What are the pros and cons of converting a vinyl lined pool to a gunite or concrete type in the Texas area?

The in-ground pools are prefabricated. The bodies are made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic. This is an alternative to vinyl-lined, gunite and poured concrete pools.

All day long. Concrete pools have real tile instead of the fake liner tile look. You can update a concrete pool later on as styles change: with vinyl it's final.

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. But, custom designs can run prices much higher.

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. With the lower price comes less durability, as vinyl lining has to be replaced every 8-10 years or so, whereas the other two can last for decades. Vinyl is also much easier to puncture or otherwise damage. That said, many people still prefer vinyl inground pools due to the…

u can NOT convert one into another.... ud have to rip it out and start over... either gunite or fiberglass

If you are talkin about a vinyl lined pool the answer is yes you can.

If it was working ok before you lined it and you have no problems removing the liner you should have no problems.

That last answer was not very helpful. Installing an aboveground pool can cost $1,500-$5,000; for in-ground $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. source: costhelper.com

Gunite is a type of cement mix used in the walls of the pool, whereas a vinyl lining is just a layer on the walls, generally used for waterproofing purposes. So, either of them will do, but my personal opinion is that using a lining is always better (hence vinyl lined pools are very common in England and other countries)

The average cost of installing a medium-sized concrete/gunite in-ground pool is roughly $30,000 (in 2004) with no frills (such as waterfalls, flagstone, inlaid tiles, etc.). That depends on whether you are willing to take the task on yourself or whether you'd prefer to hire someone. We saved thousands on ours by doing it ourselves - thanks, The Windsor-Browns You can also save alot on the cost by going with a vinyl lined inground pool.

lined canals and unlined canals both are man made. The difference is that lined canal are lined with concrete, bricks or stone. purpose to do it :- 1) to avoid seepage of water through soil ,where soil is made of sand. The percolation rate of water to that type of soil is much more. When there is a scarcity of water and we don't want wastage of water at any cost.

"Another View" There are benefits of each, design and feature wise there are some things you can do with gunite that you can't do with steel. Although some steel manufacturers are getting more sophisticated with regards to in pool stairs and other features. Mostly in my professional opinion it depends on where you are. In the northern climates where we see harsh winters and ground freezing, gunite can and will crack, causing sometimes expensive repairs…

Refractory concrete is made from moter and brick, it is lined inside the crematory on both sides, rear, and front (bricked door) and if created by B&L Cremation systems it has a hot hearth system for improved fuel efficieny and environment friendly emission.

Evaporation. A significant, but lesser amount, is also lost to percolation in the transfer ditches, unless they are lined with something impermeable, like concrete.

Kraft Lined Strawboard is what it stands for. It is a fibrous raw material utilized in production of Moulded Pulp Products. Brown kraft grades include for example: corrugating plant waste; old corrugated containers (OCC); KLS (kraft lined strawboard is waste-based OCC containing >33 wt. % kraft linerboard); used kraft sacks; and converting waste.

I've got the same question except my pool is 20 years old. It's 18' by 38'. Bill I did this about 2 years ago. It was more than I wanted to do but well worth it. The vinyl liner was needing replaced and I originally wanted a fibreglass coat put in. When we emptied the pool we discovered that the floor of the pool was not built for a gunite frame. So we had to…

Reactors are typically made from concrete,steel and lined with lead, the combination of these materials and built into a strong shape(bullet shaped or spherical shaped etc..) make up a nuclear reactor, these materials also absorb the radiation produced inside the nuclear reactor(lead absorbs gamma radiation and concrete absorbs neutron radiation).

Expensive. The dig is probably one of the least expensive parts of the inground pool process. Essentially when you pull the vynal out that is what you have. a hole. You can plan to have the gunite shot in, replumbing, coping and decking. Then the diamon brite plaster is shot at the end. In most markets you can count on approximate costs of over $20,000.

These days, it's a long, entirely artificial canal like a really long slanting and curvy half-pipe lined with ice. Mostly made with concrete although wood or metal sections can be used.

Galahs nest in tree hollows or cavities lined with leaves. They prefer eucalyptus trees, but have been observed nesting in rock cavities and cliff crevices, and even vertical concrete pipes in urban areas.

Some of this is opinion (thus subjective) and some depends on some variables like location and what features you want. In areas that have winter and freezing weather typically vinyl lined pools tend to be more popular as the freezing can cause concrete to crack over a few season and cause costly repairs. There are some options, like vanishing edges, that are easier (and cheaper) to do with a concrete pool that make that a…

I believe you can. I had an estimate to fibreglass line my pool which was previously lined with vinyl. The tech came out and said they would take the liner out, prepare the surface and coat. There was never any talk of excavating the pool. QUESTION about the above. WHO gave you the estimate, and did you have it done?

Depends on the type of pool, i.e. inground or above ground pool. * My brother has had an inground vinyl lined pool for at least twenty years. He ives in an area which is southwest of New Orleans. That pool has survived more pool parties, hurricane parties, followed by hurricanes themselves (including Katrina) without a tear nor a leak. My above ground pool is a Doughboy and it has the side walls concreted into the…

You can't, I have never heard of any one converting any type of pool. The pool has to be taken out and then you can rebuild a new pool or fill in and put new pool in a new spot cost wise it is not feasable.

If the pond is plastic lined or fibreglass all you need to do is make sure the plants are growing OK and then don't overstock. If the pond is made of concrete you will need to check the pH of the water and if it is higher than around pH7.3 you may have to empty and refill it a few times. Adding some acid to the water can help to speed up fixing the concrete…
