Hi everyone...we're getting an in-ground pool in Michigan within a few months and we're just a little confused. We previously had an in-ground vinyl pool at our former home and absolutely loved it. Friends of ours have a fiberglass pool and it's very nice, but they've had some problems with rust (from their heater?) along the top of the fiberglass. Other friends of ours previously had gunite and it seemed like the kids were always stubbing their toes. So, I'm just not sure which way to go. My sister and cousin also have vinyl in-ground pools and they like theirs as much as we did. Are there advantages either way? I believe vinyl is probably less expensive, but there's also the expense of liner replacement down the road. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
