Meet Your Gold Coast Pool Builder

Shane Griffith

Over the last 17 years I have been heavily involved in the pool industry as the agent manager for Barrier Reef Pools Head Office at Beaudesert. During the last 5 years I have also been the site supervisor for pool installations at Barrier Reef. Over this time frame, I have supervised over 170 pools in around Boonah, Jimboomba, New Beith, Beaudesert and surrounds areas.

My aim is to exceed customer expectations and to deliver old fashion service. You will be dealing with a hands on builder from the original site inspection right through the whole process until project completion. We wish to provide our customers with a unique personalised pool experience. The quality will be remembered long after the price is forgotten and our future will be built on our referrals.

A whole range of testing has been carried out at the Barrier Reef Pools factory to ensure all these above ground pools comply with Australian and Industry standards.

Similar to our inground range of Fibreglass Pools, all the above ground pools are built to meet our prestigious 5 tick product certified standards.
