Hello,

The house we move in had a vinyl pool, is was in very poor condition, now its just a pond. impossible to repair the vinyl. we have been think on replacing it with a Fiberglass or Gunite/Concrete. From what I have read fiber glass seems to be easier to maintain and does not require major repair like re-plaster. every pool i have seem in the area is concrete, i understand this type of pool has to be re-plaster every 10 or so years. my main concern with concrete pool is that in Houston the soil is what they called Gumbo soil, it moves a lot. most concrete structure (foundations, driveways) will show cracks after few years. I think that concrete pool will have the same issue. it seems like fiberglass will be a solution to this but like i mentioned everyone has Concrete pool. Is there any one in the Houston area that has a fiberglass pool that could share his/her experience and recommendation. or if you have a concrete pool did you considered fiberglass?

thanks

Christian
