From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/question4.html - If you are going to install your own swimming pool, it might be a good idea to consider a vinyl liner pool. Vinyl liner swimming pools might have somewhat of a poor reputation depending on where you are located geographically but in some areas, like cold climate areas in the northeast for example, vinyl liners are king. By this what I mean is vinyl liners outnumber any other kind of swimming pool at minimum 10 to 1 and in some areas 100 to 1. The advantage of a vinyl liner pool for a self-build is that there are not as many technical processes involved with the installation which will require you to sub-contract or bring in outside help. Some aspects of making a concrete pool, for example, is simply too much for the average do-it-yourself enthusiast and you need specialists - concrete specialists, tile specialists, etcetera. With a self-built vinyl liner swimming pool you have the highest chances for success and the least amount of stages that simply require that you bring in outside help. In fact, if you choose a smart design that lends itself well to being able to be self-installed (rectangular, no ledges, no vinyl-over-steel features, etc.) that would be the best for a do-it-yourself project because you are choosing a technical process that has a high likelihood of success. #SwimmingPoolSteve #diy #vinylpools #vinylliner ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R89kIE2Z5f8
