Why Ours Look Different
Anybody Can Drop a Shell in a Hole.
A fiberglass pool gets judged on two things no brochure photo shows you: what’s under the shell, and what runs along the waterline. Start at the Jenks pool builder hubif you’re still deciding on a type, then come back here once fiberglass is the direction.
The waterline gets tile
Tile on a fiberglass shell is rare in this market because the angled wall makes it hard to set. We do it on every Jenks build, and it's the detail that gets a fiberglass pool mistaken for gunite.
Gravel base, not clay
Jenks clay holds water against a wall and moves with it season to season. We set the shell on compacted gravel instead, so the base drains and stays put.
We backfill as we fill
Gravel goes in one layer at a time as the pool fills with water, so pressure never gets ahead of itself on either side of the wall.
We plan for groundwater
Parts of Jenks sit over the Arkansas River aquifer. A relief valve goes in where the lot calls for one.
One equipment brand, no upsell
We run Jandy variable-speed pumps and filters on every shell, not just the ones that pay for an upgrade.
Skimmers face the wind
Wind in this part of Oklahoma runs southeast to northwest most of the year, and river-bottom lots in Jenks often have less tree cover to block it. Skimmers go on the northwest wall so the wind pushes debris toward them instead of away.
The EvoPools Lineup
The EvoPools Fiberglass Pool Models We Install in Jenks Backyards
No two Jenks lots pick the same shell. A narrow side yard, a slope toward the back fence, a big custom-home lot — Jason matches the model to what your yard actually gives him to work with, not the other way around.

Design It With JasonStraight Talk
Is Fiberglass Right for Your Jenks Yard?
We build gunite and vinyl pools too, so there’s no reason to steer you toward the wrong one.
The mold decides the shape
A fiberglass shell comes out of a mold, so if you're picturing something drawn from scratch, a swim-up bar, or a grotto in the wall, that's a gunite conversation, and we'll tell you that up front.
The catalog has a ceiling
Whatever ships on a flatbed has a width limit. If you're picturing a wide entertaining pool with room for a crowd, some Jenks lots are better served by a shape built on site.
Access can kill it
A one-piece shell has to reach the backyard. Narrow side yards in older Jenks neighborhoods can mean a crane, and a crane costs real money.
Availability isn't guaranteed
A shell already in the warehouse ships fast. One that has to be molded to order adds real weeks. Jason confirms which one you're getting before you sign anything.
Cost of Ownership
What a Fiberglass Swimming Pool Costs to Own in Jenks
Everybody focuses on the purchase price. The real advantage of fiberglass shows up later, in what it costs to actually run — and that’s the part most builders leave out of the conversation.
Less to fight with chemically
Algae needs something to grip, and a plaster surface gives it plenty. Gel coat doesn't, which is why most Jenks fiberglass owners run noticeably less chlorine than a neighbor with a plaster pool.
The pump is where the bill lives
Nothing else on a pool runs as many hours as the pump. A variable-speed model set low for long stretches uses a fraction of what a single-speed pump burns wide open, and we program that schedule at pool school.
No resurfacing bill down the road
Plaster eventually needs to be redone. A vinyl liner gets replaced on a 7-to-12-year cycle. A gel coat shell does neither, and that's most of where the long-term savings come from.
The truth about salt
Plenty of Jenks buyers ask for salt because they believe it means no chlorine. It does not — a salt system makes chlorine on site through electrolysis. The water feels softer and you stop hauling jugs, and those are real benefits. Just know what you are buying.
The Build
Everything That Matters Gets Buried
There are six phases to a build, and the two that determine whether your pool still looks good in fifteen years happen before anyone pours a deck.
Site visit and permit
Jason walks the lot, checks access and drainage, and measures for the Jenks permit office on the same trip. We file the pool permit form and the HOA package.
Excavation and base
We mark the shape in the yard, walk it with you one more time, then dig. The gravel base goes in compacted and level before the shell ever gets near the hole.
Shell set and plumb
The shell goes in, gets checked for level in every direction, then gets plumbed and bonded. Water and backfill start going in together from here.
Tile, coping, deck, rock
Waterline tile goes on first, then coping, then decking, then any hand-stacked stone. Order matters — tile after coping is how it comes out crooked.
Startup and pool school
We balance the water, pass inspection, and program the pump. You leave knowing how to run every system, not guessing.
Safety and handoff
Oklahoma's minimum is a self-closing, self-latching barrier. We build past that minimum and walk you through the federal guidelines before handoff.
Jenks
What the Ground Under Jenks Does to a Shell
Two things are happening under a Jenks backyard at once, and a rushed install ignores both of them.
Red clay moves
Northeast Oklahoma clay swells with spring rain and shrinks in July heat. It moves every year, and it moves against anything buried in it. Gravel under and around the shell keeps that movement off the wall.
The river is close
Jenks sits next to the Arkansas River. Lots on the low side can hold shallow groundwater, and groundwater pushes up on an empty shell. That is the failure mode we design around from the first visit.
Neighborhoods we build in
Cedar Ridge, Buffalo Run, Walnut Creek, Westchester, The Preserve, Cherokee Hills, Heritage Pointe, Campbell Estates, Riverview, and the 96th Street corridor. Every Jenks zip code.
Real Tulsa Homeowners
What Tulsa Homeowners Who’ve Worked with Jason Had To Say
Most of these homeowners were told a fiberglass pool couldn't be tiled, or wouldn't survive Jenks clay. They were told wrong. Read all Google reviews →
“Jason with Silverado Rock Outdoor Living is absolutely the best! He makes sure everything is done right and is in control of the job from start to finish. He makes sure you as a home owner understand everything and every step. We are so happy and grateful that we found him to do our back yard oasis. Thank you Jason for everything!”
PHIL TRIPP · Tulsa

From Jason
Don't Buy the Shell. Buy the Installation.
The shell is the easy part. Anybody can drop one in a hole. What separates a pool that still looks great in fifteen years from one that doesn't is what happens around it. The gravel base. The backfill. Where the water goes when it rains. That's the work nobody sees and it's the work that matters.
And get the tile. I know it's an upcharge. Everybody around here tells you that you can't tile a fiberglass pool, and what they mean is they don't know how. I'll show you a tiled fiberglass pool next to a gunite pool and you won't be able to tell me which is which from ten feet away.
One more thing. If you're anywhere near the river in Jenks, tell me before I come out. I'll plan for the water table from day one instead of finding out about it with a shovel. That's not an upsell. That's doing it right the first time.
That's my name on the truck. It's on your EvoPools shell too.
Jason's Promise
EvoPools' Lifetime Structural Warranty on the shell, plus my own warranty on the install. And me, on your job, start to finish.
Common Questions
Fiberglass Pools in Jenks, Answered
How much does a fiberglass pool cost in Jenks, OK?
A compact EvoPools shell starts at $45,000. Most mid-size fiberglass pools in the Jenks and Tulsa area finish between $55,000 and $90,000 with equipment, coping, and concrete decking. Rock work, expanded decking, and waterline tile move the number. Jason quotes your yard after he walks it, and that quoted price is fixed unless the excavator hits buried rock.
How long does a fiberglass pool take to build in Jenks?
Two to three weeks for the Jenks permit, then 4 to 6 weeks of active construction once the shell is delivered. Shell lead time from the factory is the variable nobody controls, so Jason confirms availability before you sign. A gunite pool in the same yard runs three to six months.
Will a fiberglass pool hold up in Oklahoma clay?
Yes, when it is set correctly. The shell sits on a compacted gravel base rather than raw clay, because gravel drains and clay holds water against the wall. Backfill goes in with gravel as the pool fills with water, so pressure stays even on both sides of the shell the entire time.
What about groundwater in Jenks near the river?
Parts of Jenks sit over the Arkansas River alluvial aquifer, and shallow groundwater pushes up on an empty shell. That is the most common cause of fiberglass failure in this region. We install a hydrostatic relief valve where the site calls for one and plan lot drainage before excavation. Tell Jason if your lot sits low.
Can you put tile on a fiberglass pool?
Yes. Silverado Rock installs waterline tile on fiberglass shells, which almost no builder in the Tulsa metro will do. The angled walls make it difficult. A tiled waterline is the single detail that makes a fiberglass pool read as a custom pool from across the yard.
Do I need a permit for a fiberglass pool in Jenks?
Yes. Jenks requires a building permit for any inground pool, and pools deeper than four feet carry a depth-based setback. We file the full submission, including the plot plan and the HOA package where a neighborhood requires one.
Should I choose fiberglass or gunite?
Fiberglass fits a flat or gently sloped lot, the fastest build, and the lowest maintenance load, with shape limited to the shell catalog. Gunite fits a fully custom shape, a vanishing edge, or a steep lot, and costs more and takes longer. We build both, so there is no reason to push you either way.
What brand of fiberglass shell does Silverado Rock install?
Silverado Rock builds with EvoPools shells. EvoPools builds its shells with vinyl ester resin in every layer and backs them with a Lifetime Structural Warranty and a Lifetime Structural Osmosis Warranty. Jason matches a model to your lot size, access, and budget, and reviews the current written terms with you before you sign.
Do fiberglass pools survive Oklahoma freeze and thaw?
Yes. A fiberglass shell flexes rather than cracking, which is why it handles freeze and thaw cycles well. The shell is not the risk in an Oklahoma winter. The equipment is. We winterize the pad and walk you through the process at handoff so nothing freezes and splits.
Does a fiberglass pool add value to my home?
A finished pool with decking, coping, and tile reads as part of the house to a buyer. A bare shell in a patch of grass does not. Resale value tracks the quality of the whole backyard, not the pool alone, which is why we price decking and finish work into the project instead of leaving it to another contractor.
