My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Yellow fiberglass / resin pool?

7 years ago

Why always blue or white? I'm looking at a 'canary yellow' fibreglass resurfacing job and wonder, if anyone got experience with colored fiberglass pools. The resin company itself seems to advise against using it, saying it might fade earlier than other colors, but I'd be keen to give it a try.


My only fear is the effect of the water on it: will the blue color of the water add to a green pool, if the pool itself is yellow?


I tried researching around with image search, but I can't find any example of a yellow pool, but found an amazing looking red one on http://www.poolpro.co.za/coloured-pools/ which also talks about potential pitfalls.


See the original overview of the resin producer (I'm located in Cape Town, South Africa) here:


Any insights and experiences you can share?

    yes, the water will look green when the sky reflects in the water.
