Wisconsin summers are short, sweet, and something we all look forward to. There is nothing like a warm July afternoon spent in your own fiberglass pool surrounded by beautiful landscaping and the people you love.
The most common question we hear from Wisconsin homeowners is:
“When should I start planning my pool project?”
Many people wait until the first warm spring day to reach out. The problem is that in Wisconsin, starting in April often means your pool will not be ready until late summer or even the following year.
If you want to be swimming as soon as the warm weather arrives, the best time to begin planning is actually right now during the Fall or Winter.
Here is why early planning leads to a smoother process and a better summer.
In warmer states, pool building can continue all year.

Fiberglass pools are an amazing investment for your yard! Sturdy, built to last, beautiful and sleek, these pools are designed to wow. Coming in a range of sizes and colors, there is a Barrier Reef model for almost any yard.
Made right here in the USA, these fiberglass pools are hand made to last. Designed to move along with the freeze and thaw cycle, these pools are durable and beautiful. The model options of Barrier Reef pools are extensive, each offering a different size, depth, shape, and safety swim shelf options. Not to mention that you can choose from a list of options what color you would like your pool to be!
A very popular shape for installation is a rectangular pool. Not only do they have the most usable space, it also offers the unique potential to have an automatic cover! Automatic covers are incredible features to add to the ease of your pool process. With a keypad to enter in the code you have chosen, your pool can be opened or closed in under a minute. Safe, easy and clean, the automatic cover rolls back under the pavers leaving no mess or burden of having to cover the pool yourself. In some counties, automatic covers can also take the place of a fence!
Fiberglass pools also offer clean water that is easy on the skin. Using salt that is converted into chlorine, these pool systems are much less aggressive on skin, swimsuits, and pool materials than a traditional chlorinated pool. Traditional concrete pools are porous, which can be a breeding ground for algae and can also be damaging on skin and swimsuits. The smooth surface of a fiberglass pool makes it easy to clean and maintain. When comparing regular maintenance of a fiberglass against other pool options, we see again and again that fiberglass is cheapest to maintain and has less long term repairs needed as well.
These pools can be installed in as little as two days! The quick installation is a feature our customers love, seeing the transformation of their backyard in only a few hours. Some customers love to use their pools for exercise, others for relaxation, the choice really is up to you!
