Re: Pools-concrete or fibreglass??
Thanks for all your replies, looks like its still a 50/50 split and ultimately a personal decision.

Re: Pools-concrete or fibreglass??
Depends on your site and design preferences. Fibreglass pools come in standard sizes whereas concrete can be custom shaped.
When we were looking fibreglass was quite a lot cheaper for what we wanted so that is what we went with.
Our pool colour is quite a dark blue so we paid extra for a special UV coating but after 5 years though the area of the pool wall above the water has still faded. Worth taking into consideration. Although there may be better technology available now though.
