IT IS NOT ONLY NOT EASY IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.CONCRETE POOLS ARE A CONCRETE "TANK" AND GUNITE OR SOME SIMILAR MATERIAL USED AS A SUFACE COATING . THE TANK IS MADE FIRST OF STEEL REBARS THEN THE CONCRETE IS SHOT IN PLACE GIVING YOU A CONCRETE SHELL .TO DO THIS TO A VINYL POOL THE ONLY PART YOU COULD USE WOULD BE THE HOLE IN THE GRUOND THAT YOUR VINYL POOL IS SITTING IN.IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THEY CAN DO IT ...CLOSE YOUR CHECKBOOK AND WALK AWAY --THATS FROM SOMEONE WITH OVER 20 YRS IN THE BUSINESS.

IS IT EASY TO BUILD A GUNITE POOL OUT OF A LINER POOL SHELL?

A licensed swimming pool professional builder can build a new pool inside of your old shell, of course your new pool will be around 1-1.5 feet smaller. Count on demo costs with the old pool shell also. You have options with any kind of remodel job, another reason for hiring a professional with a license.

So is it easy - yes,yes, But only if your the licensed swimming pool professional or you just hired one. getapool.com take care good swimming

Easy? No way. As a professional pool builder that has shot gunite pool shells inside existing vinyl liner pools, I can tell you that the job is actually harder than building a pool from scratch. If your just going to shoot inside the existing hole the pool will end up being smaller as stated above and shallower as well to accommodate for the 6 inches of gunite that will be added. All of the existing returns have to be cut back and extended to allow for this, the main drain should be dug up and replaced with a gunite drain, and the skimmer should be cut out and replaced with a gunite skimmer. the deck should be cut back, but alternately coping can be installed to line back up with the existing deck. The deck will have to be cut out around the vinyl skimmer to make way for the gunite skimmer replacement, I have seen people not replace the skimmer but this leaves a good place for a future leak, I wouldn't recommend it. The plastic steps will have to be removed as well. You may want the bottom dug out so it can be made deeper and larger as the hopper area on most vinyl pools are small and tapered. It's a job to say the least, but it is possible. Cost wise it will probably run more than a gunite pool from scratch. The only things you are using over is the deck, the hole, and the Plumbing.For more information go to howtobuildaningroundpool.com

If you are tired of replacing your vinyl liners, why not check out fiberglass as an option. A new fiberglass surface can be applied to your pool, and you will get a much longer life out of it. You can read more at: http://www.advancedpoolcoatings.com

Can you replace coping on vinyl liner pool with stone?

Afraid not. Vinyl liner pools are built using "concrete receptor coping" into which the deck is poured. It also contains the "bead receptor" that the vinyl liner attaches to. Actually YES it can. You would want to do this during a liner replacement but it can be done. You would have to remove the concrete from around the perimeter of the pool, remove/ replace the "concrete receptor coping" with bead receiver, aluminum extrusion, form/pour a bond beam, then lay your stone. Not really an easy do it yourself job but it can be done.


Why is gel eyeliner better than liquid eyeliner?

No Gel Liner is better that liquid liner and pencil pencil you have to sharpen and it is hard to apply a neat straight line. Liquid liner smears easy and is hard to get off. Gel liner is perfect no sharpening or smears and neat fine line and is easy to get of with vasoline or soap and water. Hope this works for you!


Should there be a gap between the liner and pool bottom and side on a new inground pool?

There may be small gaps at the corners. Once water is put in the pool, the pressure will stretch the liner to fill these gaps. Since the water fill from the bottom upwards, any air "trapped" on the bottom will be forced out the top as well when the pool is filled. The water is in the pool, liner is rounded in the corners and their is approximately 1" space between the liner and bottom/side corner of the pool bottom.

What are HDPE T-Rib Liner Sheets?

HDPE T-Rib Liner Sheets are highly effective solutions for protecting concrete structures from corrosion and abrasion. HDPE stands for High-Density Polyethylene, a robust and flexible thermoplastic material known for its excellent resistance to chemicals, UV radiation, and impact. The "T-Rib" part of the name comes from the distinctive T-shaped ribs that run across the surface of the liner sheets. These ribs are crucial because they anchor the liner firmly to the concrete when it is cast in situ, preventing any movement or detachment over time. This secure attachment is vital in environments where the liner will be exposed to aggressive substances or mechanical wear. One of the primary applications of HDPE T-Rib Liner Sheets is in wastewater treatment plants, where they protect concrete tanks and channels from the corrosive effects of sewage and industrial effluents. They are also used in tunnels, water reservoirs, and other infrastructure projects where long-term durability and resistance to harsh conditions are required. HDPE T-Rib Liner Sheets are preferred because they extend the life of concrete structures by creating an impermeable barrier that prevents chemical attacks and minimizes maintenance needs. They are also easy to install and maintain, which adds to their practical benefits. In summary, HDPE T-Rib Liner Sheets are essential in construction and infrastructure projects, offering a durable, chemical-resistant lining solution that protects concrete structures from damage and ensures their longevity.

What are the pros and cons of an inground pool kit vs concrete?

I think you are asking about above-ground, versus a concrete inground. In ground:PROS:Nice looking, more durable/not very suceptable to damage or UV detioration (except for ground shift). Last many years (30+, if maintained well and in good soil) CONS: Expenseive to build. Expensive to repair. Permanent. Ground shifting, as with clay soils, cn cause structural damage. You are stuck with the design/style you have. Above ground:PROS: Cost less. Easy to put up. Easy to take down. Easy/inexpensive to get the latest style/features CONS: Some people consider them tacky compared to inground. More subject to damage and UV deterioration. Do not last very many years(3-5) I have inground gunite pool. I like the look of it, but if I were starting from scratch I would probably opt for an above-ground pool. == == Pros: don't have to deal with walls cracking, easier to install and cheaper, easier to clean since it has a smooth surface, quicker to install. Cons: can't let your animals swim on it for they might scratch the liner, can be subject to puncture and locating it could be hard.
