A backyard pool is an extraordinary addition to your home. Pools provide staycation venues, offer a multi-purpose workout facility, and set the stage for family time. A swimming pool is a structure designed to hold water to enable swimming or other leisure activities. Pools can be built into the ground or built above ground. There are many pool options.

Above ground pools are the easier options to set up, you simply unfold it, set up the PVC frame, install the three-ply tear-resistant liner, and fill the pool. Above ground pools are inexpensive and can last for years when properly maintained.

Vinyl inground pools are very flexible and cannot crack like a concrete pool. A vinyl liner makes all surfaces of your pool smooth. Because of the flexibility with the steel walls, a vinyl pool offers unlimited design options, sizes, and shapes for your backyard. A vinyl pool may be less expensive than a fiberglass pool or concrete pool.

A popular choice of an inground pool is a gunite swimming pool because it is highly durable and it can be created in just about any shape. Gunite pools use a rebar framework that is sprayed over with a concrete and sand mixture. Gunite is exceedingly durable, so swimming pools made of this substance are built to last. The versatility of gunite swimming pools means more than the ability to create an unlimited array of shapes.

Fiberglass pools come in almost any size and shape imaginable. They are molded pools that are installed in your yard in one piece. Like gunite pools, fiberglass pools can be heated to extend the swimming season and can be installed with fiber optic lights for night swimming.

If you live in a smaller home or don't have a particularly big yard, a plunge pool could work for you. A plunge pool is merely a highly-compact swimming pool.
