No, because fiberglass can make you slip unlike concrete steps
Yes, fiberglass pools have a smooth finish. Where a concrete pool was a pourus and rougher finish that gives alge something to grab on to. Also staining it. A low calcium level can pit a concrete pool, not a fiberglass, plus a fiberglass pool is more flexible,so ground movement wont crack it. In the long run the extra money you pay for fiberglass is worth it.
Fiberglass. Over time concrete stains and can become rough, where fiberglass retains its smooth texture. Fiberglass will also give you more options.
the cost for fiberglass pools are chaeper and easier to install.concrete pools are easier to maintain.a fiberglass pool may run you 3,000 to 10,000. A concrete pool run you 12,000 to 30,000 depending on the size and area of residence
No as long as the skimmer section of the pool is properly supported like the rest of the pool

Fiberglass is because concrete will crack Yes I agree also, because we had a concrete pool when I was growing up and we were always repairing leaks, maybe the pool was just bad, but now that we purchased a fiberglass pool. We love the pool and it does not require much maintenance. We're going on 6 years with the pool and it still looks new.
There are three important construction methods for a swimming pool: concrete, vinyl liner and fiberglass. The most used construnction method for a swimming pool is concrete.
Fiberglass pool shells are shipped in a single piece directly from the manufacturer. As a result, you don't actually linea pool with fiberglass the way you would with concrete or vinyl. Instead, installing a fiberglass pool simply means digging a hole in which to place the already completed shell.
Be more specific please- what about removing it? cost? difficulty? What type of pool is it? fiberglass? vinyl liner? concrete?
What type of surface is it? Concrete, Vinyl or fiberglass? If you have a vinyl or fiberglass pool and it is rough it is probably calcium that has precipitated out of the water you will need to have your pool water analyzed by a professional swimming pool company. If your pool is concrete it could be calcium also or it could be an etching of the concrete both are related to water chemistry and the same professional analysis would need to be performed to resolve the issue.
Fiberglass swimming pools are easier to maintain, repair, and are less costly to install.
