In-Ground Pools in St. Louis

In-Ground Pool Types St. Louis Loves

If you want to get the most out of your outdoor living space in St. Louis, in-ground pools are a must-have. There are lots of options available out there, but the main three you’ll want to consider are concrete, vinyl-lined, and fiberglass:

Concrete In-Ground Pools for St. Louis

Concrete in-ground pools in St. Louis are often made using a special kind of concrete, known as shotcrete or gunite. The frames for these pools are constructed out of rebar, and then concrete is added to create a solid foundation.

Concrete pools are extremely long-lasting and are highly customizable, though they do require regular maintenance to keep in good condition. It’s also ideal to have an extended patio or pad around the pool to give it some extra support.

Vinyl-Lined In-Ground Pools for St. Louis

Vinyl-lined in-ground pools in St. Louis are very similar to concrete in that they are also built on top of a concrete foundation. The difference is (as the name suggests) that a vinyl lining is applied to the pool’s surface after being installed.

These are also very customizable and are typically a bit more affordable than a full-concrete in-ground pool. They also require less maintenance, but don’t tend to last quite as long.

Fiberglass In-Ground Pools for St. Louis

Fiberglass in-ground pools in Franklin County are a significantly different entity than their concrete and vinyl-lined counterparts. There is no concrete foundation at all for most fiberglass in-ground pools, which are pre-made and then installed on a property.

Because they are pre-made, fiberglass in-ground pools are the least customizable option, but they are also generally less expensive and time-consuming to install. They also don’t typically require much maintenance, and can stand up to shifting grounds well.

Second Nature’s St. Louis In-Ground Pool Installation Process

At Second Nature, we’re with you every step of the way on your pool construction. Here are the services we can offer to set up your in-ground pool in Franklin County or anywhere else in the St. Louis area:

Prep Work

Before laying the foundation for your in-ground pool, it’s important to prepare the area and ensure that the installation will be safe and sturdy. This includes checking the area before digging, evaluating the site to make sure the pool will be safe, and checking on any local St. Louis in-ground swimming pool regulations.

Excavation

Now that we have plans and approval, it’s time to get to work. We’ll start by excavating the site where the pool will end up. If needed, we can build retaining walls or other hardscapes to provide additional support to the ground around the pool.

Installation

The pool can finally be installed now that the ground is clear. The exact process depends on the in-ground pool type you go with: Concrete pools need to be framed and poured, and vinyl liner pools will also require an additional layer on top. Meanwhile, fiberglass pools are premade and need to be transported to the location.

Testing

Your in-ground pool is finally complete! We’ll do some final testing to make sure that there aren’t any cracks or other imperfections. This is important to make sure that your new pool can stand up to the St. Louis weather and elements.
