Pool liners vary significantly in cost depending on the material and thickness you choose, with thicker lining being more durable but increasing installation costs. Furthermore, your size impacts which type of liner will work best; larger pools require additional material which adds to overall project costs.

Vinyl pool liners are an extremely popular choice. Manufactured in large sheets that fit directly into a pool with only minor overlap at its edges, vinyl can come in an assortment of colors and patterns that resemble tile, rock or glass as well as those that sparkle like crystal stones. Mils measure thickness; thickness determines both durability and removal ease.

Vinyl liners offer many advantages over concrete pools, including their ability to withstand chemicals and harsh environmental conditions, easier cleaning than concrete pools and creating an additional safety barrier between swimmers and the water.

Beaded liners offer an alternative to vinyl liners; this type of liner fits easily into a groove or bead receiver installed into your pool foundation and makes installation simple; however, beaded liners tend to be less durable than their vinyl counterparts.

Ocean pools are public seawater swimming pools located along coastal areas that can withstand waves. Ocean pools have become very popular in Australia and particularly Sydney where there are over 35 pools.

Bondi Icebergs offers an enjoyable swimming experience in an idyllic environment, while Coogee and Bronte ocean pools are more casual, with free admission allowing locals who may feel intimidated by swimming in the surf to still take a refreshing dip. Ocean pools make great places to spend summer days while acting as tourist draws.
