Concrete Pools

For much of the 20th century, concrete pools were the norm. Most swimming pools in the earlier part of the century either belonged in the homes of the wealthy or at hotels, resorts and other commercial properties. Fiberglass pools which were introduced in the 50s, did revolutionize the industry, but concrete pools continued to be very popular. The biggest advantage of a concrete swimming pool is the flexibility. Fiberglass pools tend to be prefabricated, but a concrete pool can be especially designed to fit your space limitations, and land contours. This means that you can install a concrete pool on a thin patch of land, or design a pool that runs around your home.

Concrete pools are also long lasting. With the right kind of maintenance, these pools can last for years. The surface of a concrete pool is rough, and can prevent slipping when children use the pool. However, if you would rather not have the rough surface due to fears of scrapes and cuts, then you can have the surface of the pool covered with tile. The biggest disadvantage of concrete pools is their relatively high cost of maintenance. They are more susceptible to penetration by algae, and may need more chemicals to balance the pH level of water.

Even with their high maintenance costs and lengthy installation process, many home owners prefer to have a concrete pool in their yard. The possibility of experimenting with a pool design with as many numbers of curves as you desire, accented by water features and landscaping makes these pools the only choice for discerning home owners.
