Fiberglass pools are so misunderstood!

Fiberglass pool installation example

Some people think fiberglass pools pop out of the ground! The truth is all pools—even concrete—can do that if they’re not installed properly. It’s very rare, but the reason it can happen is from build-up of drainage water or a seasonal high water table around a pool that is improperly installed. Most fiberglass pools have a cantilever concrete deck installed around the pool’s lip to secure your pool from ground shifts. And since you never need to drain a fiberglass pool, you don’t have to worry about a “pop-up.”
