This stage consists of three passes of gelcoat sprayed onto the pool mould. The pool mould is left for a short time between each spray. Each stage of gelcoat application has to pass the stringent quality control criteria by Pool Construction Management before proceeding to the next stage.

Stage 3. Expoxy Vinyl Ester Application
Expoxy Vinyl Ester is sprayed onto the gelcoated pool mould to give the pool its waterproof quality. It is measured and accurately applied to match the surface of each pool size being made. The Expoxy Vinyl Ester is then left to cure before being checked once more by quality control. The swimming pool is then ready to move to the final phase of the pool manufacturing process.

Stage 4. Fibreglass Reinforcement Laminate
The first layer of fibreglass is applied as a "skin". Once the skin stage has been completed, the pool then undergoes a reinforcing stage, with the application of Klegcell PVC close cell foam.

Next a layer of form core is applied.

Lifting lugs and brick ties are then applied. Lifting lugs enable the pools to be lifted by crane for transportation, whilst the brick ties allow ease of construction of pool copings.

At the Reo Stage, another layer is applied to cover all work and to provide a final stage of reinforcing.




The pool making process has now been completed. Barrier Reef Pools are committed to maintaining a very high standard of fibreglass swimming pool. Each pool has a corresponding manufacture sheet to ensure that the correct amount of quality material has been used in every pool.
