The Benefits of In ground Fiberglass Pools

By Chloe Gib


The construction of a home pool can use one of several different materials. In ground fiberglass pools are made of a hard, molded material instead of flexible vinyl lining or hard concrete. There are multiple advantages to them, compared to the other choices.

Installation for a vinyl or concrete pool can take weeks, or even months. While this is going on, access to your yard is limited, construction supplies are lying around, and people are wandering in and out. Ten years is a typical warranty on a concrete pool, but it is not uncommon to find 25 on a fiberglass pool. Vinyl linings usually only have warranties related to leakage of the lining, which come in variable lengths.

The maintenance requirements of this type of pool are limited. They don't need to be drained, even when it freezes, and cleaning and washing are done less frequently to maintain the same hygiene standards as a concrete or vinyl pool. There are fewer specialized washes requires, and the material itself comes coated with a gel that retards the growth of bacteria and algae.

Fiberglass pool prices represent far more of the total cost, since they need limited repair and maintenance. When you purchase one of these products, they are installed in a day or two, and come with long warranties. They also require limited maintenance, which means limited supplies need to be purchased. The time spent on these tasks is likewise reduced.

When you purchase fiberglass pool kits, you get exactly what you are shown in the pictures. A concrete or vinyl pool can vary in shape and aesthetic appeal depending on the skill of the installer. However, pre-formed, molded inserts only need to be placed appropriate into the right size hole to create a perfect result, every time.

Other benefits of this type of pool include the fact that it is compatible with salt water and the fact that it has a non-abrasive surface with no sharp edges. Salt water is becoming the preferred option for many people, but it can degrade other types of lining materials. Choose your desired model from a catalog, and get a wide variety of options including variable depth, built-in seating, and other features.

In ground fiberglass pools are the perfect alternative if you don't want a concrete pool. They have years of life and comprehensive warranties in many cases, and come in a wide variety of styles. They have a smooth and non-abrasive feel that concrete lacks, but are not slippery like vinyl. There are limited maintenance needs that are reflected in limited maintenance costs, and they are quick to install, often in a single day.
