Why More Homeowners Are Choosing Fiberglass

Fiberglass pools are transforming backyards across America — and for good reason. They’re strong, stylish, and remarkably low-maintenance.
At Rainforest Pools, every fiberglass shell is built in the USA with marine-grade materials that stand up to heat, humidity, and soil movement. Whether you live in Florida, South Carolina, Texas, or beyond, you’ll get a pool that looks stunning and performs flawlessly for decades.


1. Fast, Clean Installation

Most fiberglass pools install in 2–3 weeks.
The shell arrives pre-molded, ready to set into place — no months-long construction mess or weather delays. Because plumbing and fittings are integrated, installers can complete excavation, placement, and finishing with precision and speed.


2. Built-In Strength & Durability

Fiberglass pools are engineered to flex, not crack.
The reinforced composite structure handles soil movement and high water tables common in coastal areas. Unlike concrete, the surface won’t chip, peel, or require resurfacing. Each Rainforest pool is backed by a lifetime structural warranty.


3. Smooth, Non-Porous Surface

Easy to clean, soft on skin, and algae-resistant.
The gelcoat finish keeps water crystal-clear with fewer chemicals. There’s no rough plaster or abrasive edges — just a smooth, glossy surface that feels luxurious underfoot.


4. Low Maintenance & Long-Term Savings

No acid washing, no liner replacement, no hidden costs.
Maintenance is simple: test, balance, and enjoy. Over 10–20 years, fiberglass pools save homeowners thousands in resurfacing, chemicals, and labor compared to concrete or vinyl.


5. Elegant Designs & Color Options

Modern shapes, integrated steps, benches, and tanning ledges.
Rainforest Pools offers a curated selection of fiberglass models — from compact cocktail pools to large family designs. Each can be customized with lighting, ledges, and color finishes that reflect your backyard style.


6. Compatible with Saltwater Systems

Perfect for coastal climates and gentle on skin.
Fiberglass pools are 100% non-reactive, making them ideal for salt systems. There’s no corrosion, etching, or staining — just soft, silky water that’s easier on swimmers and equipment.


7. Energy Efficient

Fiberglass shells naturally insulate water.
They warm faster and hold temperature longer, reducing heater run time and lowering utility bills. The smooth surface also cuts down on filtration time, making each pool more energy-efficient year-round.


8. Safer for Families

Non-slip steps and rounded edges for peace of mind.
Rainforest models feature built-in safety ledges, textured steps, and shallow entry zones perfect for kids or older adults. The surface stays cool, smooth, and comfortable in the summer sun.


9. Beautiful Year-Round Finish

UV-resistant gelcoat keeps its color for decades.
Rainforest’s premium finishes won’t chalk, fade, or stain in direct sunlight. Choose from deep ocean blues, bright tropical teals, or soft sand tones — all designed for long-lasting beauty.


10. Lifetime Structural Warranty

Confidence that lasts as long as your pool.
Every Rainforest fiberglass pool is handcrafted in America and backed by a lifetime structural warranty. It’s a long-term investment that adds comfort, value, and visual appeal to your home.
