Fiberglass pools are smooth, lower-maintenance, and long-lasting, using fewer chemicals than concrete. They also don't require any surface replacement like vinyl liner pools do. The trade-off is fewer shape and size options compared to concrete and vinyl, but you’ll save thousands in upkeep over time.

Most fiberglass pool installations take 3–6 weeks, which is much faster than concrete pools. Weather and project scope can add time, but fiberglass can be the quickest inground pool option.

Fiberglass pools are extremely durable, with reports of shells lasting 50+ years.  The gelcoat surface resists algae and fading and doesn’t require resurfacing like concrete. With proper maintenance, you can expect many, many years of enjoyment with family and friends.
