Types of Inground Pools We Build

Inground pool installation involves placing prefabricated fiberglass pools or constructing vinyl and concrete pools on-site. These options are popular for property owners seeking standard-shaped pools. Vinyl-lined and fiberglass pools are often more cost-effective compared to custom concrete pools.

Vinyl-Liner Inground Pools

Vinyl-liner pools are built using steel wall panels or poured concrete walls covered with a vinyl liner available in various colors and styles. Their customizable nature makes them a great choice, though the liner will need periodic replacement depending on maintenance.

Fiberglass Inground Pools

Fiberglass pools are durable, lightweight, and come in various sizes. They are installed as a single piece, making them the fastest installation option. However, they are limited to pre-made shapes and styles available from manufacturers.

Concrete Inground Pool Construction

Concrete pools are the most durable and customizable option. Supported by a rebar framework, the concrete shell can be shaped into any form, from freeform to geometric designs. The interior can be finished with plaster, pebble, quartz, or glass beads, with various tile options for added visual appeal. Concrete pools typically take longer to build and are more expensive than fiberglass and vinyl pools.

Our Inground Pool Installation and Construction Process

The pool-building process varies based on the project details, including the pool type, site layout, and local regulations.

Generally, our process includes:

  • Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation, surveying your site, and presenting recommendations. Our team will answer your questions and help you evaluate the pros and cons of each pool type.
  • Site Preparation: Site work and plumbing are essential for all inground pools. We level and excavate the site as needed and lay any necessary plumbing before starting construction or installation.
  • Pool Installation: The installation process varies by pool type. For fiberglass pools, the prefabricated shell is lowered into the ground. Concrete pools involve creating a rebar framework and pouring concrete. Vinyl-lined pools require installing the vinyl lining over the wall panels. Concrete pools take around ten days to cure before installation is complete.
  • Filling and Balancing: Finally, your pool will be filled with water, and we’ll ensure the chemical levels are balanced for safe swimming.

Pool Installation and Construction by Type

  • Vinyl-Liner Inground Pools: Our crew shapes the cavity with a wall panel system and carves the bottom for a gradual descent to the deep end. The pool floor is topped with sand, vermiculite, or grout, then smoothed. The vinyl liner is unfurled, placed inside the pool, and secured along the top of the wall panels. An industrial vacuum removes any wrinkles.
  • Fiberglass Pools: After digging the hole, we lay a gravel bed for stability. The fiberglass pool is delivered on a flatbed trailer and installed with plumbing and filtration equipment. The pool is then backfilled with gravel and secured with rebar footing.
  • Concrete Pools: Steel rebar is arranged in a grid pattern to support the concrete shell. A mixture of cement, sand, and water (shotcrete) is sprayed over the rebar and smoothed. Once cured, coping, tile, and patio are installed. The pool’s interior is finished with a plaster, quartz, or pebble material.

Imagine your backyard transformed with a beautiful, functional swimming pool. At ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Chattanooga, our skilled technicians are ready to make your inground pool dreams a reality. From initial consultation to annual maintenance, we’re with you every step of the way.

How long does the pool installation process take?

The duration of the pool installation process depends on various factors, including the type of pool, complexity of the design, and any unforeseen issues that may arise. Here’s a general breakdown:

In-Ground Pools:

  • Concrete Pools: These take the longest to install due to their customization and construction process. On average, it can take anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks, but more complex designs can extend this timeline.
  • Fiberglass Pools: These are quicker to install since the shell is pre-made and delivered to the site. Installation usually takes about 3 to 6 weeks.
  • Vinyl Liner Pools: These take a moderate amount of time to install, generally between 4 to 8 weeks.

Above-Ground Pools:

  • Basic Installations: Simple above-ground pools can be installed relatively quickly, often within a few days to a week.
  • More Complex Setups: If the installation involves additional features like decking or landscaping, the process can take a few weeks.

Factors Affecting Installation Time:

  • Permits and Approvals: Obtaining the necessary permits can add a few days to a few weeks to the timeline.
  • Weather Conditions: Inclement weather can delay construction, especially for in-ground pools.
  • Site Preparation: The condition of the installation site can impact the timeline. Extensive grading or excavation work may be required.
  • Customization and Features: Adding custom features such as waterfalls, slides, lighting, or intricate landscaping can extend the installation period.

Overall Timeline:

In summary, the pool installation process can take anywhere from a few days for basic above-ground pools to several months for custom in-ground pools. It's important to discuss the expected timeline with ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Chattanooga, considering your specific project details.

Commonly Asked Questions

How does the pool installation process work in Chattanooga, TN?

The pool installation process in Chattanooga, TN, begins with a thorough consultation to understand your needs and site conditions. This is followed by site preparation, which includes leveling and excavating the area and laying necessary plumbing. The installation process varies by pool type: fiberglass pools involve lowering a pre-fabricated shell into the ground, concrete pools require creating a rebar framework and pouring concrete, and vinyl-liner pools involve installing the liner over wall panels. Finally, the pool is filled with water, and chemical levels are balanced for safe swimming.

What should I consider when choosing a vinyl-liner pool?

Vinyl-liner pools are a cost-effective option that offers a good balance between customization and affordability. They are constructed using steel wall panels or poured concrete walls covered with a vinyl liner, which can be replaced periodically. The liners come in various colors and styles, allowing for some level of customization. However, the liner will need to be replaced every 5 to 10 years, depending on usage and maintenance. Vinyl-liner pools are generally quicker to install than concrete pools but may take longer than fiberglass pools.

How do fiberglass pools compare to other types of pools?

Fiberglass pools are known for their durability and quick installation times. Unlike concrete pools, which can take several weeks to months to complete, fiberglass pools are pre-fabricated and can be installed in as little as 3 to 6 weeks. They are also less prone to algae growth due to their smooth surface, making them easier to maintain. However, they are limited to pre-made shapes and sizes, which may not offer the same level of customization as concrete pools. Despite this, their low maintenance and quick installation make them a popular choice.
