Introduction: Why Factory-Direct Pool Shells Save You Money
Building a swimming pool is a dream for many South African homeowners, but the cost can sometimes feel overwhelming. The good news? Factory-direct fibreglass pool shells are one of the most affordable ways to own a pool without compromising on quality.
At Ultimate Pools, we supply and install premium fibreglass pool shells at factory prices, cutting out middlemen so you get more value for your money. Whether you’re after a compact splash pool or a large family-sized design, here’s what you need to know about factory pool shell costs in South Africa.
How Factory Pricing Works
By purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you save on:
- 💸 Markup costs from resellers.

Comparing Factory Shells vs Other Pool Types
- Concrete Pools: Start around R100,000 and can exceed R250,000 depending on finishes. Longer installation times and higher maintenance costs.
- Marbelite Pools: Require resurfacing every 8–10 years, which adds ongoing expenses.
- Fibreglass Pool Shells: Starting from R12,500, they’re affordable, durable, and quick to install — the best balance of cost and long-term value.
