Panthers Fan Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I am planning on an inground fiberglass pool install this fall/winter. We like the pools that have color instead of the plain white. Is Viking or Leisure a better way to go. Are there other brands to consider or stay away from? Thank you for your replies.

midwestpoolsmichigan Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 As an inground pool builder for over 20 years in Michigan, we have done an extensive amount of research on the various brands of fiberglass swimming pools available to sell. Our climate here is very harsh and pools that work well in mild climates are not always suitable for our weather. The Viking pools offer closed beam copings and a ceramic core for added strength against the freeze/ thaw cycles. It is also very important to use a perforated backfill such as peastone to ensure that water does not puddle around the outside of your pool shell. As with any pool the key to longevity is placing the pool shell on a stable base with adequate water diversion. Any fiberglass pool shell can and will work if properly installed.
