Fiberglass is the most popular inground pool choice we install, and it makes sense why. The shell comes pre-made, goes in fast, and needs less upkeep than concrete over time. If you're sorting through your options before committing to anything, here's an honest look at what you're getting with a fiberglass pool.
Fiberglass Pool Sizes & Shapes: What's Available
A fiberglass pool shell is a single pre-formed unit, sometimes called a drop-in fiberglass pool, set directly into the excavation. The shell you pick determines your shape, depth, and footprint, so it’s worth taking some time with this decision.
We install shells from Latham, one of the most trusted names in fiberglass pools. We’re authorized to offer the Latham Select line, a range of shapes and sizes built to Latham’s quality standards. Here’s a snapshot of what’s typically available:
- Small fiberglass pools — compact shells around 10x20 ft, good for tighter yards or a plunge-style setup
- Mid-size shells (12x24) — our most common install; enough room to actually swim without taking over the whole backyard
- Larger inground shells — rectangle and freeform configurations available for bigger spaces and family pools
- Plunge pool shells — shorter and deeper than a typical pool, built specifically for cooling off and relaxing
Fiberglass Pool Pricing: What Affects the Cost?
We get a lot of searches for cheap fiberglass pools and affordable fiberglass inground pools, and those are fair questions. The honest answer: we don’t publish set prices because every yard is different. What you actually pay depends on a few things:
- Shell size — smaller pools cost less; larger shells cost more (pretty straightforward)
- Equipment — a standard pump and filter is base cost; a heated pool system adds to it
- Deck scope — brushed concrete is the budget-friendly option; stamped concrete with custom coping runs higher
- Site conditions — slope, soil, and access can all affect excavation cost
Why Choose Concrete Authority for Your Fiberglass Pool
Most fiberglass pool companies install the shell and leave the rest to you. We don’t. We build the pool and the deck — same crew, same contract, start to finish. We also offer heated pool systems as an upgrade, so if you want your pool usable in October and not just July, that option is on the table.
We serve Lancaster County and surrounding communities. Free pool estimates always.
