We are in the market to purchase an inground pool. SOOO many mixed reviews on gunite vs. fiberglass. What's important to us.

1) Pool that will last 20+ years
2) Shape doesn't really matter
3) 3'-6', 30'+ length, 16'+ width
4) maintenance fees (electric, chemicals and other misc. items to maintain)fiberglass vs. gunite.
5) possible jacuzzi

...thoughts? anyone with a fiberglass pool that can pipe in?

Thank you!

No way would I have a fiberglass pool in South Texas - the gel coat isn't going to hold up for your 20 year time frame.......

TR is right. Just Google fiberglass pool failures. You'll see why gunite is the way to go.
