What is a Vinyl Liner Pool?
Vinyl liner pools are specially engineered to deliver maximum quality and flexible designs to fit within most pool budgets. Vinyl liner inground pools are custom made and constructed with durable, long-lasting materials. They can be installed faster than other pool types and are built to withstand factors that can cause wear and tear to a pool like sunlight, water and chemicals. Thanks to the modular vinyl liner wall system, prospective and existing pool owners have the option to design an almost custom pool.
Because vinyl liner pools can be customized, they’re a popular choice for homeowners. You can choose from a number of shapes, sizes, liner patterns and features to create your own design and add custom features and add-ons like pool steps to create a truly unique backyard experience.
Unlike other pool types, vinyl liner swimming pools can be designed to fit into virtually any type of backyard. If you have a narrow space or an irregularly-shaped backyard, you can still build your dream pool.
Vinyl-lined pools are the most common type of swimming pool, and for good reason. While fiberglass pools have their benefits, vinyl liners offer a number of advantages for the discerning pool buyer. If you’re considering installing an inground pool in your backyard, here are a few reasons a vinyl liner pool should be at the top of your list, including some common pros and cons.
Cardinal’s steel pool wall panels are made from the finest North American-sourced materials. Our manufacturing processes and computer design ensure that every panel is consistent and accurate every time, guaranteeing a perfect fit and easy assembly on the job site. Steel wall panels are made of 14-gauge galvanized steel and are engineered precisely for seamless installation.
For extra strength where it counts, the wide top and bottom flanges are mitered at each corner to join the strength of the vertical side flanges. The horizontal and vertical flanges are then united by our unique toggle-locking system to join the two together. No welding is needed, therefore the integral protection of the galvanization is completely preserved.
What is ZAM? Cardinal is proud to offer ZAM® 115– the most effective non-corrosive coating for steel panels in the industry. ZAM® is a hot-dip coated steel sheet that has a layer of Zinc, 6% Aluminum, and 2% Magnesium. The effects of magnesium and aluminum together allow our ZAM® coated steel panels to have excellent corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, and formability.
How does it work? Al and Mg in the coating layer of ZAM® combine to form a fine, tightly adhered zinc-based protective film on its surface as time passes. This protective film suppresses corrosion of the ZAM® coating.
Why is it important? ZAM® offers superior protection against corrosion on Salt Generator Pools, up to 5x’s more effective than standard galvanization. It also offers increased protection when servicing areas with a high water table or acidic ground conditions. Customization of walls is still achievable, as sheet steel can be bent without the coating cracking on the edges. Cardinal ZAM® coated steel is covered by a lifetime, 1-time transferable warranty.

Vinyl Liner Pools Are the Most Cost-Effective Choice
There are few types of pools to compare, vinyl-liner, fiberglass and concrete. While they all have their own advantages and disadvantages, vinyl liner pools are one of the most economical choices to choose from. With concrete being costly in both installation and maintenance, fiberglass ringing in second place over concrete, due to less labor to install pool and no need for resurfacing, vinyl-liners remain at the top. Although a replacement, and repair of the liner is a long term project, vinyl liner pools are overall the budget-friendly option.
Like any pool, the ultimate cost will be factored in with walls, pumps, filtration systems, maintenance needs, type of pool water, and special features or permits. However, a vinyl liner pool is more customizable than its counterparts with shape, size, and color – making your pool fit your budget.
Vinyl Means Lower Maintenance
While all pools require a level of maintenance, vinyl lined pools don’t require as much as their concrete or fiberglass competitors. Vinyl is a nonporous surface, which means it requires less chemicals. This smooth surface makes it difficult for contaminants such as algae to take hold and wreak havoc on the pool, and with proper pool care, can be prevented. These liners are extremely durable, and if well-maintained will last many years, but will need replacement or repair. However, cost comparisons have included replacing a liner up to 6-7k less than other maintenance such as resurfacing a concrete pool during repairs.
In addition- Vinyl’s steel or polymer shell are less vulnerable to freezing/thawing cycles compared to concrete or fiberglass in those colder climate regions, which also can lower the long term costs of your decision.
How Long do Vinyl Liners Last?
The answer depends on various factors like the amount of sunlight the pool is exposed to; how much wear-and-tear the pool sustains; and of course, the level of care and maintenance you put into the pool’s upkeep over the years. With regular routine maintenance, vinyl pool liners can last for up to 10 years before they need to be replaced, though some may have slightly shorter or longer lifespans.
