Concrete Pools v Fibreglass Pools - Which Is Cheaper To Maintain? - 1 views

  •  
    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.
