Why Choose a Liner Pool?
Cost-Effective Without Compromise
Liner pools typically have a lower initial cost than gunite pools, making them an attractive option for homeowners who want a fully customized inground pool while staying within a defined budget.
Faster Installation Timelines
Because liner pool installation does not require extended curing time, projects often move from excavation to swim-ready faster. That means less disruption and quicker enjoyment.
Design Flexibility
Modern liner pools offer extensive customization:
Freeform or geometric shapes
Multiple depth profiles
Built-in steps, benches, and tanning ledges
Wide selection of liner patterns and colors
You’re not locked into a cookie-cutter design.
Replacement Liners Are a Long-Term Advantage
Vinyl liners are replaceable—this is a feature, not a flaw. When it’s time for a refresh, you can update the look of your pool without rebuilding the structure. Homeowners appreciate the ability to modernize their pool over time without a full renovation.
Liner Pools vs. Other Pool Types
Liner Pools vs. Gunite Pools
Gunite pools offer unlimited customization and long lifespans, but they come with higher upfront costs, longer build timelines, and more surface maintenance. Liner pools provide many of the same design options with a more predictable budget and simpler long-term upkeep.
Liner Pools vs. Fiberglass Pools
Fiberglass pools install quickly but are limited to pre-manufactured shapes and sizes. Liner pools offer greater flexibility in layout and depth while still maintaining efficient installation timelines.
The right choice depends on your priorities—budget, timeline, customization, and maintenance expectations.

What Homeowners Say
Liner Pool FAQ
How long do liner pools last?
A properly built liner pool structure is designed for long-term use. The vinyl liner itself is a wear surface and typically lasts 7–12 years, depending on water chemistry, sun exposure, and overall care. The underlying pool walls, floor, and plumbing are built to remain in place well beyond the life of a single liner.
How often does a liner need to be replaced?
Most homeowners plan on replacing their liner every 10 years or so. Many homeowners actually see liner replacement as an advantage because it allows them to refresh the look of their pool with new colors or patterns without rebuilding the pool structure.
Are liner pools cheaper than gunite pools?
Yes, in most cases. Liner pools generally have a lower upfront cost than gunite pools and a faster installation timeline. Gunite pools offer maximum design freedom and longevity but come with higher initial investment and more intensive surface maintenance. Liner pools provide a balanced alternative for homeowners who want customization, durability, and predictable costs.
Do liner pools require more maintenance?
Not typically. Vinyl liners have a smooth, non-porous surface, which makes them comfortable and resistant to algae buildup. Standard water chemistry and routine care are still required, but liner pools do not require surface resurfacing or refinishing like some other pool types.
Can liner pools be customized?
Absolutely. Modern liner pools offer significant design flexibility, including custom shapes, multiple depths, built-in steps and benches, tanning ledges, and a wide range of liner patterns and colors. While there are some structural limitations compared to gunite, most homeowners are surprised by how customizable liner pools can be.
What happens if a liner gets damaged?
Small liner issues can often be repaired without full replacement. In the event a liner does need to be replaced, the process is far less disruptive than rebuilding a pool shell. This is one of the reasons liner pools remain a practical long-term option for many homeowners.
Do you offer financing for liner pool projects?
Yes. Custom Inground Pools partners with Lyon Financial, a trusted pool-financing specialist offering unsecured loans with fixed rates. Qualified homeowners may access financing options up to $200,000. We recommend starting with a consultation to define your project scope, then reviewing available financing options that align with your goals.
