Concrete vs Fibreglass
Fibreglass: Pre-made shell, faster install (6–8 weeks), lower maintenance, lower upfront cost. Limited shapes and sizes. Concrete: Any shape and size, longer lifespan (50+ years), higher cost and longer build (3–6 months), needs resurfacing every 10–15 years.
Consent Requirements
All pools over 400mm deep require building consent from Hawke's Bay Council and compliant pool fencing (NZ Building Code Clause F9 — 1.2m min height, self-latching gates). Non-compliant fencing is a serious liability risk.
