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.
Now the above numbers are the height of the actual poolâs wall and NOT the real depth of the water. An above ground pool has a top structure and a skimmer and the water level is not meant to reach the very top of its structure. In general then, the water level will be about six inches below the top of the pool. So, the average water level is going to range from 3â,6â to 4â deep.
