  • What Is a Gunite Pool?

    A gunite pool is a concrete pool built using a dry-mix method, where a blend of cement, sand, and water is sprayed at high velocity over a steel rebar framework. It's known for being:


    • Extremely durable
    • Highly customizable
    • Ideal for luxury or complex pool designs 
  • How Are Gunite Pools Built?

    1. Excavation – The pool shape is dug into the ground.
    2. Rebar Framework – A steel skeleton is built for support.
    3. Plumbing & Electrical – Laid out before concrete application.
    4. Gunite Application – The concrete is sprayed over the rebar.
    5. Curing – Concrete is kept moist and allowed to cure (~28 days).
    6. Finishing – Tile, coping, and interior finish (like plaster or PebbleTec) are applied.
    7. Decking & Startup – Pool deck is poured and pool is filled and balanced.
  • Advantages of Gunite Pools

    • Customization: Any shape, depth, or feature (e.g., beach entries, waterfalls, spas).
    • Longevity: Can last decades with proper care.
    • Strength: Superior structural integrity due to rebar + concrete combo.
    • Luxury Appeal: Preferred for upscale and resort-style designs.
  • Disadvantages

    • Higher Cost: More expensive than vinyl or fiberglass pools.
    • Longer Installation Time: 6–12 weeks or more.
    • Surface Maintenance: Plaster can wear or stain over time; resurfacing needed every 10–15 years.
    • Can Crack: Minor surface cracks may appear but are usually cosmetic.
  • Popular Finish Options

    • Plaster (White or Colored)
    • Pebble Finishes (like PebbleTec)
    • Glass Beads or Tile
  • Maintenance Needs

    • Regular brushing (especially during first 30 days)
    • Balanced chemistry to prevent scaling or etching
    • Occasional acid washing and eventual resurfacing

    Gunite pools are best for homeowners looking for maximum customization and long-term value, even if the upfront cost and time investment are higher.
