One of the most exciting and fascinating parts of every fiberglass pool installation is the moment the pool shows up on the truck and is carried to the backyard. Crowds assemble, the cameras start flashing, and the kids all run to grab their bathing suits.
This crowd-pleasing process actually requires great skill and precision. The pools normally weigh anywhere from 1,500 to 3,500 pounds, and it is common to have access lanes to the backyard just a foot or two wider than the actual pool.
This video shows the process of unloading a fiberglass pool off of a tilted trailer and setting it into the hole.

River Pools® manufactures fiberglass pool shells and does not install pools. Pools are installed by locally owned and operated dealers and franchisees. The relationship between the dealers and franchisees to River Pools® is that of an independent contractor. River Pools Franchising LLC (Franchising) provides independently owned and operated River Pool franchisees with the right to market the River Pools brand of pool shells as a franchisee. Franchising does not manufacture pool shells. Due to the unprecedented and historic growth of the River Pools brand, this website contains an abundance of information that has been created over the last decade. Some of the content on this site may reflect prices, perspectives, processes, entities, and names that were relevant at the time but may not be as relevant today.
Consumers should consult their local installer (independent dealer or franchisee) for the most accurate and updated information based on the unique conditions of their property. Consumers should verify specifications with the installing dealer rather than relying on the information on this website, which is not intended to be a final specification.
