Create the Pool of Your Dreams
Gunite pools appeal to those who want complete control over what their pool will look like. This type of pool has a rebar framework sprayed with a mixture of sand and concrete. Our team of experts can create nearly any shape. If you want a custom-built pool and spa, a gunite pool is an ideal choice.
Advantages of Gunite Pools
One reason people choose gunite pools is that you can create various shapes and sizes, not to mention apply different finishes to achieve any style of swimming pool. It’s not just the shape of the pool itself, but even the sides and bottom. For example, you can choose a beach entry bottom that gently slopes down as it gets deeper, just like a real beach. This is particularly advantageous for older users of the swimming pool, as well as children and those with mobility issues. You can also add different water features like fountains, water bowls, deck jets, as well as real stone grottos and waterfalls. You can even add mood lighting in specific locations. Despite its flexibility, another reason is that gunite is also highly durable and can last a very long time. A custom swimming pool can also have a custom-built spa. We have many clients who asked us to install a custom spa, and they have been pleased with our work.
Disadvantages of Gunite Pools
Gunite pools do have their downsides. For instance, these can cost more than fiberglass pools. It takes longer to design and build a gunite pool, plus additional labor to complete it. That also means it takes more time to finish the project, anywhere between four to eight weeks. This is a project that has many steps, plus there are some factors and variables that may come into play during construction.
