You can purchase a quality Barrier Reef Pool with the peace of mind that these two large well funded companies are committed to building the best.

Barrier Reef is the only fibreglass pool manufacturer in the Southern Hemisphere that uses Divinycell in the construction of its pools. Placed on the outside of the pool in strips, it aides to strengthen the pool for installation. It is also totally impervious to water.

Because this product is the same as that used in the manufacture of boats and planes it is a very expensive product, but Barrier Reef only want the very best for their customers. You will find that every other manufacturer either uses cardboard, which is definitely not water resistant, or plastic. Neither have the capability to strengthen the pool to protect it during the times when it is being transported and installed.

Stage 1. Mould Preparation

The mould is cleaned to ensure it is in perfect condition before pools are made. All pool fittings are applied and recorded.

Stage 2. Aquaguard Gelcoat Application

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

Stage 3. Expoxy Vinyl Ester Application

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

Stage 4. Fibreglass Re-Lamination

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 materials has been used in every pool. Research and development in conjunction with our suppliers is a very high priority within our Company, and helps to ensure that our products are always modern and unique.
