If you are building a new pool to enhance your outdoor living space, there are many considerations. Choosing the basic type of pool, size, shape and many other factors come into play. Creating the best pool design for your home will require you to consider all these factors, along with style and budget. Here are some things to keep in mind while designing your pool.

Type of Pool

Are you still stuck on the basic decision of whether to use fiberglass shell or to have a cement lined pool? Fiberglass can be less expensive, but you will be limited to the sizes and shapes available. Cement is better for those that want a customized design or a larger pool.

Shape

You want a pool shape that works with your style and needs. Rectangle pools are perfect for contemporary styles. Kidney or round-edged pools can have a more natural effect and work with your landscape.

Style

Your pool will be the centerpiece of your outdoor space. You want a beautiful style that will enhance the value of your home. Some features that can help stylize your new pool include:

  • Water features like a water wall or waterfall
  • Fire features
  • Underwater lighting
  • Tanning shelves
  • Natural stone pool deck

There are so many options available to customize the design of your pool. From the surface material and pool deck to the many extra features you can add, you can make your pool unique and tailored to your style. Talk to your local pool designer to find out more about what is available to create the perfect pool design for your home.

Is Cement or Fiberglass a Better Option for Your Pool?

Comments Off on Is Cement or Fiberglass a Better Option for Your Pool?

If you are building a pool, one of the most important questions you will need to answer is whether you want a fiberglass or cement shell for your pool. There is a variety of information you can read on the merits of both, usually geared toward one or the other for sales purposes.  It comes down to choosing the best option for your needs and budget. Here are the basic differences.

Cement Pools

The main reason to choose a cement pool is the design factor. Cement, both gunite and shotcrete, can be designed in almost any shape, size and depth you want. Unlike most fiberglass shells, you don’t have to stick with the preformed design. You can make your pool truly unique and custom built for your home.

However, there are drawbacks to owning cement pool when it comes to maintenance and long term costs. Most cement pools need resurfacing every 10 or more years, plus require more maintenance to keep algae at bay. But there are newer surfacing options that can last longer and offer easier maintenance – talk to your pool contractor.

Fiberglass Pools

For the budget conscience and those looking for low maintenance pools, fiberglass pools are a good choice. Although the design options are limited, as are the sizes, they are cost efficient to build and maintain. Fiberglass shells are nonporous, helping them deter algae, requiring fewer chemicals and less cleaning. Fiberglass also does not need resurfacing like a cement pools need.

So which is right for you? If you want a customized or large pool, you will want to investigate the cement options. For an easy to maintain pool, fiberglass is the way to go. Talk to your local pool contractor to make your final decision.
