Generally a vinyl lined pool is installed in MN due to the frost line. Heaving could theoretically push an entire fiberglass pool out of the ground. Also fiberglass pools are more limited in size thatn a lined pool, which are basically limited only by your imagination as liners can be custon fit for any pool if measurements are done correctly.

What is a vinyl lined inground pool?

An inground pool is typically lined with either gunite (concrete), fiberglass, or vinyl. Gunite and fiberglass are roughly the same cost, whereas vinyl is considerably cheaper.

Vinyl is also much easier to puncture or otherwise damage. That said, many people still prefer vinyl inground pools due to the lower cost.
