how long does an in ground pool last?

The house we are buying has a built in pool that is 26 years old with good maintenance. Are we ever going to have to replace the whole thing, or is maintaing it enough? I really know nothing about this stuff!

My parents had one put in when I was in the 5th grade. I'm in my late 30's now. Chat Icon

I think they've had to have it re-lined once and had to have some cracks fixed when it was re-lined.

It's a lot of work for them to maintain it now, because they are in their 60's and it rarely gets used since my sister and I no longer live there or nearby.

For a younger couple, you should be totally fine though (maintenance-wise).

It depends what kind of pool it is and how it was installed. Mine has poured concrete walls so all I have to do is replace a liner, gunite pools need to be resurfaced every so often. My neighbors have an inground that has metal walls and it completely collapsed in when we got a lot of rain 2 years ago. It was a fortune to repair. All depends...

Great question. I'd like to know more about this since we are in the process of installing one now. Ugh dig got delayed to WednesdayChat Icon
