Hi all,
So I have a 20 x 40 cement pool covered with a sprayed on fiberglass. The pool went in in 1967. Not sure when the fiberglass went over it. The cememt is cracking in 4 to 6 vertical locations about 4 feet long down the sides. Different sides too. The floor is cracking (the fiberglass in this case). So what are my options? I have hears about blasting off the fiberglass, patching the cement cracks, painting and living happily ever after. I have hear about some kind of super dura-paint stuff as a final step over the above. I have heard about a drop in retro-fit fiberglass shell with a 50 year warranty. Lastly, the bull dozer. Anyone had any experience? Trying to get a ball park on what each typically costs too. Thanks in advance.! Mr. Mike. |

Fiberglass is not cost-effective given its life. Plaster is better. If the structure is unstable then a new surface finish will not help that. This pool has a negative value. Demolish it. You don't want to spend money to create a lifelong, uninterrupted maintenance chore. |
