Is painting a pool deck a good idea?

• <div><p>If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.</p></div>

How long does it take to install an aboveground pool?

• <div><p>Aboveground pools take between one day to a few days to install, depending on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-above-ground-pool-sizes.htm">pool size</a> and type. Your project may take longer if you’re planning to complete other projects simultaneously, like building a deck around the pool. If your land is hilly or rocky, you’ll also need to budget time for the land preparation. Aboveground pools need to be installed on a level surface.</p></div>

How does the cost of a stock tank pool compare to in-ground pools?

• <div><p>A stock tank pool is far cheaper than an in-ground pool. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-pool.htm">Installing an inground pool costs</a> <b>$55,000</b> on average, while a stock tank pool costs around <b>$945</b> to install.</p></div>

Q: Are fiberglass pools cheaper than concrete pools?

• <div><p>When looking into <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-fiberglass-pools-better-concrete.htm">fiberglass vs. concrete pools</a>, you will notice a big price difference. A fiberglass pool costs $15,000 to $75,000, whereas a concrete pool costs $35,000 to $100,000. While concrete pools are customizable, fiberglass is faster to install and requires less maintenance. Additionally, you can expect to pay $25,000 to maintain a concrete pool over a ten-year span. On the other hand, a fiberglass pool only requires basic maintenance like testing water levels and cleaning.</p></div>

Q: How much water should a pool lose a day?

• <div><p>Your pool should only lose around 1/4 of an inch of water per day, give or take. More wind, sunlight, and heat will cause this number to increase, while rainy or cloudy days will decrease the amount of water that evaporates.</p></div>
