The most budget-friendly pool shapes are rectangles and ovals. These simple shapes are easier to plan out and install, which will decrease labor time and effort (therefore saving you a little extra money). Choosing a standard shape means you can enjoy your new pool without stretching your budget too far.

An underground pool liner costs between $1,000 and $2,500 for installation, and when you add material costs to that, it can bring the total to over $4,000. Vinyl liners waterproof your pool and need replacement every 10 years on average, ensuring your pool stays in great shape. Your pool installation pro can talk you through your liner options.

With proper care, swimming pools can last for decades. Concrete pools can last over 25 years but may need resurfacing every 10 years. Fiberglass pools often last 30 years or more. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs when problems come up help extend your pool's lifespan so that you can enjoy it for many years.

Installation time varies by pool type. Concrete pools can take three to six months to install due to their custom nature. Vinyl pools take four to eight weeks on average, and fiberglass pools are the quickest. Professionals can install a fiberglass pool in as little as two to four weeks.
