Browse Forums Pools & Spas Fibreglass v Concrete 13Jul 16, 2016 2:10 pm My response was in regards to this comment you made. "I could not find 1 example of someone with wealth build a fiberglass pool." Surely you would agree that some people with wealth, probably far greater than yours and mine do choose fibreglass pools over concrete . I'm not sure on the famous part of your statement as I don't have famous friends don't invite me over for a swim . You do come across as a snob with comments such as "If you can't afford a concrete pool. " .Many people make a considered decision to build a fibreglass pool for many reasons . Your pool does look good so far and have no doubt it will look great when it's finished, but it won't elevate you to a higher social status than your next door neighbour with a fibreglass pool . Cheers Re: Fibreglass v Concrete 14Jul 20, 2016 11:43 am carmania We "Owner Built" a Concrete pool last year. I liked the idea of concrete with a fully tiled finish, to me it was more classy than a fiberglass "plastic" pool. Even though I had the option with concrete to choose any style/shape, I chose a simple rectangle pool. I too was confused about whether I should choose fiberglass or concrete but when I asked myself what do the "Rich and Famous" choose ..... I could not find 1 example of someone with wealth build a fiberglass pool. Anyhow here is my story. Good luck! viewtopic.php?f=65&t=73509 That's because they have the cash to fix all the problems with a concrete pool with age. Cracks, leaching, broken tiles, black spot, etc... They are all class now but in 20 years will look very tired opposed to a fibreglass pool of the same age. Just my opinion from what i've seen. Re: Fibreglass v Concrete 15Aug 03, 2016 9:33 pm We chose fibreglass due to them being warmer. Very happy with our decision!

The obvious choice to me is fibreglass. I am not a person of great wealth, but I have had both concrete pools and fibreglass and I would take fiberglass any day. to the guy who thinks only wealthy people have concrete pools, when its a hot day, nobody gives a toss what the pool is made from, they just want to swim. Re: Fibreglass v Concrete 17Mar 21, 2017 9:53 pm Interesting the comments about cost. Been talking to the concrete pool sales people and I'm told they are the same price as fibreglass. Not had any actually quote to get a comparison against fibreglass. Hi all I need a guidance on how far I need to space expansion joints in the concrete driveway and its type (keyway/foam.)
