I have a liner and love it. It is very custom and even has a sun/Baja deck in it... We have a spill over hot tub. It gets used often and is easy to keep up.

How deep do you need for the deep end on fiberglass? Some i see are 7+ feet most seem like less than 6 feet. If kids are jumping in I think you'd need at least 7. My neighborhood runs the gambit from guy it to liner to fiber. I'm asking around.

You don't want a deep pool. 5.5 is plenty. The deeper the pool the steeper the decline which leaves you with no space to stand. I have a 34x14 and have 15 people in the pool with no problem because everyone can spread out

IF I ever get another pool this is exactly what I'll do. No need for my 8 foot deep end and a hell of a lot more activities you can do in a pool like this.

Bunch of BS in this thread. I've had a fiberglass for over 10 years and no problems. Check your installer thoroughly. Fiberglass is easier to clean and gunite allows you to shape to your landscape. Also the fiberglass is easier on your clothes/feet cause it's smooth. Price is about

I don't think price is anywhere near the same. A prefab fiberglass pool is about $20,000+ less with installation.
