A fiberglass pool typically has the highest upfront cost but the lowest maintenance cost. They are quick to install, but because they're built from a mold the shape is not customizable (and they can't be wider than 16 feet).

Vinyl liner pools are typically the least expensive option, and that makes them excellent for anyone who wants to stick to a smaller budget.

The average lifespan of an in-ground pool is 20 to 30 years depending on the material used. This compares very favorably with above-ground pools. These generally last 8-15 years.

Concrete pools require the most maintenance. Vinyl pools come in second, and fiberglass needs the least maintenance of all. Keep in mind that the overall design and depth of fiberglass pools are limited, and renovating your pool is more difficult if it's made of fiberglass.
