Fiberglass pools have come a long way! We have been in business for over eighty years, and there was a time in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s that we were excited about fiberglass pools, but at that time it was not quite the right fit for us. However, with better quality raw materials, improved manufacturing technology, enhanced designs, and comprehensive installation techniques, fiberglass pools have improved by leaps and bounds. Fiberglass pool design now even offer many "built-in" features that are considered upgrades on any other type of custom swimming pool, like swim-up seating, wading areas, multiple points of entry and exit, or even a built-in spa.

SWIM UP SEATING
Swim up seating is a fiberglass pool feature that helps you enjoy your swimming pool from multiple vantage points. Typically, features like benches and seats are upgrades on other types of pools, so to have them designed into many of the different fiberglass pool models is a real plus and brings multiple conversation areas into the pool. Some of our customers have referred to them as their beverage bench, where they enjoy winding down at the end of a long day with their favorite beverage in hand.
FIBERGLASS POOL FEATURES
MULTIPLE POINTS OF ENTRY & EXITS
Having multiple entries and exit points has several advantages. More design freedom with the pool and patio layout is one big advantage. If you can only access the pool at one corner, then that naturally limits the position that the pool can be in. Multiple entries and exits are also ideal for those who may tire quickly while swimming.
FIBERGLASS POOL FEATURES
WADING AREA
When you are looking for a full body submersion or a great place for youngsters to splash and play, a pool design with a nice wading area might be a fiberglass swimming pool feature you want to consider. Wading areas are similar to tanning ledges but offer more water depth. Water depth of a wading area can vary and is approximately 14″– 18″ of water.
FIBERGLASS POOL FEATURES
SLIP RESISTANT STEPS
These offer secure entry and exit points into and out of the swimming pool. Both young and old will be using the pool, so it is essential to have a convenient option for both entering and exiting the pool. All steps are slip resistant and easy on the feet which help ensure safety.
FIBERGLASS POOL FEATURES
BUILT IN SPA
Enjoy the added benefit of total relaxation with a built-in spa. Indulge and drift away in your own back yard. Help improve circulation and escape from the daily grind. Prefer a different pool model that doesn’t have a built-in spa? No problem! Learn more about other fiberglass pool spas that are available to add on to any backyard project.
