About Rainforest Pools
American-Made Fiberglass Pools. Built for a Lifetime.
Rainforest Pools is a proud American manufacturer of premium fiberglass swimming pools, spas, and tanning ledges — engineered for strength, beauty, and simplicity. Every pool is built at our Florida manufacturing facility, using advanced composites and marine-grade resins to ensure lasting durability and performance in any climate.
From our roots in Central Florida to our growing dealer network across the Southeast, Texas–Oklahoma region, and Mid-Atlantic, Rainforest Pools is committed to helping homeowners turn their backyards into private retreats with luxury-grade pools at accessible prices.
Our focus has always been clear: Quality craftsmanship, fast installation, and honest value — all made in the USA.
Our Mission
To redefine backyard living with American-made fiberglass pools that last for generations.
Rainforest Pools was founded on the belief that families deserve more than imported, short-term solutions. We build pools designed to withstand decades of use, resist cracking, fading, and waterline wear, and perform beautifully in hot, humid, or freeze-thaw conditions alike.
Every pool model — from compact cocktail pools to resort-style designs with integrated spas — reflects our dedication to innovation, precision, and craftsmanship. And because we’re a U.S. manufacturer, homeowners and builders enjoy direct access to technical support, faster shipping, and a limited lifetime structural warranty backed by a trusted name.
Built in America. Trusted Nationwide.
At Rainforest Pools, being American-made isn’t just a label — it’s a promise. Each fiberglass pool shell is hand-crafted and quality-checked by skilled technicians who take pride in every detail, from the smooth gelcoat finish to the structural composite reinforcement below the surface.
Our production process ensures:
Consistency: Every mold is precision-engineered for strength and balance.
Durability: Multi-layered composite construction prevents osmosis and flex cracking.
Efficiency: Lightweight shells reduce installation time and long-term maintenance.
Rainforest Pools are built for the realities of American backyards — clay soil, sandy coasts, rocky terrain, and seasonal temperature swings — providing long-term peace of mind for homeowners and installers alike.
