A Fiberglass vs. Vinyl vs. Beach Pool: Which One Is Right for You?

An inground pool, beach pool style.

Is there a better way to relax with family and friends than a swimming pool in your backyard? We at Goodall® Pools can’t think of one, but then we might be biased.

But when it comes to choosing the right type of pool for your backyard, many factors need to be taken into consideration. Are you going with a fiberglass or vinyl inground pool, or do you plan to make a big splash with a hot new beach pool? There are some obvious differences and some nuanced differences. So, we’ve compiled some helpful information to help you make the best decision. Read on to learn more about which option is going to be best for you and your family, not to mention all the brand-new friends who will come around to swim.

What Are the Benefits of a Fiberglass Pool?

Fiberglass pools offer a variety of advantages, including easy maintenance, quick installation, and long-term cost savings. Fiberglass is also highly resilient and resistant to cracking or other damage caused by harsh weather conditions. 

With its sleek design and minimalist aesthetic, fiberglass can help create an attractive outdoor living space that will be the envy of your neighborhood.

Advantages of Vinyl Inground Pools

Vinyl inground pools are popular for their affordability, and for how versatile they are when it comes to size and shape – a plus if you’re designing a customized idyllic backyard with Goodall.

Vinyl is easier to install than some other types of pools built with materials such as concrete or gunite. Vinyl is also easier to maintain than concrete or gunite as well.

The Appeal Of Beach Pools

Beach pools are made of a sand-like composite material, creating a unique aesthetic and swimming experience in your backyard. Rest assured, there is no loose sand in Beach Pools to cause a mess in your home or around your yard! Beach pools add an abundance of fun and lots of luxury to any outdoor area. Beach pools are almost completely customizable in terms of size, shape, and features, including tanning ledges, cuddle coves, jets, and more. However, they typically max out at five feet deep, – great for doggie paddlers.

Factors To Consider When Choosing Your Pool Type

When deciding which type of construction material is right for you, it’s important to consider factors such as budget, maintenance requirements, and, especially,  desired aesthetic. It may also be beneficial to speak with professionals who can help guide you in choosing the best solution for your backyard paradise. That’s where Goodall (that’s us) comes in!
