Longevity - Fibreglass And Resin Shell Swimming Pools

The longevity of your fibreglass pool depends largely on the climate you live in, the chemical composition of the resin your shell id comprised of, as well as the quality of the initial installation. Fibreglass pools can last upwards of twenty to thirty years or more according to manufacturers with many claiming much longer life spans.



There are fewer fibreglass pools in North America than any other type of pool, and the longevity of this product has not been proven to the extent that other more traditional swimming pool installations like vinyl liner and concrete pools have. It is worth noting that in some areas like Australia, fibreglass pools are one of the most popular choices for new pool construction.

Fibreglass pools can need to be resurfaced on the interior just like vinyl liner and concrete pools. Every seven to ten years this resurfacing must be applied by professionals to keep your pool looking and functioning well.
