Licensed installer will be installing it. My husband knows the installer well, the payment terms for the shell just seem strange to me. This is our first pool so unsure of what the norm is, I should have asked more questions up front, which is completely on me. I just worry about the pool...

Hoping people can weigh in on this. Our new FG pool is being delivered in a few weeks. We had to put 50% down as a deposit. I assumed the other 50% would be due at time of delivery (my fault for making any assumptions). I'm being told we have to pay the remaining 50% + $3K in shipping now...

Hi - I know I'm digging up an old thread but we are planning a DIY of a fiberglass pool, with the help of a certified dealer/installer. I'm so impressed by your work! Long story short but we have an opportunity to get the shell at cost, and all equipment at dealer costs, with the labor...
