Pre-formed Pools |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pre-formed pools are made for plastic in various weights and in fiberglass. The cost varies and as in most things, you get what you pay for. The cheapest models are thin and vulnerable to damage, the thicker plastic ones are either semi-rigid or rigid and strong, but more costly, and the most expensive are constructed from fiberglasses, which should give a lifetime use. These pools are fine if the shape and size available happens to meet your requirments. Can be PVC plastic, rubber or fiberglass. |
