| Typical costs: | - Installing an aboveground pool can cost $1,500-$5,000; for in-ground estimated costs are $7,000-$16,000 for a vinyl-lined model, $15,000-$25,000 for a fiberglass shell and $17,000-$45,000 for concrete or gunite. However, custom designs can run prices much higher.
What should be included: | - Aboveground pools are relatively easy to install by following the manufacturer's instructions; in-ground ones require excavating, plumbing and much more. This Old House uses photos to show the steps used to create an $80,000 custom concrete in-ground pool.
- BettersHomesandGardens.com presents on overview of the various types of pools as well as a slide show of poolside pavilions that could be included in your project.

| Material: vinyl/aluminum | Type of Pool: above ground round |
| Sq Ft of Pool: 52\" x 30 |
Had installed over a previous pool area. Was charged for leveling, although I didn't think it needed it. Electric was already installed. Do not skimp on care. Very hard to return to swimming condition. Do not allow to completely drain or liner will shrink and be unuseable. No deck so stairs was interesting. Otherwise cost effective and easy to care for. |
