Just because our pools are preformed in a factory doesn’t mean you can’t customise them to suit your backyard and personal taste. There are many ways you can change and enhance your Compass pool to create a truly unique design.
Our Pools Can be Installed Partially or Completely Above the Ground
Thanks to our innovative Maxi Rib technology, a Compass Pool can be installed on almost any site. Maxi Rib technology means your Compass Ceramic Fibreglass pool can be installed as an above ground pool. It provides the necessary support for your pool shell in any situation.
What is Maxi Rib Technology?
The Maxi Rib system is a unique technology which is only available with Compass Pools. Essentially we use a rib-like structure to provide the necessary support to enable the pool to be installed above ground on a concrete platform or on prepared natural ground. This means that sloping or difficult sites can easily be catered for, making above ground fibreglass pools a reality.
A Maxi Rib Could Help You to Save Thousands of Dollars
Typically installing swimming pools on sloping sites is fraught with difficulty and added engineering expenses. The invention of Maxi Rib has meant that Compass Pools can offer a relatively straight forward solution. Because Maxi Rib pools have been installed on many different sites we know exactly what to do to make your pool project simple to manage and cost effective. More attractive to future buyers – Compass offers the added benefit of having a completely automated cleaning system.
3 Ways to Install Your Compass Fibreglass Pool
Depending on your site conditions and your preferences, these three options are available for new Compass fibreglass pool owners.
1. Inground Pools
The most common option to install your new Compass fibreglass pool. Most (almost) flat sites allow us to install pools fully inground. This helps to optimise the pool installation cost.
2. Partial Above the Ground Pool Installation
If your site is not completely flat, you might need (or benefit from) an partially above ground pool installation. We will advise you on the best option for your site after you arrange a site inspection with us. There are a few standard solutions available in this scenario which include our drop-edge coping beam or the Maxi Liteâ„¢ system. Using these system, your pool water level can sit up to 1m above ground. They are great solutions assisting you to meet the height of an existing deck, retaining wall or other raised are in your backyard with your pool.
3. Completely Above Ground Pools
You do not need to switch to a concrete pool if your pool needs to sit significantly above the natural ground level, nor you need to conduct major earthworks or build retaining walls.
The unique Maxi Rib system, exclusive to Compass Pools, eliminates the need for expensive ground works or complicated concrete designs. In most cases, installing a Compass Maxi Rib Pool will be more cost effective than the added earthworks/retaining or concrete pool alternatives.

The Rising Popularity of Fibreglass Above Ground Pools
Fibreglass above ground pools have gained popularity in recent years due to their durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Unlike traditional above ground pools made of metal or plastic, fibreglass pools are made of a smooth, non-porous material that resists corrosion, fading, and staining. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours to suit any backyard. Fibreglass pools are also easy to install and do not require regular resurfacing like concrete pools. Additionally, their smooth surface provides a comfortable swim experience and helps to reduce the growth of algae. With these benefits, it’s no wonder why fibreglass above ground pools are a popular choice for homeowners looking to enhance their outdoor living space. Overall, above ground fibreglass pools are a practical, low-maintenance, and attractive option for those looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
The Advantages of Above Ground Fibreglass Pools
Above ground fibreglass pools offer several advantages over other types of above ground and in-ground pools. Firstly, they are easier and quicker to install as compared to traditional in-ground pools, which can take several weeks to complete. Secondly, fibreglass pools are durable and long-lasting, as the fibreglass material is resistant to cracks, chips, and other forms of damage. Thirdly, fibreglass pools require minimal maintenance as compared to concrete or vinyl liner pools, which often require regular resurfacing or liner replacement. Fourthly, fibreglass pools offer a smooth and comfortable swimming experience, with a non-abrasive surface that is less likely to cause skin irritation. Lastly, fibreglass pools come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colours, making it easier to find a pool that fits the specific needs and aesthetic preferences of the homeowner.
