"><span id=\"3-pool-safety\">#3. Pool Safety<\/span><\/h3><p>A fence is a great way to increase safety around your pool area, and there are usually building requirements dictating how high the fence should be and what kind of self-closing gates should be used. Local building departments should provide information on specific safety requirements in your area. Most residential areas have restrictions on pool fencing with self-closing gates. These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.home-security.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home security<\/a> laws and restrictions work to keep children and pets from unsupervised access to the pool.<\/p><p>Before embarking on the pool-building journey, one should do extensive research. The best type of in-ground pool should provide home aesthetics and safety. It is important to remember that the installation and design of a pool play a vital role in the safety of your family and friends.<\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An in-ground pool is one of the luxurious backyard&#8217;s most enticing and exciting features.
