Backyard Interlocking Pool

Vinyl vs Fiberglass vs Concrete vs ICF

There are four main types of pools in Canada. Each has its own installation process, benefits, and maintenance requirements.

Vinyl pools are the most popular. They are constructed using a frame made of galvanized steel and concrete with a vinyl liner overtop. these pools can be customized with different colours, patterns, and shapes. they are simple to maintain with the right knowledge. With liner pools, you get the option to change the liner at your leisure, should you want to give your pool a facelift. Note that sharp objects can cause punctures in the liner.  

Fiberglass pools are the quickest and easiest to install. They come in a pre-formed shell with various models and features. Their gel coat makes them more durable against sharp objects since they cannot be punctured. This type of pool is also low maintenance, like a liner pool,  as it is non-porous and resistant to algae growth. 

Concrete pools are the most luxurious, most durable, and most customizable. They are the most expensive due to their building process, however, this is outweighed by their longevity and endless customization options, as they can be built in any shape or size. They also require more maintenance (including regular cleaning and resurfacing) than other types of pools, as they are susceptible to algae growth. 

Insulated concrete form (ICF) pools are insulated concrete pools in a nutshell. The efficiency of ICF pools is better than concrete and you have the option to use a liner, giving you the opportunity to facelift your pool in the future. These pools are relatively inexpensive compared to concrete pools, saving you both time and money on the construction process.

Pool Installation Cost Factors

There are four major factors that could affect the cost of your new pool. These factors include:

  1. Type of pool. Vinyl, fiberglass, concrete, and ICF pools all have different price ranges, which can be viewed in the chart (above).
  2. Size. The larger the pool, the more materials, transportation considerations, labour, and so on, need to be evaluated.
  3. Equipment Used. There are lower and higher-end equipment options that will affect the cost, like automation, lights, and water features.
  4. Accessibility. Depending on the size of your walkway and yard, it may be difficult to maneuver machines. If more back-and-forth trips are required, costs will be higher to compensate for added time and labour.

Considerations & Limiting Factors

There are a few factors that could impact the size of your pool, or your ability to install a pool, altogether.

  1. The size of your backyard. Your hardscape (decks, sports courts, turf) cannot cover 30 percent to 70 percent of your yard (depending).
  2. Trees. Big trees will likely require a permit to remove. Your permit submission may not be approved in all cases.
  3.  Accessibility. There are minimum requirements for the space surrounding the pool, which need to be followed.
  4. Budget. this is the most common constraint. We will maximize your pool and features to meet your needs and budget.

AHS | Pool Design Process

Now that you have decided to install a swimming pool, it is important to understand the process involved in designing your pool. This will help ensure that the entire process goes smoothly and that you end up with a pool of your dreams.

After deciding between the different types of pools; the first step in the design process is to determine the size and shape of your pool. This is an important decision as it will impact the overall look and feel of your pool and backyard. Once you have decided on the size and shape, we will help you select an appropriate location for your pool. It is important to consider factors such as sunlight exposure, soil type, grade, drainage, and municipal bylaws when selecting a location.

AHS | Pool Installation Process

Once you have selected a location, we will prepare the permit for approval. Once approved, the first critical step begins with excavation. This is typically a one-day process.

Upon the completion of the excavation process, our team will come in and begin building the pool. This is different for each pool but will require about a week to build.

Once built, the pool is ready to be backfilled and prepared for the final finishes inside. At this time, the pool equipment will be installed and prepared for turning the pool on. Final finishes can be a marbelite or vinyl liner. Once that is complete, the pool gets filled with water and turned on for water flow and water heating capabilities.

Don’t forget that you will need to maintain your custom swimming pool on a regular basis. This includes skimming the surface of the water to remove debris, checking the pH levels, and adding chemicals as needed. By following these steps, you can ensure that your pool will provide years of enjoyment.

Additional Features - Hot Tubs and Spas

There are many features you can add to your pool. You can add hot tubs, spas, water features, and lighting to enhance your outdoor experience.

Grabbing a drink, turning on the spa jets, and zoning out while listening to your waterfall is one of the best ways to relax. It is also great for promoting muscle recovery, and for entertaining your guests outdoors, even on chilly evenings.
