Off-season for waterparks, typically October-April, is a great time to update the park’s infrastructure, perform any maintenance that needs to be done, and install new attractions. Building new attractions with Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) and structural fiberglass for waterparks offers a multitude of benefits, such as enhanced durability, improved safety, and significant cost savings. FRP and fiberglass can be used to create slide towers, decking, egress stair towers, handrails, walkways, and more.
Increase Safety with a Slip-Resistant Surface – In a waterpark, there are many wet surfaces and children running around. This can quickly become a slip-and-fall hazard. When a surface is constructed of fiberglass, the textured surface adds friction and grip, reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
Great for High Traffic Areas – Fiberglass is a strong, durable material. It can stand up against heavy foot traffic in a waterpark. The material is also abrasion-resistant and corrosion-resistant, adding to its strength.
Save on Maintenance Costs – FRP and fiberglass can help lower your waterpark’s long-term maintenance costs. The material is inherently resistant to many environmental factors like corrosion, weather, and UV damage. It is a non-porous material so it is also stain and mildew resistant. Due to its durability, it is less susceptible to wear and tear. Because of its low-maintenance properties, occasional cleaning with soap and water is the most that is usually required for fiberglass structures.

Customizable – Fiberglass for waterparks can be completely customized to fit your space and park’s theme. Our team can replace pieces that are already in your park or build new ones. Fiberglass is available in many different colors, allowing you to build vibrant and colorful installations that are great for attracting families.
Outperforms Other Materials – Fiberglass for waterparks is quickly becoming the preferred material because of all the benefits the material offers. FRP outperforms materials traditionally used in waterparks like wood, concrete, steel, and plastic. These other materials can warp, rot, corrode, rust, degrade, and can require constant repairs. When you choose FRP, you won’t have to worry about your park’s infrastructure wearing down and causing safety concerns.
Building your waterpark’s infrastructure from FRP adds an extra layer of safety for your visitors and offers you a low-maintenance solution. To learn more about why fiberglass for waterparks is a great option, contact us through our website here or check out our resources page here.
