Free Form Swimming Pools are now Common Place
Once upon a time, the only way to get a unique swimming pool was to have it made of concrete (gunite) and spend a boat load of money. Free Form pools were exclusive to the rich and people living in Hollywood. With the time (2 months) cost of a concrete pool, many people are moving towards building vinyl liner free form pools.
Vinyl liner pools are more economical and the technology has improved to the point that building a free form pool is no longer a problem. Free Form pools take more time to build, but not much more than a standard pool. Penguin Pools of Milwaukee & Minneapolis can build a “standard” vinyl liner inground pool in roughly 3 days. In three days we will excavate the hole, build your pool, plumb it, set fixtures, and fill it with water. The construction of a free form pool takes roughly 5 days as the excavation has to be very precise and takes twice as long.
When you consider the time that it takes between building a concrete (gunite) and a vinyl liner free from pool, the choice is simple. Why spend the extra costs, upwards of $25,000 +, to build a concrete pool when you can do the same thing with a vinyl liner pool? Many people have extreme ideas and wants when it comes to their pool and backyard oasis, but those can easily get squashed with they see the price tag. Penguin Pools can build a vinyl liner free form pool for roughly $5,000 – $10,000 more than a standard pool.
No project is to big for us to build. Seems like everyone says “No project to small, No project to Big”, however we mean it when we say it. Penguin Pool’s engineers will construct your pool and build it to your specs, yet comply with local and national regulations. Anything from a scribbled napkin design or a blueprint from a landscaper, our engineers will design it to your specifications.
Take for example that Olympic diving pool we built in our customer’s back yard. It had to meet local ordinances, collegiate diving standards and federal regulations . . . all done as a vinyl liner pool. To do this same pool in concrete would’ve cost the home owner an additional $72,000!
Anything that you can envision, dream or fantasize can be done. Penguin Pools can add anything you like or want to see in your backyard, because there is nothing that a great pool that looks naked in your backyard. Swimming pools are made to be fun and look great, why not have both?
