What should I consider when deciding to build an in-ground pool?

• <div><p>There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.</p></div>

How can I prevent water from evaporating from the pool?

• <div><p>Evaporation causes up to 70% of outdoor pools’ energy losses, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. While you can’t completely prevent evaporation, different types of pool covers can help a lot. Pool enclosures, however, don’t do much to stop evaporation—and the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-swimming-pool-enclosure.htm">cost to build a pool enclosure</a> likely won’t tempt you to try.</p></div>

Q: Which additional home improvement projects can be undertaken concurrently with the installation of a fiberglass pool?

• <div><p>If you are installing a fiberglass pool, you may want to install or update your patio or deck at the same time to create a safe, comfortable place to sit and dry off or grab a bite to eat after swimming. You might also consider adding a hot tub to the mix, which costs $6,000 on average.</p></div>

Q: How much room do you need around a pool?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-choose-a-swimming-pool-design.htm">When designing your dream pool</a>, it's important to leave enough room for safe walkways, patios, and extras such as outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Your local building codes may specify the minimum space between your pool and your house, utility lines, and property line. In most cases, the area of the patio around the pool should be equal to or greater than the surface area of the pool.</p></div>

Q: What is the safest pool fence material?

• <div><p>Mesh and tempered glass are both very safe pool fencing options because they&rsquo;re difficult to climb. You might also want to consider installing a pool safety net, and always make sure your pool is maintained properly. You could even consider a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-swimming-pool-enclosure.htm">swimming pool enclosure</a> that surrounds the pool on all sides.</p></div>

They did not communicate all of the charges associated with our pool. Ended up costing us more than $1,500 for the opening of our pool when they originally gave us the price of $225. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.
