Installing a fiberglass pool is remarkably straightforward when compared to vinyl liner and concrete pool installations. The single-piece fiberglass shell is easy to place in the ground and level for backfill, avoiding the complex construction of steel panels or the mess associated with pouring a shotcrete pool.
While initial cost is important, it should be viewed in the context of the pool’s lifetime ownership costs. Pool ownership involves ongoing expenses like chemicals, filters, and salt systems. In most cases, fiberglass pools prove to be more cost-effective over their lifespan when compared to vinyl and concrete pools.
Barrier Reef fiberglass pools provide a wide range of modern and traditional design components, including tanning ledges, safety rails, wrap-around seating, entry and exit steps, and fiberglass spas. These options cater to various design requirements and preferences.
All pools demand maintenance and cleaning, but when properly cared for, fiberglass pools can offer decades of enjoyment with lower maintenance needs compared to pools with vinyl liners. Concrete and vinyl liner pools often require replastering or replacement every 5-9 years, resulting in higher maintenance costs over time.

It’s available for steps, floors, and around the perimeter. Be sure to ask your Barrier Reef dealer to showcase the various options and layouts available.
Your fiberglass swimming pool can be installed in as little as 2 weeks, depending on various factors like weather, permits, and inspections. In contrast, a concrete pool may take as long as 3-5 months to complete. When you purchase a fiberglass swimming pool, the shell arrives on-site pre-formed, complete, and ready to be placed in the ground.
