Fiberglass Pools

So you’re ready to buy a pool!  You can already envision it; the kids splashing and laughing in the cool relief that the water offers from these hot Oklahoma Summer days, you can see yourself lounging on the edge of the pool, a refreshing drink in one hand, trending beach read in the other, soaking up the rays for a nice even tan and you’re already planning all of those Summer cookouts, pool birthday parties and neighborhood get-togethers. But now the only thing holding you back from taking the plunge, are the different options available to you and the questions those invoke; what pool is best for your unique needs and vision for your backyard oasis? You’ve heard that fiberglass pools can be a great option, but now you’re wondering why. What benefits do they offer over other types of pools? What options do you have in terms of size, shape, depth and colors? Well, that is exactly what we are here for!

We believe that fiberglass pools are a great option, with many benefits and features that make them an advantageous and desirable choice for a wide variety of clients, all with unique needs and visions for their perfect pool dreamscape. An idea for some of these features include, spas, tanning ledges, benches and water features, such as cascades and bubblers! But you probably still have a few more questions, so allow us to answer those for you. 

Installation Time: The actual time for the installation process of fiberglass pools is relatively short and simple. From the beginning of actual construction to clean-up and the best part; swimming, clients can anticipate a timeframe of 2-6 weeks. (This is all provided that the weather is cooperative and no major obstacles are encountered.) Once contracts have been signed, proper permits have been obtained and excavation has been completed, the premanufactured shell of your desired fiberglass pool will be delivered on-site and “dropped” into the ground via a crane. After the pool is successfully installed, the steps that follow include plumbing and electrical hookup, backfilling, decking setup and cleanup. And you don’t need to worry about a thing! Our educated and experienced crew will be there for any questions or concerns you may have and will make sure that you are comfortable and satisfied every step of the way. 

Durability: When it comes to the lifespan of fiberglass pools, rest assured that they are a great option in addressing concerns such as durability and longevity. One amazing reason that we would recommend a fiberglass pool to a client is that they are weather resistant. This means that they can not only withstand the wear of UV rays, but they are also able to hold out against temperature changes, both hot and cold, which results in a much lower chance of significant damage to the pool. And because they are manufactured in one whole piece or shell, they are less likely to be vulnerable to cracks and leaks. This definitely sounds appealing, doesn’t it? With these specific qualities in mind, the average lifespan of a fiberglass pool is around 25 years! This can give our clients peace of mind in knowing fiberglass pools are an ideal choice when looking for a pool that shouldn’t need replacement or major repairs for many years and will be able to be utilized for family fun and gatherings on every hot Summer day again and again!

Low Maintenance: If you’re feeling intimidated by the commitment of the upkeep of a pool, you’re definitely not alone and a fiberglass pool just might be the one for you. Let us explain! Due to the non-pororous materials with which fiberglass pools are manufactured, they have a smooth, easy to clean surface that is resistant to algae growth and if well-maintained and cared for, this surface rarely requires resurfacing. Which, of course, means that more time, resources and energy can be dedicated to actually enjoying your pool!  Another advantageous benefit of fiberglass is that it may require treatment with far fewer chemicals than other pools, because the surface is smooth and resistant to algae, which also results in better cost efficiency. A homeowner’s favorite two words! Additionally, fiberglass pools are very well insulated making them able to maintain water temperatures, resulting in significantly less energy usage to keep them heated and lower energy bills for the homeowner. Another win for our clients!  In case you are wondering, as many clients are, fiberglass pools are compatible with both chlorine filtration systems and saltwater filtration systems, leaving that choice entirely up to your preference!

Design Options: One concern we have heard from clients in regards to fiberglass pools is that they are not as customizable as gunite pools, which can be both a pro and a con. While some clients would prefer to have more of a say in the placement of certain things such as steps and benches, many people also prefer not to be bombarded with a plethora of choices or decisions to be made, because it can be understandably overwhelming. If this is you, making the choice to go with a fiberglass pool has the potential to make the pool buying process altogether less stressful, while still leaving room for unique customization. Though it may seem at first that there are not many options with fiberglass pools when it comes to turning your ideal, dream pool into a reality, we want to assure you that our manufacturers do offer a comprehensive catalogue of options and features. Our fiberglass pools come in a variety of shapes, sizes, depths and colors with options for features such as tanning ledges, spas, diving boards, slides and water features in the form of cascades and bubblers.
