A fiberglass pool is a pool with a factory-made monocoque. Fiberglass refers to a glass filament obtained through an industrial process. This material is used in a number of fields, including the manufacture of helicopters, boats, trains, etc., thanks to several of its virtues:
Installation of a fiberglass pool is faster than that of a concrete pool, which can take a minimum of 3 weeks. A pool installer of fiberglass will complete the installation in a single day.
In fact, the pool shell is prefabricated in the factory, so all that's left to do is prepare the ground. The pre-molded shell includes integrated steps (note that some companies have risers of varying heights), and several models feature benches that can even accommodate spa jets for optimum comfort.
Fiberglass is both rigid and flexible, allowing the pool to withstand the elements and temperature variations of the seasons. The fiberglass pool also withstands shocks and ground movements caused by freezing and thawing. The smooth appearance of fiberglass walls makes them easy to clean, but you need to be well advised to use the right product.
The fiberglass pool is currently the best type of in-ground pool. Custom designs are possible, and there are several models on the market. It blends in perfectly with your landscaping. Visit pool manufacturers offer a wide range of fiberglass pools (contemporary style, free-form).
Energy saving
Fiberglass retains heat well, so you can enjoy a longer bathing season than with concrete pools with liners. What's more, the insulating and watertight properties of fiberglass minimize heat loss, so you consume less gas and electricity.
No canvas to replace
Unlike other types, an in-ground fiberglass pool requires no liner and no paint. This means you don't have to drain the pool or replace the liner. This saves fiberglass pool owners time and money. Replacement costs vary according to pool size, but consumers should expect to pay between 5000$ and 10,000$ every 5 to 10 years for their liner replacement.

It's hard to put a price on landscaping work. There are many finishing materials that can be used around the unit. It's important to decide whether you want to landscape all around your in-ground pool or just 1, 2 or 3 sides. Permacon-type pavers, composite materials, treated wood and concrete can all be used.
The next step is to choose the type of fence: glass, steel, aluminum, composite and wood.
