Yes you can. And with great results. We had our gunite pool fiberglassed over about 10 years ago. A local company had glassed over several pools in the area including some at motels. We paid about $6500 including all new deck coating. The company used fiberglass mat and resin for the pool and some kind of waterproof resin material for the deck. The deck still looks like new, but I am going to repaint the pool next year.

Hum, I am not an expert on this but it seems to me that the vessel would need lots of support to keep from flexing with the weight and with heavy use.

what is the approx.cost of a fiberglass pool and is it better than an above ground?

Far superior to an above ground pool, the fiberglass pool is still not cheap. If you install it yourself, depending on the various options, you will spend $12,000-$30,000. Add another $8,000-$20,000 to have it and a concrete barrier installed by a company.

Should a vinyl or fiberglass pool be installed in Minnesota and why?

Generally a vinyl lined pool is installed in MN due to the frost line. Heaving could theoretically push an entire fiberglass pool out of the ground. Also fiberglass pools are more limited in size thatn a lined pool, which are basically limited only by your imagination as liners can be custon fit for any pool if measurements are done correctly.

Can you drain a fiberglass in ground swimming pool?

No!!! Under no circumstances should you drain a fiberglass in-ground pool. Unlike the standard in-ground pool, the fiberglass pool base is unreinforced concrete or other hard surface material that was applied directly to the soil in a thin layer. It is only there to allow the fiberglass to be sprayed on and form a hard shell. The weight of the water is what holds the fiberglass in place. If you drain the pool without refilling it immediately, you will allow external ground pressures and/or ground water to buckle the sides or bottom and you will have the fiberglass completely redone.
