Though fiberglass pools may have a daunting initial install cost, they tend to be cheaper in the long run. With only 3% of fiberglass pools ever needing to be repaired, you should not run into any problem with the pool needing fixed if you hire the right builder.

The main problem with fiberglass pools is the limitation in customizability. With Gunite pools you can create what you want in terms of shape and size, but the same cannot be said about fiberglass. With that being said, fiberglass pools still have a multitude of options on chapes and sizes and have a long lifetime.

A fiberglass pool's lifetime has many factors to consider. Maintenance and water chemistry along with installation practices, the lifetime of a fiberglass pool can vary. Another driving factor is the manufacturer of the fiberglass shell. Latham provides a lifetime warranty on their shell, so installation and maintenance are where your pool will have possibility of failure. All things considered they usually will last 25-30 years
