Stair-Free Swimming Pools

The Beach Entry Fiberglass Pool Boasts a Gently Sloping Design

Thursday Pools recently received a patent for its innovative Beach Entry Fiberglass Pool, which introduces a zero-entry fiberglass pool design. The two designs from Thursday Pools include the rectangular Grace and the freeform Sandal, both of which introduce a gradually sloping, non-skid entry that completely removes the need for stairs for entering and exiting the swimming pool.

Thanks to the shape of its design, the fiberglass pool naturally has a shallow area for kids to play and sunbathers to enjoy both the sun's rays and the refreshment of the water. According to Indiana-based Thursday Pools, many fiberglass pool owners have been asking for this unique design feature for years and it is now setting itself apart as a manufacturer of true zero-entry fiberglass pool designs.

The Beach Entry Fiberglass Pool may inspire the creation and manufacturing of zero entry pools, particularly for families and seniors with mobility issues.
