Fibreglass Pools Wellington
Wellington is known for its hot summers, and if you want to beat the heat and relax, what better way to do that other than enjoying a swim in your pool? Having your very own pool in your home and skipping the hassle of taking your family to the community plan is great. But installing a swimming pool is not easy. At least it’s what everyone believes.
But, the truth is that installing your own swimming pool in your backyard doesn’t have to be painstaking. As long as you understand what you want and what your options are, we can make the process a lot easier for you. There are several different options you can choose from for your backyard pool. One of the best options, especially for a first-time swimming pool owner, is a fibreglass pool. But, what makes it such a great choice. Read on to find out.
What is a fibreglass pool?
Before we get into the ins and outs of a fibreglass pool, let’s start by understanding what it is. It is a one-piece pool that comes pre-built by the manufacturer. When it was first launched, these pools were made using different plugs and patterns. Then, it transformed into a master mould. In simple terms, it is just a single-piece swimming pool that comes pre-built from the mould. Once they are built, they are shipped to your home, where a professional will install them. Even though it is named fibreglass, it is not always made of fibreglass material. In fact, they have multiple layers, where each one adds more support and strength to the pool. All these layers come together to create a tough, flexible shell, which will eventually become your pool.
Fibreglass pools are available in different shapes. It can take the form of circles, rectangles, or amoebic shapes. Depending on your taste, you have a ton of options to choose from. You can also opt for a pool that combines different shapes and comes with inbuilt steps and seats.
Durability of a fibreglass pool
Thanks to their shell, fibreglass pools are durable, which is why they also have low-maintenance requirements. As mentioned above, they are built using several layers that are fused together to add extra support and strength to the pool. Thanks to the sturdy shell of the fibreglass pool, it offers resistance to chemical absorption and water that ordinarily damages concrete pools. Also, unlike vinyl pools, fibreglass pools don’t require a lot of repairs and re-coating. This also means that you won’t be worrying about cracking or puncturing the gel coating of the pool.
The resistance and strength offered by the shell increase the lifespan of the fibreglass pool. In fact, if you remain on top of its maintenance, it can easily last for about 25 hours. That’s over two decades of fun you will be able to have with your friends and family members.
Installing the fibreglass pool
As we have already mentioned before, fibreglass pools come pre-built from the manufacturer, using your area’s measurements. They will be delivered prefabricated and straight to your door. Thanks to this building process, these pools have one of the fastest installation times.
Now, if you opt for concrete pools, you will have to wait for months before you have a complete pool as the entire building and installation process takes place in your backyard. Also, there can be other factors that delay the process, such as weather. Once you have placed the order for your fibreglass pool, you will have a faster turnaround. The average installation time for a fibreglass pool installation is three to six weeks.
After the pool has been delivered, we will fill the gaps around the pool, fill the pool, and finish the styling and landscaping around the pool quickly. All you will have to do is sit and enjoy your new fibreglass pool.
Cost of a fibreglass pool
Many people, especially the ones on a tight budget, believe that a fibreglass pool is out of their options because of its high cost. However, this might be because you have a shady salesman telling you to opt for a cheap and poorly-made pool that you can get at a fraction of the fibreglass pool’s cost. However, the former option comes with a lot more problems.
Fibreglass pools are well-made and are of high quality.

Also, by deciding on the features and size, you can have some control over the price.
