    Thoughts on steel vs polymer walls for salt water pool

    I'm finally here to say we will be building our pool this spring! This will be a DIY kit from Pool Warehouse. 18x36 in ground. It appears they only offer 48" walls in steel. That height is our preference, but if corrosion is going to be an issue, we surely will go with the 42" polymer.

    Going to open house with inground pool. Things to look for?

    I will be looking at a home for sale with an in ground pool on Sunday. It is covered for the winter, unless they open it, but I doubt it. I'm in central PA. How will I know the condition of the pool and are there questions I should be asking the realtor/owner of home?

    Hey neighbor.? I'm in Harrisburg. We are looking to do a Pool Warehouse pool. Just wanted to know if you would do it yourself again. Worth the savings and hassle?

    My husband and I are looking into a Pool Warehouse self build next spring. How did it end up going? My apologies if posted elsewhere. I didn't see anything. Thank you for sharing the costs. Do you mind sharing the rest of the costs for electric/plumbing, etc.?

    Fiberglass Cost - Are these quotes typical?

    I am pricing for an IG pool. For fiberglass, my local well liked dealer has a sale right now on a 15.6 x 32 for $37K installed. No bells and whistles of course. For a vinyl IG, a 16x32 STARTED at $55K. I will be looking further into a fiberglass. The FB dealer has staff on hand and never...

    Hoping for inground/2020 Costs anyone?

    I spoke with 1 pool builder and got quoted $55K for a basic 16x32 in ground vinyl pool. So disappointing. I don't know if I can justify spending that much money!:(

    I am a previous above ground pool owner. Moved into new house 5 years ago and my husband and I miss our pool terribly. We are hoping to get an inground pool installed next year. I know this is a very generic question and many things add to the cost, but can anyone provide me with what the...
