Underground vs Aboveground Pools: Costs and Comparisons 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.
