INGROUND POOLS
In-ground pools typically
come in three varieties:
concrete (with various
finishes); vinyl-lined;
and fiberglass.

pools are more expensive than above-ground, but they
are also a permanent home improvement. They add aesthetic,
as well as intrinsic, value to your home. And if it
comes time to sell your house, an in-ground pool is
generally more appealing to potential buyers. Ingrounds
range from play pools with depths of 3-to-5 feet to
diving pools with deeper depths appropriate for
the divers in your family. Before you purchase an inground
pool, you need to think about how your family will use
it. Do they like to play a lot of water sports? Then
maybe a play pool with sport set-ups is the answer.
Do they like to swim laps? Perhaps a rectangular design
is best for you. Or do you have a combination of swimmers
and splashers?

How about an L-shaped pool
so everyone is happy? Thinking about usage and then designing
with those needs in mind is the key to building a pool that
your entire family will be happy with for years to come.
Okay, let's assume you've
decided how your family will use the pool and what your approximate
budget is. Now, let's talk about your primary options in an
inground pool.
