The construction method of a vinyl
liner pool is relatively simple. Once the hole has been excavated a
re-enforced concrete based in put in place. Then a double steel frame is
constructed in the shape of the finished pool, which is re-enforced with
concrete. It is then the durable, pre-printed vinyl is attached. The
pressure of the water within the swimming pool holds the durable
pre-printed vinyl in place. Though vinyl liners are quick and easy to
install there are a few drawbacks. The vinyl is prone to punctures and
tears and the exposure to UV light and chemicals can fade the material,
though this can be replaced quite simply.
