How fibreglass pools are made
A fibreglass pool is manufactured as a single, one-piece shell. We spray a smooth, coloured gelcoat into a polished mould, then hand-laminate layers of fibreglass and resin over it to build a strong, watertight shell. Once cured and quality-checked, the finished pool is delivered and installed into the ground — usually within 5 to 7 days.
How we make your pool
We start with a polished mould of your chosen shape, prepped to a mirror finish.
A coloured gelcoat is sprayed in — this becomes the smooth, durable surface you swim against.
Layers of fibreglass matting and resin are hand-laminated to build structural strength.
Thickness, cure and finish are inspected before the shell leaves the factory.
The one-piece shell is transported and craned into your prepared excavation.
Backfill, plumbing, coping and commissioning — and you're swimming, usually within the week.
Common questions
A quality fibreglass shell lasts decades — ours carry a 10-year structural guarantee and typically far outlive it.
Yes. All Cosmo shells are compatible with salt chlorination for a softer, lower-maintenance swim.
Most installations are completed in 5–7 days, depending on site access and finishes.
