The answer is, truthfully: yes and no. In many areas of the country, the purchase price of a fiberglass pool is about the same or slightly more than an equivalent gunite pool. A fiberglass pool is more expensive than a vinyl liner pool, and should be! The materials are more expensive, but fiberglass last forever! Any uninformed buyer may mistakenly assume fiberglass pools fall in the temporary, above-ground price range, which is not true. Fiberglass savings are realized monthly in electrical and chemical costs. The higher expenses of a vinyl or gunite pool add up quickly. In areas where fiberglass pools initially cost more, the difference is quickly made up after a few years of paying these bills.
