After looking at dozens of brochures - you're right, CarlD, there's no such thing as a fiberglass pool that big. Score 1 for the vinyl liner.

By the way, I just realized I never said whether the pool we're looking for is inground or aboveground. It's inground so this thread is in the wrong place.

You're right, PoolDoc, community pools can be zoos; that's why we're getting our own despite the community pool being only 2 miles away. It's pretty nice though (or will be - it is in the process of getting rebuilt they're pretty close to being done) but we got spoiled by having our own (I can't float around in a tube with a beer at the town pool without getting arrested).

My original question was if any one out there has worked on or owned both a fiberglass and a vinyl liner which do they prefer?
