Exclusive Features of the Gibraltar Pool™
A Patent-Protected Pool Engineered for New England Backyards
The Gibraltar Pool™ isn't an off-the-shelf on-ground pool. It's a patent-protected design backed by six U.S. Government patents, recognized as a design winner by the National Spa and Pool Institute (NSPI), the industry’s leading trade association now known as the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP), and featured in Good Housekeeping magazine. No other on-ground pool in New England holds that combination of industry recognition. As the pioneer of rectangular on-ground swimming pools in this region, Gibraltar Pools has spent more than 40 years and three generations of family ownership engineering features you won't find anywhere else on the market. Pools we built in the early years of the company are still in regular use today, which says more than any spec sheet can.
Homeowners comparing on-ground and semi-inground pool brands deserve straight answers about what’s actually different. Call (978) 759-4445 to schedule your free, no-obligation backyard survey and see the Gibraltar Pools difference in person.
Wall Construction Built for New England’s Freeze-Thaw Climate
Every Gibraltar Pool™ is constructed with insulated aluminum panels engineered for strength and thermal efficiency. Resin and standard plastic pool walls dry out, become brittle, and crack over time, particularly under the freeze-thaw cycling that backyards see every winter. The Gibraltar Pool™ wall system is built to resist warping, bowing, cracking, and corrosion through New England’s full seasonal range, year after year, without refinishing or structural repair. Six U.S. Government patents cover the engineering behind the wall system, so competing manufacturers can’t copy these design decisions.
The Gibraltar Safety View™ Liner
The Gibraltar Safety View™ liner is a 22-mil winterized virgin vinyl liner built with a proprietary patented liner-fit system designed for longer liner life. It’s treated to resist fading from UV rays and degradation from pool chemicals, and it incorporates deterioration-prevention features not found on standard vinyl liners. What truly sets it apart is the liner’s design: the water’s edge is clearly visible from both inside and outside the pool, which can improve your ability to monitor swimmers at a glance.
The aesthetic details reinforce the safety story. The Safety View liner includes a tile-print border and a terrazzo marble floor design that give the pool a finished, in-ground appearance while preserving the clarity that makes swimmer monitoring practical rather than incidental.
Finished Metal & Safety-Forward Design at Every Contact Point
No other pool on the market finishes every piece of touchable metal. The Gibraltar Pool™ has no rough or sharp edges anywhere on its surface. That standard extends to the entry system: rather than the unstable ladder common on other on-ground pools, the Gibraltar Pool™ features a walk-up staircase that provides a solid, stair-like entry for swimmers of all ages. Heavy-duty stainless steel in-pool ladders are also included. These aren’t optional upgrades. They reflect the same safety-first engineering philosophy that runs through every component of the pool.
The Alum-A-Clad™ Decking System
The proprietary Alum-A-Clad™ patio decking system completely surrounds the pool on all four sides, so you won’t need to build a separate wooden deck to make the pool usable. That’s a meaningful cost and maintenance difference. Other on-ground pool decks are prone to separating from the pool wall over time, leaving unsafe gaps between the deck and the water. The Alum-A-Clad™ system is permanently custom-fitted to the pool wall to help prevent pull-away or shifting.
The deck surface isn’t carpeted, so it won’t trap moisture or grow mold and mildew through the wet New England seasons. The same decking material is used by leading yacht makers as boat decking. The Alum-A-Clad system is a standard inclusion bundled with every Gibraltar Pool™, not an optional add-on. No other on-ground pool brand includes a full four-sided decking system as standard.
Dual Filtration That Cuts Maintenance Time in Half
The Gibraltar Pool™ dual filtration system filters twice the water at twice the rate of ordinary pools and can cut electrical operation times in half. The system continuously circulates and filters water throughout the pool, reducing the need for daily vacuuming and manual cleaning. The walls, liner, and decking require no seasonal painting or refinishing. Routine maintenance stays focused on what it should be: testing and balancing water chemistry and cleaning the skimmer baskets.
What Owning a Gibraltar Pool™ Looks Like
Every Gibraltar Pool™ is backed by the strongest manufacturer’s warranties in the swimming pool industry, protecting you against defective materials or workmanship. Most installations are completed in a single day, with a dedicated project manager available throughout the process so nothing we do is a mystery. Once your pool is in, we provide complimentary Pool School to walk you through operation, maintenance, and safety features so you’re ready from day one.
It starts with a free, no-obligation backyard survey. A factory-trained team member comes to your home, evaluates the site, takes precise measurements, and walks you through every design option and component at no cost and with no pressure to buy. We serve communities throughout Essex County, including Andover, Beverly, Danvers, Gloucester, Haverhill, Ipswich, Lawrence, Lynn, Marblehead, Peabody, Salem, and Topsfield, as well as all of New England.
Ready to see these features in person? Visit our showroom on Route One in Topsfield, MA, the region’s largest display of semi-inground pools and spas, or call (978) 759-4445 to schedule your free backyard survey today.
