Many homeowners who are considering a concrete pool as their pool installation choice often opt for a gunite pool. This is mainly due to the versatility and durability of gunite pools.

Benefits of a Gunite Pool Installation
As previously mentioned, one of the paramount benefits of installing a gunite pool is their versatility. Gunite pools can be built to virtually any form or size, allowing you to have just the perfect size and shape of pool for your outdoor living environment. This means you don’t have to redesign your landscape around your pool; you may build your pool to blend in with your existing landscaping.
The Gunite Pool Installation Process
Consumers prefer a gunite pool as their pool installation material of choice because of how durable they are. Typically a gunite pool lasts for generations. While there are many variances in how gunite pools are installed, each installation will involve bringing heavy equipment into the backyard.
What to Expect During Your Installation
Your backyard will be an active construction site for the duration of the project. The actual excavation of your pool is an important part of the installation process. You’ll want to be there on the day of dig not only to ensure everything goes smoothly but because frankly, it’s pretty fantastic to watch.
- The area where the pool will be installed is excavated and framed for a high strength rebar framework. To reinforce your pool construction the rebar forms a grid around the perimeter of your pool and/or spa.
- The steel rebar framework is sprayed with a high-pressure mixture of sand and cement called Gunite. As the pool builder sprays a thick coat of gunite around the rebar, you’ll start to see your idea come to life.
- An experienced nozzleman uses a high-velocity spray which compacts the mixture, resulting in more concrete per cubic yard and a highly durable pool shell.
- After that, the gunite is smoothed and allowed time to properly cure.
Advantages of Gunite Inground Pools
Another significant advantage of Gunite pools is that owners can choose from a variety of finishes to help coordinate the concept of their outdoor living space.
When it comes to extra features, there are plenty to choose from when choosing Gunite as your swimming pool material. Waterfalls, sunbathing ledges, grottos, bar stools, custom staircases, and seats are examples of these.
Regardless of your personal taste or budget, a Gunite installation allows you to extend the design of your existing area with your new Gunite swimming pool. As a result, a Gunite pool installation is one of the most popular among homeowners.
Consider Your Pool Interior Options
Plaster, quartz, glass, and pebble are the most typical interior finishes that you’ll find in modern pool installations. While plaster is the most cost effective to install, it degrades the quickest and has a rougher feel to the hands and feet than say a pebble or glass interior.
Believe it or not, while a pebble interior finish may cost more to install initially, they are the most cost-effective and low-maintenance option overall. In addition, you’ll enjoy a more luxurious look and feel for your pool installation.
Choosing a Builder for Your Pool Installation
When it comes to extra features, there are plenty to choose from when choosing Gunite as your swimming pool material. Waterfalls, sunbathing ledges, grottos, bar stools, custom staircases, and seats are examples of fantastic water features homeowners choose to add to their pool installation when customizing a pool.
Regardless of your personal taste or budget, a Gunite installation allows you to extend the design of your existing area with your new Gunite swimming pool. As a result, a Gunite pool installation is one of the most popular among homeowners.
