Steel Wall Vinyl Liner Pool Installation in Pennsylvania
Custom In-ground Pools Built & Installed by In-House Teams from PA to FL
Desmond Pools & Spas has been selling and installing steel wall vinyl liner pools since 2004. Our in-house pool craftsmen work directly with our sales team, so your project stays on schedule, and nothing gets lost between the planning table and the job site. Scott leads our crew, and many of our new clients come through neighbor referrals. These are homeowners who’ve already been through the process with us and sent someone they care about our way.
Vinyl liner pools combine a lower upfront cost with a high degree of customization. You choose the shape, the size, and the liner pattern. The non-porous vinyl surface can also require fewer chemicals than concrete, which can help keep ongoing maintenance costs down. For homeowners who want a true inground pool without the price of concrete or fiberglass, steel wall vinyl liner pool installation is one of the most practical options available.

Advantages of Megna Steel Wall Vinyl Liner Pools
Pennsylvania and North Carolina’s climates put real demands on a pool: sub-zero winters, UV-heavy summers, and freeze-thaw cycles that stress materials season after season. The Megna vinyl liners we install are engineered specifically for that kind of long-term use. A clear topcoat protects the print pattern from abrasion and soil adhesion, and the vinyl is rated to survive temperatures down to -20 degrees F without cracking, which matters here.
What separates a Megna liner from a standard product comes down to fabrication. Every liner is custom-designed using CAD to the exact specifications of your pool, then cut with a patented rotary cutting machine for a precise fit. Megna uses high-frequency molecular welding to seal every liner. This is a process with over 50 years of industry use that produces a bond stronger than the surrounding material itself. The steel wall panels are 14-gauge galvanized North American steel with clinch-lock technology, assembled without welds in the panel construction for rust resistance that holds up over time.
The material advantages are measurable:
- Resists tearing, puncturing, and fracturing under pressure
- Reduced cracking at low temperatures, rated to -20°F
- Minimized UV degradation with a protective clear topcoat
- Reduced fungus and algae growth on the non-porous surface
- Minimized chemical bleaching
- High-frequency molecular weld produces a seal stronger than the liner material itself
- CAD-designed to your exact pool specifications, cut with a patented rotary cutting machine
Megna Pools: The Manufacturer Behind the Product
We install steel wall vinyl liner pools from Megna Pools, one of the largest fabricators of inground steel pool panels, kits, and vinyl swimming pool liners in the industry. Megna was established in 2004 by pool industry professionals, each with over 20 years of experience at the time of founding. Every Megna product is custom-made by craftsmen averaging over 30 years in the swimming pool industry.
Megna offers three liner series: the Premier Series (thicker than a standard 20 mil liner at no added cost), the 30ga Series (the thickest and longest-lasting option), and Mix n Match (12 tile patterns matched to 7 wall and floor combinations). Across all three lines, Megna offers one of the widest selections of vinyl liner fashions available. This means the pool you plan is the pool you get, down to the visual details.
What’s Included in the Base Package
Every vinyl liner pool installation that we complete is built around a fully itemized base package. There are no vague line items. Every Hayward component carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty when installed by Desmond Pools & Spas. That applies to the filter, pump, chlorinator, and light. The plumbing carries a 1-year warranty with our installation. Before the liner goes in, we hand-trowel a vermiculite and Portland cement base across both the shallow and deep sections. This method has been used in vinyl liner pool construction for over 30 years and cushions the liner, helping it hold its shape underfoot.
The base package includes:
- Vinyl liner pattern choice
- Pool excavation
- Concrete pad or pavers for pool plumbing system
- Hayward Filter – Sand (Hayward – 3-year warranty with Desmond Pools & Spas install)
- Hayward Pump – Variable Speed (Hayward – 3-year warranty with Desmond Pools & Spas install)
- Hayward In-Line Chlorinator (Hayward – 3-year warranty with Desmond Pools & Spas install)
- Hayward Light (Hayward – 3-year warranty with Desmond Pools & Spas install)
- Returns: 2 to 3 (size dictates the number of returns)
- Skimmer: 1
- Plumbing including flexible pipe (Desmond Pools & Spas – 1-year warranty with install)
- Built with 14-gauge-thick steel for style and shape
- Concrete collar continuously poured to lock walls
- Hand-troweled vermiculite pool base under the liner: vermiculite mixed with Portland cement provides a durable, protective bottom in both shallow and deep sections
- Coping: standard aluminum painted white (required if you don’t cantilever the edge of the pool deck)
- Completely set and backfilled
- Grade and rough rake yard upon completion
- Safety fencing during construction
- Maintenance care package (pole, hose, vacuum head, skimmer head, brush head, and water test strips)
- Manufacturer’s pool warranty
What’s Not in the Base Package
We’re upfront about scope. The items below aren’t included in the base package, and each one is handled directly by you or by a separate contractor you hire and pay. Knowing this before the project starts can remove one of the most common sources of budget surprises.
- Pool Chemicals: Pool chemicals must be added to bring the pool to pool-neutral balance after fill. Desmond Pools & Spas can supply standard chemicals at additional cost.
- Concrete Work: Desmond Pools & Spas doesn’t perform or subcontract concrete work. Concrete is priced and paid directly to a concrete contractor you arrange. Pool concrete standard is 3 feet, or more if you prefer a wider surround.
- Pool Water Fill: Desmond Pools & Spas doesn’t perform or subcontract water fill. City water typically requires 1 to 2 truckloads to set the liner. Well water requires trucking in the full fill. Water fill is priced and paid directly to a water company.
- Electrical Work: Electrical work isn’t performed or subcontracted by Desmond Pools & Spas. All electrical is priced and paid directly to a licensed electrical contractor you select.
- Gas Lines: Natural gas or propane heater lines aren’t part of our scope. Contact a licensed gas installer or your local gas company for that portion of the project.
- Pool Permitting: Permitting is the homeowner’s responsibility. Municipalities vary in their requirements. Contact your local township or borough office before breaking ground. Inspections are coordinated by the contractor once permits are in place.
- Pool Fencing: Fencing beyond the safety fencing installed during construction isn’t subcontracted by Desmond Pools & Spas. Pennsylvania’s Uniform Construction Code requires a permanent enclosure around inground pools. Your local zoning office can confirm any additional requirements specific to your property.
All prices listed are estimates, not exact prices.

What Our Customers Are Saying
-
My family has been using Desmond Pools since moving to our house over five years ago! Scott and his team have always been very helpful answering any questions we had about our pool and spa. They have also helped us with opening and closing our pool every year. I appreciate the professionalism and their willingness to go above and beyond to help their customers. Last year they installed an entire new custom liner for our pool and it looks awesome. We definitely would recommend them to anyone interested in inLiz Yrock
-
Our family just got a pool installed by Desmond Pool and Spas and all I can say is wow!! With the current pandemic and everyone in the world inquiring about installing a pool, Desmond was able to remarkably provide outstanding customer service and a phenomenal product! Desmond made the whole process so easy and accommodating. Their recommendations were spot on…sales engineer (Josh) provided me with a different perspective that my family ultimately decided on. As I reflect on my original plan, I am extremelyBrandon Youngkin
-
From start to finish Scott made the process easy and enjoyable. We debated for many years about putting a pool in and after calling Scott in for a consultation the decision to go ahead was an easy one. Now we can’t wait for this coming spring and summer. Everyone Scott used; Mike Devers (electrician) and Rick (Creative Concrete), were as professional, skilled, and courteous as Scott and the crew from Desmond Pools & Spas. Our pictures from start to almost finished; we are still finishing up the outdoor bar,Donald Marano

We wanted to get rid our old above ground pool, approximately 30 ft by 16 ft, and a hot tub. I was so amazed at how efficient Desmond Pools & Spas were in doing the demolition. A fair amount of garbage was thrown out, but they left the area neat. They know exactly what they’re doing. The demolition was quickly but carefully done. I’m glad I went with them!Anonymous
-
We purchased a spa from Desmond pools and spas. Our first meeting with Scott we had a ton of questions. He answered all of them, if we had doubts he reassured us, he explained everything in detail. We couldn’t be happier with the whole transaction from start to finish, Scott and his employees have been great!! I would recommend this company to friends and family. Anyone looking for exceptional service should stop by and see them!Larry And Debbie Leith

Scott and Staff – We wanted to let you know how happy we are with our Caldera Spa. We also want to mention how pleased we are with you and your staff. Our buying experience was (and continues to be) a very pleasant one! We appreciate the time you spent waiting for the crane to place the tub on our deck, waiting for the tub to fill (well water is a painfully slow process!) and then explaining all of the tub’s feature to us. We will definitely recommend Desmond Pools to our friends! Thanks again!Brian And Debbie Troast
