Pools aren't actually made of vinyl, rather the liners can be made of vinyl. This allows for patterns that can perk up the walls and bottom of the pool.
You can get pool packages that include the vinyl liner and support walls. The walls are typically made of steel, fiberglass, aluminum, or pressure-treated wood. They are supported by a bracing system, unique to the manufacturer.
The hole is dug in much the same manner as with other pool installations. The ground is covered with sand or a similar material so the liner has a smooth surface on which to rest. After the liner is placed, coping is attached to the tops of the walls and holes are cut for the drains and skimmers. The openings are sealed to prevent leakage, and backfill is packed in behind the walls. The last step is to fill the pool and hook up its filtration equipment.
