Why is a steel wall pool better than a concrete wall pool?

Answer 1

All depends on what you are looking for and how much you have to spend. Concrete pools are usually considered the "high-end" pool but installation takes a long time and maintenance and repair are costly. Steel pools, or I'm assuming you're referring the vinyl liner pools, are a good, cost efficient option. Though, if you want to extend the life span of your pool, check out the other building materials used for vinyl liner pools.. such as Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials.

Answer 2

1. Steel walls will allow for expansion and contraction in temperature changes.

2. Concrete walls are more likely to have rough edges that may, in time, wear holes or cause tears in the liner.

Umm...concrete wall pools don't usually have liners. You either plaster the pool then paint over the plaster, or tile the inside.

A steel wall pool (although you should get a polymer wall pool instead--steel will rust in a below-ground application even though it's galvanized; polymer can't rust) is less expensive than a concrete pool

Steel-wall and polymer-wall pools are less expensive to install. A concrete pool is made from Gunite--a sprayed-on concrete. Liner pools come as panels on pallets, and you bolt the panels together.
