Fiberglass Pool Advantages: • The gel coat surface of the fiberglass pool shell is nonporous. This inhibits the growth of algae and reduces the amount of sanitizing chemicals required to maintain the pool. • Most manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty against leakage. There is no vinyl liner to replace. • The gel coat surface of fiberglass pools is smooth to the touch. • Most fiberglass pool designs have seating and all have steps incorporated into the shell of the pool. • The shell is manufactured off site and delivered on a trailer. Since a big part of the work is done off site, the installation time is short. Disadvantages: • Because fiberglass pools are built from a mold, the consumer is limited to the shapes and sizes offered by the various fiberglass pool manufacturers. • Fiberglass pools are shipped via the road. Shipping restrictions limit the width of the fiberglass pool shell to 16′. • Many fiberglass pool manufacturers use colored finishes that do not match in the event that a repair is needed. • The lifetime warranty usually does not cover fading or cracking of the surface. • Fiberglass pools cost more than vinyl liner pools to build. • If the site has a major slope or ground water present, it may not be the best choice. • Cost: average of 30,000 Dimensions: average of about 12' width x 24' length
Vinyl-lined Advantages: • Vinyl liner pools have the lowest initial cost of any of the three types of in-ground pools. • There are no limitations of the length, width, and depth of vinyl liner pools. • The vinyl liner material is smooth to the touch. • Liner replacement is relatively quick and clean and can be completed in a day or two with out any heavy equipment. Disadvantages: • On average a vinyl liner will last between 7 and 10years at a replacement expense of $3,000-$5,000 including labor and materials. • While liners are made of durable material, sharp objects, pets, and patio furniture falling in the pool are all concerns. • If the site has a major slope or ground water present, a vinyl liner may not be the best choice. • Cost: about 18,000 Dimensions: 10’ by 24’
Concrete Advantages: • Concrete pools can be any size, shape, or style. There are almost no limits to what can be done. • With the proper engineering, a concrete pool can be build on the side of a hill or virtually anywhere. • Vanishing edges, beach entries, shallow lounging areas, etc. are all possible with a concrete pool. • Concrete pools can be integrated into a design with materials such as tile and stone to become a piece of landscape art. Disadvantages: • Concrete pools are typically the most expensive to install. Also, they may need some renovation every 10-20 years. This is usually more involved than the other types of pool repairs depending on the expense of the materials used. • Water care is very important to prevent staining or deterioration of the finish material. • Concrete pools typically take longest to install of the three choices • Cost: minumum of 25,000 Dimensions: 14’ by 25’
Silicon • Advantages: • Suitable for all weathers as well as elasticity and resilience, and can reduce the consumption of physical force and improve game results. • Different combination of colors can assure beautiful appearance. Not faded, dusted or softened by ultraviolet ray, ozone or acid rain but keep its vivid color for quite a long period. • Easy to install ( it will be used in 24 hours after we use the special adhesive on the condition of labour power and machine) • Maintain high quality in any season or under any temperature difference and be used immediately after rain, increasing service time and field utilization rate. • Disadvantages: • The material used for these courts can melt very easily • Out of all these courts silicon is the most expensive • Cost: 10,000 Dimensions: 84’ by 50’
PVC • Advantages: • Environment friendly: Made of PVC pure virgin material • High quality and longest service life: One-off scrape coating techniques. • Wear resistance, moisture proof, slide prevention, shock absorption, fashion and beautiful, etc. • Easy installation and maintenance. • Disadvantages: • More expensive than a asphalt court • Cost: $7per square meter Dimensions: 84' by 50'
Asphalt • Advantages: • Still remains as one of the most popular basketball courts because of its strength and durability • It can withstand harsh weather conditions • Disadvantages: • Unfortunately, asphalt will break down over time and can be prone to cracks, chips and other surface imperfections • Asphalt can also contribute to injuries, especially on falls where its unforgiving nature can lead to cuts, scrapes or worse • Cost: 4,000 Dimensions: 84’ by 50’
