If you’re planning to get a custom swimming pool built this summer for your Oahu home, the pool construction professionals at Central Pacific Specialty Contractors highly recommend using concrete over fiberglass. Why? Here’s a look at a few of the top reasons.

5 Reasons Concrete Is the Best Pool Construction Material

1. Choose Any Shape

Fiberglass pools are only available in a select few shapes. If you’ve envisioned something different, however, your local pool contractors can make it a reality if you choose concrete. Not limited to the standard “cookie cutter” pool shapes, they can make your pool fit your landscape or resemble just about anything shape you desire.

2. Do More in Your Pool

Non-concrete pools have limited depths and widths, making them less than ideal for diving or racing. When your pool activities are more extreme than wading in the shallow end, concrete is the most realistic pool construction material, as it can construct a pool of any width or depth.

3. Build Custom Water Features

Other materials will let you enjoy a simple swimming pool and little else — but with concrete, you have more design options. For example, you can construct that waterfall you’ve been daydreaming about, or incorporate fountains into your design.

4. Longer-Lasting

Concrete lasts longer than fiberglass and is also easier to repair. If you’ve found your forever home, a concrete pool makes for a far better investment than any other type.

5. Increases Home Value

In the event you do end up selling your home, you’ll be able to drive up the selling price a lot higher when you have a concrete pool rather than a fiberglass one.
