CREATIVE FIBERGLASS POOLS

The manufacturing process behind our fiberglass pools is truly remarkable. Each pool shell is crafted as a single, seamless piece using a precision-engineered mold. Layer by layer, durable materials are applied and fused together to create a strong, supportive structure. Reinforcements are then added to enhance both strength and flexibility—ensuring the pool maintains its beauty and integrity for years to come. The result is a high-performance, one-piece pool that arrives at your home ready for installation. With a wide range of molds available, we offer you an extensive selection of shapes and styles to perfectly suit any backyard design.

Each pool begins with a meticulously crafted mold, designed to match the exact shape and specifications of the desired model. This allows us to produce multiple pools with consistent quality and precision from the same mold. From initial preparation to the finished product, our manufacturing process follows five key stages — each one showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship that goes into creating every one of our stunning fiberglass pools.

1. MOLD PREPARATION: Our mold preparation process follows strict standards, keeping the prepping environment clean. We meticulously clean our molds to sterilize and eliminate any imperfections and debris. Additionally, we protect our molds with plastic coverings when they are not in use.
2. GELCOAT APPLICATION: During this stage, three layers of gelcoat are sprayed onto the mold with a short period of curing time between each layer. Our quality control team ensures that each layer meets our rigorous standards before proceeding to the next one.
3. VINYL ESTER RESIN APPLICATION: The vinyl ester resin application serves as a protective layer for the gelcoat and is carefully sprayed onto the mold to waterproof the pool and increase its wall thickness. We use precise measurements to ensure accurate application for each pool size, followed by a curing process and a final quality check before proceeding to the next stage.
4. FIBERGLASS RE-LAMINATION: The initial layer of fiberglass is applied as a “skin,” followed by a reinforcement stage, and the attachment of lifting lugs for transportation purposes.
5. READY FOR SHIPPING: Upon completion of each manufacturing stage, the pool is ready for shipping. Barrier Reef Fiberglass Pools, LLC maintains the highest standards for fiberglass pool manufacturing and provides a manufacturer’s sheet for each pool to ensure the use of correct materials.

Because inground fiberglass pools are constructed as a single, sealed shell, they require significantly less maintenance compared to other pool types. Vinyl liner pools, for instance, often need frequent repairs or full liner replacements. Concrete pools demand surface prep, plastering, and ongoing upkeep to maintain their finish. Fiberglass pools, on the other hand, arrive with a smooth, finished surface that's ready to go—no additional sealing or surfacing needed. Since they come pre-manufactured, installation is typically much faster and more straightforward than other types of pools that must be built on-site from the ground up. These benefits are just the beginning! Barrier Reef fiberglass Pools offer a smart, low-maintenance, and long-lasting solution for you to enjoy the outdoors with less hassle and more fun.

Since fiberglass pools arrive essentially pre-built, their installation time is typically far faster and easier than it is for other types of swimming pools that must be built in place. These are just a few of the many advantages that fiberglass pools offer over other types.

Fiberglass pools have become increasingly popular because they combine luxury, efficiency, and longevity. Homeowners appreciate the wide range of stylish designs, the ease of maintenance, and the quick installation process. Plus, their built-in features and long-lasting materials make them a smart investment for families who want more time enjoying their pool and less time maintaining it.

Fiberglass pools offer one of the fastest installation timelines of any inground pool—often completed in as little as 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the specifics of the site. Unlike other pool types that require extensive on-site construction, fiberglass pools arrive pre-built and ready for installation. This drastically reduces the time and disruption involved, especially when compared to concrete pools, which can take several months to complete. While factors like soil conditions and terrain can affect the schedule, the overall process is significantly quicker. That means you get to enjoy your backyard oasis sooner—and with far less mess and construction hassle.

Fiberglass pools are incredibly durable, making them a smart long-term investment for your home. Built with multiple layers of high-strength materials, the pool shell is both strong and flexible. Designed to withstand shifting soil, extreme temperatures, and everyday wear and tear. With proper care, a fiberglass pool can last for decades with minimal maintenance, offering both reliability and peace of mind for homeowners.

Yes — fiberglass pools are known for being one of the easiest types of pools to maintain. Their smooth surface resists algae growth, which means fewer chemicals are needed to keep the water clean and clear. Unlike concrete pools, they don’t require frequent resurfacing or acid washing, and there’s no liner to replace like in vinyl pools. Routine maintenance is simple and straightforward, allowing homeowners to spend more time enjoying their pool and less time worrying about upkeep.

A fiberglass pool is a smart investment for homeowners looking for a beautiful, low-maintenance, and long-lasting backyard upgrade. With quick installation, built-in features like tanning ledges and seating, and a smooth, algae-resistant surface, fiberglass pools offer unmatched convenience and comfort. They’re incredibly durable, energy-efficient, and require fewer chemicals and repairs over time—saving you money and effort in the long run.
