How long does it take to install the Rapa Nui fiberglass pool?
The Rapa Nui is manufactured as a one-piece fiberglass shell, which can allow for a more efficient installation process than many traditional concrete pool projects.

Can the Rapa Nui fiberglass pool be customized?
Yes, the Rapa Nui can be paired with a wide range of finishing options and equipment upgrades to personalize the completed backyard.
Depending on the project, homeowners may consider waterline tile, LED lighting, heaters or chillers, sanitation systems, automation, handrails, water features, upgraded coping, paver patios, landscaping, and outdoor living features. These additions can enhance the finished pool area without changing the molded design of the Rapa Nui shell. Explore our Fiberglass Pool Customization Options for ideas.
Is the Rapa Nui easier to maintain than a concrete pool?
The Rapa Nui’s smooth fiberglass gelcoat surface is designed for easier routine care than many traditional concrete pool surfaces.
Like every swimming pool, it still requires proper water chemistry, circulation, filtration, cleaning, and equipment maintenance. However, fiberglass does not have the same porous interior finish associated with many concrete pools, which can simplify routine ownership. Our Fiberglass Pool Maintenance guide explains what homeowners should expect.
How does the Rapa Nui compare to a concrete pool?
The Rapa Nui provides a factory-manufactured one-piece fiberglass shell with a smooth finished surface and a more streamlined construction process than many concrete pool projects.
Concrete pools offer nearly unlimited custom shapes, but they are constructed primarily on-site and can require longer construction schedules and more surface-related maintenance over time. The Rapa Nui offers homeowners a predetermined 16′ × 36′ rectangular design with built-in features already incorporated into the shell. Review our Fiberglass vs Concrete Pools guide for a more detailed comparison.
What backyard style works best with the Rapa Nui?
The Rapa Nui works especially well in larger backyards where its long rectangular shape can become the centerpiece of a complete outdoor living space.
Its clean lines pair naturally with paver patios, covered lanais, outdoor kitchens, lounge areas, screen enclosures, modern landscaping, and structured architectural designs. Because the pool measures approximately 16′ × 36′, homeowners should also plan adequate space for access, equipment, decking, setbacks, and the surrounding outdoor living area. Explore Customization Options for ideas on creating the finished backyard around the pool.
Can the Rapa Nui increase home value?
A well-designed Rapa Nui installation can improve the usability, appearance, and lifestyle appeal of a home’s outdoor space.
The actual effect on property value varies by location, home value, neighborhood, buyer demand, installation quality, and the overall backyard design. A pool is best viewed first as a lifestyle investment rather than a guaranteed financial return. Our guide, Will a Fiberglass Pool Increase My Home Value?, explains the factors homeowners should consider.
