You started this journey hoping to be swimming in a pool in your own backyard. He has done extensive research on the different types of pools. He has decided that above ground pools are too small and clunky, inflatable pools are too cheap and unreliable, and in-ground fiberglass pools are the best option. You know you have enough space for an in-ground pool and have decided to build it with fiberglass instead of concrete or vinyl. Now comes the most important part of the whole process: the cost.
Fiberglass pools offer pool structures of the highest quality. You can fit a fiberglass pool in almost any size garden and you can shape it to fit almost any shape. Variety and flexibility may seem like benefits, but they can be a real problem when you’re trying to figure out how much a fiberglass pool will cost you.
Obviously, you don’t want to go into a pool contractor’s office and ask how much it will cost without having a rough idea. High pressure sales pitches are never fun and you are likely to get ripped off if you are not polite. The problem is that you won’t be able to determine the exact cost of your fiberglass pool without asking the builder, but I can at least give you some rough estimates. Fiberglass pool prices vary widely.
The fiberglass pool shell itself will be the most expensive part of the pool. Small fiberglass shells for pools that are about 26 feet or less in length will cost ten to twelve thousand dollars. Medium fiberglass pool shells (27′ – 34′ long) will set you back thirteen to fourteen thousand dollars and any larger pool could cost fifteen to twenty thousand dollars.
Those estimates are based on the average price of fiberglass shells. They don’t take into account installation fees or extra features you add to your pool. If you’re still willing to spend that much, go for it! Inground fiberglass pools will add value to your property and pleasure to your life.
