Project Spotlight: Fast Family Fiberglass Pool in Lehi

Location: Lehi, Utah (Holbrook Farms neighborhood)
Pool type: Fiberglass (Latham shell)
Size: 14 by 30 feet, with tanning shelf
Project budget: $98,000 turnkey
Timeline: 5 weeks signed-to-swim

The Challenge

A Silicon Slopes family with three school-age kids signed in early April. They wanted to swim by Memorial Day. The HOA required a complete plan submittal including 3D rendering, materials specification, and equipment placement plan.

Specific goals:

• Fast install — Memorial Day swim was the goal
• Family-friendly with depth gradient (not too deep for younger kids)
• Built-in tanning shelf for lounging
• Low-maintenance operation (busy two-career household)
• HOA-approvable on first submittal

The Design

Standard Latham 14 by 30 fiberglass shell with built-in tanning shelf at one end. Depth gradient from 3.5 feet to 5.5 feet — perfect for elementary-age swimmers but enough for adult swimming. Stamped concrete decking in a coordinated tone with the home’s exterior.

Equipment: Hayward TriStar VS pump, Hayward Universal H-Series gas heater, AquaRite salt chlorinator, OmniLogic basic automation, Universal ColorLogic LED light. Manual safety cover.

Construction Timeline

• Week 1: Final design + HOA submittal + permit pull
• Week 2: HOA approval received (clean first submission), excavation completed
• Week 3: Shell delivery + crane set + plumbing + backfill
• Week 4: Coping + decking + equipment install
• Week 5: Fill, balance, pool school, first swim

What Made It Work

Three things kept this project on its 5-week schedule:

1. Clean HOA submittal package — approved on first review (this is what kills most fast-track projects)
2. Standard Latham shell that was already in stock at the manufacturer
3. Crew availability — we’d reserved their slot in February

What the Family Said

“We thought we’d be looking at next summer when we started. Peak Pools delivered exactly what they promised — Memorial Day swim. The kids haven’t been out of the pool since.” — Holbrook Farms homeowner
