FAQs to consider before purchasing your fiberglass pool

We’re a locally owned and operated company proudly serving Orangeburg and surrounding South Carolina communities. Our team specializes exclusively in fiberglass pool installations, which means you get expert-level craftsmanship from start to finish. We offer personalized service, fast installation timelines, and an unwavering commitment to quality. At Tri County Pools, you’re more than just a project—you’re our neighbor.

Fiberglass pools are a smart investment for many reasons:

Quick installation — most projects completed in 2–3 weeks

Low maintenance — smooth, non-porous surfaces resist algae and reduce chemical use

Long-lasting durability — won’t crack, chip, or need resurfacing like concrete

Comfort — softer underfoot and skin-friendly for swimmers

Aesthetic variety — choose from a wide range of colors, shapes, and features

Once permits are secured and your site is prepped, most fiberglass pools can be installed and ready to use within 2 to 3 weeks. Because the pool shell arrives pre-formed, the process is faster and less disruptive compared to traditional gunite or vinyl pool builds.
We take a hands-on, personalized approach. Every project starts with a free on-site consultation where we listen to your goals, assess your space, and develop a custom design that fits your lifestyle. We use 3D design tools to help you visualize your future pool and surrounding outdoor living area before construction begins.
