Inground Pool Types
Gunite, Fiberglass and Vinyl Liner Pools: Which Is Right for You?
Most West Tennessee pool builders in our directory build one or more of three inground pool types. The right choice depends on your yard, design goals, budget, maintenance preferences and how soon you want to swim.
Gunite (Concrete) Pools
A gunite pool is built on site by spraying concrete over a steel-reinforced frame, which allows nearly any shape, depth, bench or infinity edge. It is the most customizable option and is common for luxury and large backyard projects.
Keep in mind: builds generally take longer than fiberglass, and the interior finish (plaster or tile) is resurfaced over the life of the pool. One local builder cites 3 to 6 months for concrete pools; another says most inground pools in Jackson take 8 to 16 weeks from design approval to completion. Confirm the schedule in your contract.

Fiberglass Pools
A fiberglass pool arrives as a single pre-formed shell that is craned into an excavated hole, then plumbed, backfilled and decked. The smooth gel-coat surface resists algae and typically needs fewer chemicals, and installation is usually faster than gunite.
Keep in mind: shapes and sizes are limited to the manufacturer's models, and the shell must be deliverable to your site. Local builders describe fiberglass installs in weeks rather than months, weather permitting (one cites 4 to 6 weeks; another says three to six). Confirm timing with your builder.

Vinyl Liner Pools
Vinyl liner pools use a custom-fabricated wall panel and a vinyl liner over a sand or concrete base. They offer many shapes and sizes, a smooth, non-porous surface, and are often chosen to keep upfront cost down.
Keep in mind: the liner is replaced periodically, and many local builders also offer liner replacement. Ask about liner pattern, thickness and warranty before you sign.

Pool Installation
Inground Pool Installation: What to Expect From Start to Finish
Every builder runs projects a little differently, but most new pool construction follows these stages. Ask your builder for its own schedule and which steps it handles itself versus through subcontractors.
- Consultation and site evaluationThe builder visits your property, reviews access, slope, utilities and soil, and talks through your goals and budget.
- Design and pool selectionYou choose the pool type, shape, depth, steps, ledges and features. Some builders provide 3D designs; fiberglass builders have you select a shell model.
- Written estimate and contractReview scope, materials, equipment brands, payment milestones, change-order rules and warranties. Many builders require a deposit to hold your install date.
- Permits and utility planningPool permits, inspections, and electrical and gas work are required in most areas. Confirm who pulls permits and schedules inspections.
- Layout and excavationThe pool is staked out and excavated. Fiberglass shells are delivered and set once the hole is ready.
- Structure, plumbing and electricalGunite and liner pools get their steel, walls or panels, plumbing and electrical. Fiberglass pools are set level, plumbed and backfilled.
- Decking, finish and equipmentCoping, decking, plaster or liner installation, tile, lighting, heater and automation are completed and equipment is started up.
- Final inspection and orientationAfter inspection, the builder fills the pool, balances the water and walks you through operation, maintenance and warranty details.
For reference, one fiberglass specialist in our directory publishes a five-step process: consultation and site evaluation, model selection, contract and deposit, excavation and shell delivery, then installation with plumbing, filtration hookup and backfill. Another builder states that every build includes custom design, full excavation, a steel-reinforced shell, plumbing, electrical and equipment startup.
