With a pool, it is vitally important to work out what the overall cost of your pool will be over 10, 15 and 20 years as the difference will be thousands rather than hundreds of dollars. The lifetime financial cost of a concrete pool or a vinyl liner pool is higher than the initial cost to install the pool. The lifetime cost in your time (or paying for someone else's time) is highest for a concrete pool and lowest for a fibreglass pool.

Fibreglass pools kits are cheaper than concrete generally. However you and your neighbour could buy exactly the same inground or above ground swimming pool kits and your pool costs $10,000 more. Click the link to find out why.

Buying a fibreglass pool kit with an assisted installation through a licenced installer will generally save you at least $5,000, and up to $20,000, for a medium sized pool compared to full installation through a pool builder.

Fibreglass v concrete v vinyl liner swimming pool shells is a common question. Whether a DIY pool or not, there are big differences in warranties and cost.
