So if you are considering an inground pool in Indiana, you need to know what an in ground pool costs in Indianapolis and Central Indiana. You need to know a lot more--- but cost is an important part of the pool buying decision. Obviously, the price depends on a few things, including site conditions, but with that said, most pools that Perma Pools sells fall within a range and there are some generalizations that can be made. These are estimates only for your convenience so don’t hold us to them.
Fiberglass Inground Pool Package Prices. We start with a pool package that generally ranges from $25-39,000, depending on size and design. The high end of that range is a large fiberglass 8’ deep pool and the low end of that range is a 12 x 24 sport pool. Midsize fiberglass pools will generally be in the $29-35,000 range. These packages include a full installation, 3’ of regular concrete with a concrete coping, an $800 electric allowance, a $300 permit allowance, an upgrade sanitation system and a number of other items.
Vinyl Liner Inground Pool Package Prices. We start with a pool package that generally ranges from $24-35,000, depending on size and design. The high end of that range is a very large exotic designed deep pool. A large 20 x 40 rectangle with steel stairs would cost about $33,000. A small vinyl liner pool might cost about $24,000 while midsize vinyl liner pools might be in the $27-29,000 range.

Gunite Inground Pool Prices. Gunite pools? Add 20-30% more depending on the quality and size of what you buy.
Cost of Automatic Pool Cover in Indiana. Indiana requires that you surround a pool with a fence OR install an automatic pool cover over your pool as a safety device. Automatic pool covers cost in the $7,000-$10,000 range, depending on pool size, track type and other options. A basic automatic cover for a 14x30 pool is about $7,000 and undertracks would add about $2,000. There are more upgrades available of course.
Pool Heater Prices. Gas heaters range from $1,900-3,000 depending on the size of the heater (which depends on the size of your pool and whether you get an automatic cover). Plus there is the cost of your gas hook up. Another type of pool heater is the electric heat pump which will generally adds about $1,500-2,500 more to your heater cost but which might save you money over the long haul.
Pool Concrete Costs; Other Types of Decking Costs. Regular gray concrete flatwork costs between $5.25/SF and $6.00/SF depending on quantity and prep. Generally, double that cost for stamped concrete or add $1.75/SF more for exposed aggregate concrete. Moving the concrete around to difficult places might involve a charge also as it costs to pump concrete or move it around in a wheelbarrow. Oh….there is another type of decking that costs more. For pavers and stone, generally expect to pay $14/SF-$30/SF.
WHEW! Is that all? The above describes our in ground pool packages and the key options. Even if you stop there, you also have the costs of possible additional electric, excess permit costs, costs associated with difficult site conditions, possible broken sidewalk/driveway costs and possible other additional costs and options. Our salesperson can estimate these costs for you when giving you an estimate and can help develop strategies to minimize or eliminate these costs.
SO THAT”S IT RIGHT? Well maybe. There is a world of tier 2 options including water features, special lighting, special sanitation devices, BB/VB sets, pool cleaners, spas, winter covers, custom pool features, pool furniture, tiki bars, outdoor kitchens and don’t forget landscaping etc.
So that adds up to..???? For a midsized nondiving vinyl liner inground pool, auto cover, heater, and 600 SF of gray concrete, maybe about $40,000 and $46,000 if that pool was in fiberglass.
