What Are the True Costs of Building and Owning an In-Ground Swimming Pool?
Ever wondered about the cost of installing a stunning in-ground pool in your backyard? Apart from the initial installation, what ongoing expenses should you expect to keep it well-maintained?
This article explores the comprehensive costs of building and maintaining an in-ground pool. For clarity, the discussion is divided into four parts, with Part 1 presented here. You can find the remaining sections at the link provided below.
General Pool Costs
The installation cost of a new in-ground swimming pool varies significantly. You might spend between $10,000 to $12,000 for a modest-sized pool, while more luxurious options could exceed six figures. We'll focus on more affordable options.
Types of Pools
The initial determinant of pool cost is its type. Typically, you’ll choose from one of three types:
1. Steel-walled, vinyl-lined pool
2. Fiberglass pool
3. Concrete or gunite pool
Other Pool Factors to Consider
Another important factor is the pool's size and shape. Larger pools naturally cost more, and unique shapes can add to the expense. For example, an 18 ft x 36 ft rectangle may cost you as much as a 16 ft x 32 ft kidney-shaped design.
In the following sections, we'll focus on the cost of a vinyl-lined pool. However, keep in mind that fiberglass and gunite pools are competitively priced depending on your location. In some areas, gunite pools might even be cheaper due to the number of builders available.
Certain environments might demand a gunite pool. Our focus on vinyl pools stems from the company I worked with, which specialized in them, and my personal experience with a vinyl pool at home.
Major Costs of Pool Installation
A significant portion of pool construction cost comes from labor. Although materials for gunite pools (cement mixture, rebar, piping) are often cheaper than those for vinyl-lined pools, gunite pools require more labor. Vinyl pool kits, which include steel walls, framing, steps, and liners, may cost more in materials. However, they are quicker and easier for builders to install.
