What is a shell pool?
The shell pool is a rigid pool made of a single block of plastic. For anyone wishing to enjoy an in-ground pool, a shell pool is an interesting alternative, because it’s quick and easy to install. The polyester shell pool is a single-block pool. In other words, your pool will be delivered to you in one piece, ready to install, in the shape of your choice.
The installation of a shell pool offers many advantages and a wide range of models, made from a wide variety of materials: polyester, resin, acrylic…
To help you understand the characteristics of each material, we’ve devoted this article to polyester shell pools.
The advantages of a polyester shell pool
Very popular with private customers, the polyester shell pool offers numerous functional, aesthetic and economic advantages. If you’re still deciding between different materials for your shell pool installation project, here’s what you need to know about polyester models.
Ease of installation
As you can see, since it’s a one-piece pool, a polyester shell pool is very quick to install. In fact, once you’ve completed the groundwork, it only takes a few days to install and commission your pond. A polyester shell pool saves you a lot of time, so you can get the most out of your pool as soon as the warm weather arrives.
Speed of use
One of the special features of a shell pool is that it is “prepared” before delivery. In fact, your pool is covered with a watertight lining that allows it to be used as soon as it is put into service. This is not the case for all materials. A concrete pond, for example, needs to be covered with a material that guarantees watertightness. The result is longer lead times and a higher budget for the installation of your shell pool.
Easy maintenance
The lining of a polyester shell pool is also very easy to clean. The pool’s smooth surface naturally eliminates residues, simplifyingpool maintenance. The result? A clean, attractive pool that’s less of a burden on your day-to-day life.
Customization options
Fourth and final advantage: personalization. The polyester shell pool is made from a mold, which means you can give your pool any shape you like (within reason). Rectangular, square, round or more original, you can design a pool that’s just like you! So you can opt for a flat or sloping floor, with or without stairs, depending on your wishes and the needs of your home.
In concrete terms, from the design of your pool to the installation of your shell pool, there are many options available so that you can enjoy an original pool at a lower cost.
How much does a shell pool cost?
The price of a shell pool varies enormously depending on its size, shape and the additional equipment you wish to add. The cost also depends on how the pool is installed. Indeed, earthworks are an essential item to take into account in your estimates. The more complex your terrain, the higher the price of your pool.
If you opt for a simple, small-format model, your project will cost around 6,000 euros. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a large-format pool with lots of equipment, your project could cost as much as €30,000.
Generally speaking, however, the average price of a polyester shell swimming pool project varies between 12,000 and 15,000 euros.
Don’t hesitate to contact a professional to help you estimate your project according to your needs.
