The answer is could be either depending on your property and what is most important to you, if you are unsure get an onsite appraisal done for both and see which you feel is better suited to your family. Some key points a lot of families make their decision based on are listed below:
Warranty: With a fibreglass pool the warranties are almost always longer than concrete pool warranties. At Aquify Pools we offer 35-year structural warranty (also considered a Lifetime Warranty) on our pools with and industry leading lifetime guarantee on the interior surface. Concrete pools typically have a 7 year warranty for structural and interior finish
Design: Concrete pools can be made to any shape, or depth so if you had a very specific design or even an unusually shaped yard that would be difficult to fit a more typical shaped pool then concrete will give you that flexibility. Fibreglass pools come in set shapes and sizes but there are a lot of amazing designs to choose from and you also get the advantage to look at completed images of the exact pool you are considering.
Surface: Fibreglass pools have a smooth interior so your family doesn’t need to worry about getting cuts or scratches as can happen in a concrete pool (plaster, tile aggregate) especially important if you have active kids who have softer skin. The smooth surface of Fibreglass has other advantages the non-porous surface also makes fibreglass pools a lot easier to clean, less expensive to maintain as there are less costs for pool chemicals.
Install Time: The time needed for a fibreglass pool can be installed in 1-2 weeks with the whole process from the initial site consultation to plan approvals and installations being approximately 1-3 months. With a concrete pool, this process can take anywhere between 3-6 months with your outdoor space being a construction site and unusable for a longer amount of time. With a fibreglass pool you can be enjoying the pool a lot quicker with less disruption to your yard, pets and family.
