Longevity The average above ground pool will last 7-15 years before the structure gives out, although their liners will last 5-9 years before they have to be replaced. For an inground structure, the longevity really is contingent on the type of pool. For example, fiberglass should last well over 20 years. Vinyl pools should have a structure that lasts, but their liner needs to be replaced on average every 6-11 years. As for concrete, their structure should also last a long time, but keep in mind they need to be resurfaced every 9-13 years, which can get very, very expensive.
What is the life-span of an above ground pool? My pool is 8 years old, and needs a new liner. Trying to decide if I should put $500 into the pool by replacing the liner, or just buy a new pool? I hate to put $500 into it, then next year the entire pool needs replacing. This is your basic 24ft round pool, I think it is a Doughboy brand.
