5 good reasons to favor a shell pool in your garden

A high-end product on the swimming pool market, the in-ground pool is, for many French people, a true art of living. Considered as an element of enhancement of a property, the in-ground pool has not always been so easy to install at home. Indeed, for a long time, concrete blocks were the king material when building swimming pools. Particularly renowned for its customization possibilities, the concrete pool has since lost its title, dethroned by its counterpart, more modern and quicker to install: the shell pool.

Thanks to its wide choice of pool sizes, its simplified installation and maintenance,the shell poolis today the most popular alternative for the French.

Focus on the 5 reasons to prefer installing a shell pool.

1. Shell pool: quick and easy to install

One of the main advantages ofshell poolscomes fromtheir simplicity and speed of installation. Indeed, unlike concrete pools, you will not need to proceed with reinforcement or the installation of pillars. The only steps necessary forthe construction of your shell poolconcern the choice of location, obtaining the building permit, taking measurements, and excavation. Once you have completed this withthe advice of your pool manufacturer, you can proceed withthe installation of your pool. As soon as the excavation for your shell pool is completed, it will take you, on average, two days to install it.

However, keep in mind thatsome very compact models (less than 10m2) adapt perfectly to small gardens, even in urban areas.In this case, you will not be required to havea building permit. You will simply need to notify your town hall by submittinga declaration of worksin due form.

2. Numerous possibilities for customizing your shell pool

Rectangular, round, oval, or even custom-made… The material used to make the shell of your pool is customizable as you wish. You can even choose the bottom of your pool (flat or sloped), according to your preferences. It's up to you to let your imagination run wild to design the shell pool of your dreams!

3. Shell pool: materials that stand the test of time

Made of polyester,the shell poolis particularly recognized for its robustness. Thanks to the gel coat and resin it is covered with, your pool will withstand, for years, bad weather and possible ground movements.

In addition to its solidity and its watertightness, the shell pool does not require any special renovations (unlike the liner or the mosaic coating). A simple layer of coat applied every 10 years will be enough to give a new shine to your pool.

4. Shell pool: an economical choice

Whether it's for installation or long-term maintenance,the budget for a shell poolis significantly less than that of a concrete pool. Although dependent on many factors – such as the pool's dimensions or installation conditions –a shell poolwill allow you to save money onmaintenance.
