Re: Extended "Storage" of a ingound fiberglass pool in Flori
Like JohnT said, a solid cover would be good if you don't plan on having someone take care of it while you are gone. I have seen vacant houses with pools of which someone built a framed top to cover the pool. It keeps people and other things out. Of course it will probably be pretty nasty when you do get home and will require cleaning. I've never worked on fiberglass pools so I am not sure if the gel coating would in any way get damaged being unused for long.
Also as mentioned, check for any city/county codes on pool closing and if you live in a deed restricted area, you better check with them as well.
