Common Fiberglass Pool Designs and Dimensions
Pools come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Understanding how these elements work together can help you select the right pool from both a practical and aesthetic standpoint.
Some of our fiberglass pool designs include: Classic linear, free-form, Roman, and kidney shaped fiberglass pools.
- Rectangular or linear: With its clean lines, a linear pool is a timeless choice. A rectangle fiberglass inground pool can be simple and straightforward or embellished with accessories, and is the optimal shape for a fiberglass inground lap pool.
- Free-form: The free-form pool style can incorporate dramatic curves for a modern look or maximize available swimming space with a more relaxed wavy design. If you’re looking for a more fun, informal, natural-looking pool shape, free-form is your best choice.
- Roman: Romanesque fiberglass pool shapes take a cue from the villas of ancient Rome, with two long straight edges flanked by arched half-circles at either end. If you love the look and functionality of a rectangular pool – but want distinctive embellishments, this timeless shape will imbue your pool area’s chic minimalism with elegance.
- Kidney-shaped: Kidney-shaped pools offer a sleek, contemporary feel and their asymmetrical shape fits easily into smaller spaces without sacrificing style.
