☀️ Built for Coastal Mississippi Climate, Soil Conditions & Storm Patterns
Hancock County’s sandy soils, elevated water tables, salt air, and seasonal storm patterns require a pool engineered for stability. Rainforest fiberglass shells are designed for the Gulf Coast environment—resisting fading, cracking, shifting, and long-term wear. Because the county’s terrain ranges from coastal neighborhoods to inland wooded areas, our fiberglass pools provide the ideal balance of durability and flexibility. For a clear look at excavation, drainage, backfill, and the full project timeline, review our Fiberglass Pool Installation Process.
💵 How much does an inground fiberglass pool cost in Hancock County, MS?
Most homeowners in Hancock County—including Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Kiln, and Diamondhead—can expect a complete inground fiberglass pool project to range from $55,000 to $155,000, depending on the model, backyard layout, access, soil conditions, and desired upgrades. Coastal homes may require drainage or elevation considerations, while inland forested lots may need leveling or root work.
