What lasts longer, a fiberglass or concrete pool?

• <div><p>Concrete pools have the longest life span. As long as you properly maintain your concrete pool, you can expect it to last 50 to 100 years. That said, you will need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/resurfacing-pool-eliminates-cut-feet-cracks-and-lost-water.htm">resurface your concrete pool</a> as it ages. Fiberglass is durable, but fiberglass pools generally only last around 25 to 30 years. That said, some high-end fiberglass pools can last more than 50 years if they’re well-maintained. </p></div>

How thick should you pour concrete over existing concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should be at least 2 inches thick to maintain its stability and quality. Most concrete slabs fall between 4 and 6 inches thick, but you should be careful not to make the new slab too high or heavy. If you're considering a stamped concrete overlay, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-tips-hire-best-stamped-concrete-contractor.htm">hire an experienced stamped concrete contractor</a> to determine the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-thick-should-a-concrete-patio-be.htm">ideal concrete thickness</a>. </p></div>

Q: Are there eco-friendly concrete options?

• <div><p>Yes, including sustainable mixes and reflective surfaces to reduce heat absorption.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour concrete when it freezes at night?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to pour concrete if the temperatures are expected to dip below freezing at night, but you need to take some special precautions before you do. Most importantly, you need to make sure your concrete won&rsquo;t freeze, so the best thing to do is enclose the area and heat it. You should also make sure you&rsquo;re using cold-weather concrete that&rsquo;s designed for pouring in cold weather. Use accelerants to help speed up the curing process and avoid cold temperatures from resulting in weak concrete. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to grind concrete wet or dry?

• <div><p>For homeowners, it&rsquo;s better to dry grind concrete. Dry grinding is the method described above and can be done by experienced DIYers for smaller projects. Wet grinding requires a big volume of water, a way to collect the slurry created by the water and dust, and an environmentally-safe place to dispose of the slurry. In general, only professionals do wet grinding. </p></div>
