Fiberglass pool manufacturers are offering a wide variety of options to their models, including many different shapes, and colors, pools with spas embedded within them, built-in benches, sprays, fountains, and other water features. Fiberglass has made the move away from the traditional white to a large variety of colors and even textures. The colors are mixed right into the resin thus creating a rich and vibrant color that you can not achieve with traditional concrete/gunite pools. Fiberglass pools have come a long way in terms of design. Many manufacturers have expanded their models from the traditional Roman, square, and kidney to include their own custom free-form designs. This has allowed fiberglass pools to approach the fact that their shapes are becoming more difficult to distinguish from a traditional concrete/gunite pool. Some manufacturers have begun to offer options such as built-in spas, over-falls, sprays, and even fountains to up their appeal.
While fiberglass pools have a few disadvantages but the advantages heavily out-weight those disadvantages. For one fiberglass pools cost more to initially build, but in the long run save money because of the cost of the maintenance is so much lower. Fiberglass pools are also limited to widths that can be transported down the road. This ends up limiting the size of the pool.
