Vinyl Liner Pools
Packaged pools, also known as vinyl liner pools, consist of multiple components, including wall panels, braces, steps and a vinyl liner, that are assembled together to create a pool. The two most popular materials for these components are steel and polymer. Packaged pools are typically “engineered,” meaning they are designed and produced to predefined standards in a controlled factory environment.
All components are designed to fit together. Steel packaged pools are generally less expensive than polymer pools; although other factors, such as decking and extra accessories, can add to the overall cost.
Below are some of the pros and cons to building a vinyl liner pool:
Pros:
- Easy to maintain
- Less expensive
- Variety of liner patterns available and soft to the touch
- Engineered to specific standards
- Repairs are typically quick and inexpensive
- Many shapes and design options available
Cons:
