Convert Vinyl Liner Pool To Gunite

I know this is an older post but within the last two years i converted my vinyl liner pool to a gunite pool.

Convert vinyl liner pool to gunite.

Can a vinyl liner pool be converted into a gunite pool. What does it cost to convert a liner pool to gunite. I usually describe the process of converting a vinyl pool to a concrete pool as costing the same as building a new concrete pool plus the cost of removing an old vinyl liner pool. In essence a vinyl liner lasts about.

Vinyl liner pools have been popular for many years because they are the least expensive way to build a swimming pool. Unfortunately even the best vinyl liner only has a life span of 5 7 years and that s if you re very careful with it. For an average size pool most homeowners will pay an average of 4 000 to convert a vinyl liner pool to a gunite pool because you are not paying to dig the hole for the pool to be installed. It seems to me i could pull out the liner and the walls of the vinyl pool and lay rebar and start spraying gunite.

As long as the vinyl liner pool is inground it can be converted. Cut about a 1 ft border around the pool and lay your new coping. Rolled wall foam is cut in strips and attached to the walls. As much as a home owner might hope to keep the costs of the conversion down essentially the only potential for cost savings is on the dig itself.

An adhesive works well for this step. I am extremely pleased with my pool and feel it was well worth the change. During the pool conversion you will attach a pad between the liner and the gunite walls. The above commenters are correct it will cost you at least the same amount as building a new pool.

If just want to change your pool completely you have a couple of other options. With this option you can shallow or deepen the pool. Use your current pluming for drain and skimmers and electrical for light. Many people end up having to replace the liner every couple of years.

But you ll probably have to remove all of the vinyl pool elements until you. Last but not least you can just change out the liner to give you another 10 to 15 years.
