Swimming pool construction is finished with concrete surfacing, a vinyl liner, or a molded fiberglass. The structure is built with either wood, steel, polymer, or fiber reinforced composite. Wood structure uses pressure-treated wood structurally sound and rot resistant for long lasting durability.The steel structure is made from a galvanized beams and walls that resist rust and corrosion. The interior supported by the structure will be molded into place with a fast drying concrete surfacing, a custom designed vinyl liner, or a special molded fiberglass.

A custom construction is designed with any size and shape. A custom pool construction with design flexibility is made with concrete.Concrete allows for challenging construction for uneven grounds and unique space availability. Pools made with vinyl and fiberglass interiors use pre-molded shapes and sizes. Concrete pools are installed in the ground with a variety of shapes for Freeform, geometric, and L-shaped designs.

A decorative tile arrangement is set up above the water level.

The more common swimming pool construction uses a vinyl liner supported by galvanized steel or pressure treated wood.This construction has predetermined shape and has less design flexibility than concrete swimming pool construction. This construction is popular because it is less expensive.   Swimming pool construction materials cost less and the time for installation is shorter.  A vinyl lined pool supported by an outer skeleton of wood or steel can be installed complete in less than a week. Because vinyl pools are long lasting, swimming pool construction companies make a mixture of vinyl liner shapes to support more pool designs.   Vinyl liners are a special thermoplastic lasting up to twenty five years and are recyclable.    In hot climates, liners last about ten years.  A replacement can be installed in a couple of days. The external pool construction is long lasting when galvanized steel or pressure treated wood is used.
