Inground Fiberglass Pools Are The Perfect Option

By Angel Dudley


More and more people are now having their very own backyard pool installed. They want to have a place to cool off in the summer and also get some exercise. Home owners have many different options to choose from and inground fiberglass pools are now some of the most popular choices. There are many reasons to account for this new trend, including low maintenance, excellent pricing and variety.

For many years fiber glass was not the top pick for pool owners. Most people opted for the more traditional liners or concrete. Yet in the past few years an increasing number of clients are deciding to in stall a beautiful fiberglass pool. Probably the most time consuming part of the process is choosing a design. With so many great plans to look at it will take a lot of thought and consideration to make that important final decision.

A fiberglass pool is quite easy to install. The company representative and home owner should work together to choose the very best site for the new pool. It is a good idea to find a spot that enjoys fun sun in the summer months. This can help to keep the water warm and save on heating costs. It is also important to locate the pool away from any trees, to avoid the mess and also to protect the pool should a tree come down in a storm.

The installation company can arrange for a big machine to dig the necessary hole. This must be supervised by the company to make sure the width and depth match the specifications of the pool. The size of the pool depends on the size of the available space. Even those in the city with only a very small yard will be able to find a pool to fit their needs. Those with more space may want to install a bigger pool. There are so many models to choose from. Some have the traditional eight foot deep end for diving. Others have a consistent four feet depth that are perfect for those families with small children.

The beautifully smooth finish of the pool is another reason they are becoming so popular. Clients can see for themselves just how nice their finished pool will be. This is in contrast to materials like concrete that are very rough. They can result in many rubs and scratches, especially if they are used every day. A liner pool also runs the risk of being ripped. The owners will then have to deal with a costly replacement.

With traditional pools having stairs build in usually means additional costs. Yet a fiberglass pool has the steps included. They can also be built in interesting shapes that really look great. These are options that are just not available with any of the other styles. The pools are available in sizes up to forty four feet long and fifteen feet wide. A deep end is optional and at the discretion of the home owner.

The installation process usually takes only a few days, as the pool is made at the factory and shipped to the home on a flat bed trailer. Machines are used to dig the hole and the pool is gently set in place. Large quantities of water should be standing by to fill the pool. Workmen can then back fill and get everything set perfectly.

Inground fiberglass pools are the perfect option for any back yard retreat. They come in such a variety of shapes and sizes there is sure to be something to suit every yard and budget. Even a small inner city space is enough to install one of these delightful pools.
