How much does an inground pool cost?
Here are things that you need to consider when you are trying to determine the cost of an inground swimming pool.
- The size of it. The size of your pool will be one of the biggest factors in cost as will…
- The construction material of your pool. Gunite aka concrete is the most expensive, but most durable. A fiberglass pool is the second level in price while a vinyl liner pool is the least expensive option but is also the most prone to damage.
- How deep do you want the pool? Do you want a deep end and a shallow end? This will add to the price of excavation as well as the construction materials.
- Where do you want the pool located? Determine the location for the pool and how much landscaping will be required for the project. Also, the area of the country in which you live will determine the cost of the pool.
- Are you looking for a custom shape or custom-designed pool? This can add to the cost, but if you have the budget and if you want to have a uniquely designed pool, it will add to the overall cost.
