Fiberglass pools: Cost and Customization
When comparing fiberglass pools vs concrete pools, knowing how each is constructed is ultimately what may determine homeowner’s choice.

Fiberglass swimming pools are casted from preset molds, limited both in size and design due to the restrictions of said mold. As the fiberglass pool is cast, custom options such as hot tubs and custom steps are eliminated due to aforesaid restrictions. Fiberglass pools have been recorded as developing warps during transit and even when setting into the ground, which may not be apparent until the pool is seated. Further expenses can crop up after heavy storms shift the sand backfill used to secure fiberglass pools, leading to bulges and expensive repair bills.
