Swimming Pool Maintenance,  Service and Repair
Solano County, San Francisco North Bay, Ca. USA

Construction methods for private pools vary greatly. The main types of in-ground pools are concrete, vinyl liner, and fiberglass.

Above-ground pools (also called "on-ground pools") are usually cheaper to build. They are especially popular in places where ground freezing makes excavation difficult and threatens damage to the pool structure. Inexpensive temporary PVC pools can be bought in supermarkets and taken down after summer. They are used mostly outdoors in yards, are typically shallow, and often their sides are inflated with air to stay rigid. When finished, the water and air can be let out and this type of pool can be folded up for convenient storage. They are regarded in the swimming pool industry as "splasher" pools intended for cooling off and amusing toddlers and children, not for swimming.
