Introduction: The Durability Question
A common misconception is that fiberglass pools are prone to cracking. The truth? With proper installation and care, they’re among the most durable pools you can buy.
Flexibility Over Rigidity
Fiberglass shells have a natural flexibility that allows them to withstand minor ground movement without cracking—a major advantage over rigid concrete.
Causes of Damage
While rare, damage can occur from improper installation, excessive ground movement, or heavy impacts from sharp objects. This is why choosing experienced installers like Ultimate Pools is critical.
Easy Repairs When Needed
If a surface chip or hairline crack does occur, fiberglass is relatively easy to repair compared to concrete, with minimal downtime.
Lifespan Confidence
With the right care, a fiberglass pool can last decades without structural cracks, giving you peace of mind and long-term value.
Conclusion: A Strong Investment
Cracking is the exception, not the rule, with fiberglass pools. Invest in professional installation and enjoy a long-lasting, low-maintenance pool.
