Press Release • updated: Aug 26, 2019

Another groundbreaking innovation from the fiberglass pool industry's innovation leader

FORTVILLE, Ind., August 26, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Indiana fiberglass pool manufacturer Thursday Pools, a leader in innovation and design in the fiberglass pool industry, has received US Utility Patent No. 10,358,837 for their Beach Entry Fiberglass Pool designs. (The design is design patent-pending.)

“It’s immensely rewarding to receive the utility patent for the beach entry fiberglass pool because it’s the result of years of work from our product and design team,” said COO Ed Vondell. “Fiberglass pool owners have been asking for this feature, and we’re excited to be the first and only manufacturer to offer the option of a true beach entry, or zero-entry, fiberglass pool design.”

Thursday Pools is offering this innovation in two beach entry designs:

Grace: a rectangular beach entry design, available in three sizes.
Sandal: a freeform beach entry design, available in two sizes.

Benefits of the beach entry design include:

A gently sloping, non-skid pool entry that eliminates the need for stairs, allowing for easy entrance and exit.
A shallow spot for small children to play and for sunbathers to sit and enjoy both the sun’s rays and the cooling water.
The luxury feel of a high-end resort in the privacy of your own backyard.

“This season, several Thursday Pools dealers have installed one of our two new beach entry fiberglass pool designs. Their customers love the many features and having a day at the beach in their own backyards,” Vondell concluded
