Transform your backyard with a versatile and budget‑friendly vinyl liner pool from Pools of Fun. Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek rectangle, a fun free‑form shape or something custom in between, our vinyl liner pools offer endless possibilities without compromising on quality. Serving Indianapolis and surrounding communities since 1981, we combine craftsmanship with personal service to bring your vision to life.
A vinyl liner pool is constructed with a reinforced steel or polymer frame and finished with a durable vinyl membrane that forms the pool’s interior surface. This membrane is custom‑measured to your pool’s shape and secured to the coping at the waterline.
Vinyl liner pools provide a smooth, non‑abrasive surface that’s gentle on skin and feet and, unlike concrete pools, there’s no plaster to resurface. The flexibility of vinyl liners allows for virtually any shape or size, making them an ideal choice for homeowners who want a tailored design without the higher price tag of concrete.
Vinyl liner pools typically have a lower upfront cost compared to concrete and fiberglass, allowing you to maximize your budget with extra features like tanning ledges, benches and lighting.

The smooth vinyl surface feels comfortable underfoot and is gentle on swimsuits, making it a great choice for families with kids.
Vinyl liner pools can often be installed more quickly than concrete pools. Once the site is prepared and walls are set, the liner is installed and filled with water in a matter of days.
When it’s time to update your pool, replacing the liner offers an easy way to refresh the look without major reconstruction.
At Pools of Fun, we work closely with you to create a vinyl liner pool that suits both your lifestyle and your backyard’s layout. Popular design options include:
Ideal for natural landscaping, free‑form designs blend seamlessly into gardens and patios.
Perfect for lap swimming and a modern aesthetic; add a diving board or deep end for extra fun.
Incorporate wide steps, splash pads or shallow play areas for younger swimmers.
Add built‑in seating and ledges for relaxation and sunbathing.
Choose from a range of tile and interior patterns—from subtle blues to bold mosaics—to reflect your personal style.
Our in‑house design team will provide 3‑D renderings so you can visualize your pool before construction begins.
Building a vinyl liner pool involves several steps, and our experienced crews handle everything:
01
We meet at your home to discuss your vision, assess the site and design your custom pool.
02
Our team excavates the pool area and assembles the steel or polymer wall system, ensuring strength and durability.
03
We install the plumbing, filtration, skimmer and return lines, and run electrical for lighting and equipment.
04
A smooth, hand‑trowelled concrete or vermiculite base is created to support the liner and eliminate rough spots.
05
Your custom liner is installed, vacuum‑sealed to the walls and base, and secured at the coping.
06
The pool structure is backfilled, and your chosen decking—whether concrete, pavers or stone—is installed around the perimeter.
07
We fill the pool, balance the water and walk you through equipment operation and care so you can start swimming immediately.
Most vinyl liner pool projects in Indiana take between 6–10 weeks, depending on weather and complexity.
Vinyl liner pools are relatively easy to maintain. Because the surface is smooth and non‑porous, algae have fewer places to cling, reducing the amount of brushing required. You’ll still need to test and balance water chemistry, clean the skimmer baskets and filter, and vacuum as needed. One unique aspect of vinyl liner pools is that the liner will eventually need replacement—typically every 8–12 years, depending on usage, water chemistry and sun exposure. When it’s time to update, we’ll help you choose a new liner pattern and handle the replacement swiftly. Pools of Fun offers weekly maintenance packages, seasonal openings and closings, and a full inventory of chemicals and equipment to keep your pool looking and operating its best.
