Greetings all.
First I want to thank the forum for being here. It really is comforting to see that there is some help out there for us that are clueless.
We are wanting an inground pool. My initial thought was to got to fiberglass as I though they are the least maintenance and the most cost effective in the long run. I know the cost is more on the upfront but I thought that they are less expensive over all by what I've read on the WWW. Most of my info is from pool sellers.
But then I get told by a builder that the fiberglass pools have to be resealed in 7-10 years and this would obviously cost more than a new liner if I were to go with a vinyl pool.
On the other hand I'm told that vinyl pool structures only last 20-25 years and then have to be replaced.
So I thought I would come here and ask the folks that have lived with them. Hopefully there is some that have had both and I can learn from their experience.
So if given the choice which would you own,, fiberglass or vinyl?
Thank you.
