For many homeowners, a fibreglass pool offers advantages including a streamlined installation, a smooth non porous surface, easier ongoing maintenance and a wide range of designs. Concrete pools offer greater flexibility for highly customised shapes and configurations. The right option depends on your backyard and priorities.
