The Ease of a Fiberglass Pool Installation

Pre-manufactured Shell: Fiberglass pools come as a single, pre-fabricated shell that is manufactured in a controlled environment. This means that the pool is already shaped, waterproofed, and ready for installation upon delivery.

Shorter Installation Time: The installation of a fiberglass pool typically takes about 3-5 days.  Whereas a concrete pool can take several weeks to a few months to complete due to the need for curing time and multiple construction stages. Vinyl liner pools usually fall somewhere in between, often taking a few weeks.

Less Labor Intensive: The installation process for fiberglass pools is less labor-intensive. Once the excavation is complete, the pre-manufactured shell is simply lowered into place, leveled, and backfilled. For concrete and vinyl liner pools, there are more steps and more specialized labor required.

Consistent Quality: Since fiberglass pools are manufactured in a factory setting, they are subject to strict quality control measures. This ensures a consistent product compared to the onsite construction of concrete pools, where weather conditions and human error can impact quality. Vinyl liner pools also have variability in the installation quality depending on the installer’s expertise.

Reduced Site Disruption: The quick installation process of fiberglass pools means less disruption to your property. With concrete pools, the extended construction period can lead to prolonged disruption, noise, and mess. Vinyl pools, while quicker than concrete, still require more time and site preparation compared to fiberglass.

Durability: Fiberglass pools are 17 times stronger than concrete. Their flexibility, accommodating shifts in soil up to 12 inches, makes them suitable for any climate. Additionally, fiberglass pools become stronger with age and do not require major renovations such as resurfacing or liner replacement.

Safety: Fiberglass pools have a smooth finish. This means less skinned knees and toes. No coarse, rough surfaces to tear or snag swimsuits.

Immediate Use: Once a fiberglass pool is installed and filled with water, it can be used almost immediately. Concrete pools require a curing period for the concrete before the pool can be used, and vinyl pools need careful inspection and adjustment of the liner.

Less Maintenance: A fiberglass pool has a smooth non-porous surface making cleaning easier and reducing maintenance by 90%. It also does not react to water and will not affect your water chemistry. Plus a fiberglass pool uses 1/3 less chlorine than concrete or vinyl liner pools.
