What you need to know about fiberglass pools
- A fiberglass swimming pool can be made into almost any shape or size you’d desire, but remember if you go beyond the “standard” designs you will pay for the option. A fiberglass pool will be modelled and delivered to your home in one piece — like an overly large bathtub.
- You need to know where you will place the fiberglass pool and what will need to be done/removed in your landscaping to accommodate it.
- Will your pool contractor have easy access to your yard in order to get the fiberglass pool into it?
- Decide what kinds of steps or seating you want added into the pool and it will be designed at the factory before the pool is delivered.
- You can add unique coping and decking to give your pool its unique look and feel.
- Add accessories such as lighting, fountains or even a hot tub in one end of the structure.
- Once you’ve chosen a fiberglass pool design, your pool contractor will excavate the area and deliver the pool. The electricity and plumbing will be run and you will likely be looking at around five days from start to finish for your project — not including adding the water and getting the chemicals correctly balanced.
- Fiberglass pools are popular because they are easy to keep clean and maintained. The smooth finish of a fiberglass pool means it is not prone to algae growth and the water pH levels remain more stable. You may save money on pool upkeep and maintenance when you own a fiberglass swimming pool.
Do your homework and weigh all of the pros and cons as they relate to the swimming pool building material before you make your dreams of pool ownership come true.
