Concrete or fiberglass?
Concrete pools are formed on site, so shape, size and depth are open. Fiberglass pools are factory-made shells set in one piece, so the shape and size come from the manufacturer and must be deliverable to the site. Playwell builds both and recommends one after the site review.
How much does a pool cost?
Playwell does not publish prices. Every project is quoted after a site review, because size, construction type, soil and access, decking, features and permit requirements all move the number.
