Why do prices vary so much from fiberglass manufactures, when they are all fiberglass pools?
This is a good question, and if I were in the market for a pool of any type I would question why there would be a big difference in price. Lets start by addressing some of the differences between manufactures. Fiberglass pools come in different thickness, and gel coats can be of high quality or low quality. This will greatly determine the pools durability and will affect whether or not there are major maintenance issues down the road. Cheap gel coats can develop scratches easily and are hard to repair without a noticeable patch. Fading can also occur when these gelcoats are used, causing your pool to like it has a powder on it after just a couple of years. Thin pools can result in bulging walls, which is not something that is covered on your pools warranty. A pools thickness will also have a major impact on whether or not it ever develops a crack in the structure. We actually dropped our last line because they kept sending us thin pools.
