How are Concrete Gunite Pools Built?

When you decide to install your new Gunite Pool, what should you expect from the construction process.

• The first step in a Pool project is the design phase – Our partners will sit down with you and create a design that fits your garden and needs.
• Digging the hole – Next will be digging the hole according to the design plans. Whenever possible our partners will employ the use of excavation equipment but if there is no access to the pool area it will have to be dug by hand.
• Installation of pipes and plumbing – The workers will begin to lay down the plumbing for the pool.
• Steel reinforcement cage – Once the plumbing is in place the builders will start to build a cage reinforcement structure that will be used to hold the concrete in place when spraying the granite and reinforce the structure so it lasts for many years to come.
• Gunite blasting – Gunite will be sprayed onto the steel cage layer by layer forming the finished shape of the pool.
• Finishing and painting of the Pool – After the Pools have been finished with Gunite and any small imperfections have been fixed the pool company will add the finishing touches like pool stone surrounds and paint the pool for a beautiful finish.

Advantages of Choosing a Gunite or Concrete Pool

There are many advantages to choosing a Gunite Pool:

• Customs designs – You can change the shape and design of the pool to suit your needs and fit perfectly in your backyard
• Choose the Pool finish – Different paint colours and customs stone patterns and mosaic tiles are just some of the options you have.
• Built to last – Granite pools last a very long time and normally come with the best warranties. When properly maintained gunite pools will last for decades to come. There are many gunite pools that are older than 50 years that are still in service.
• Gunite pools are Hardwearing – Not only are gunite pools built to last for many years they are also very tough compared to vinyl and fiberglass pools that puncture more easily. Gunite pools are employed in business settings where vandalism is a worry because of their impact resilience and lack of a liner.
• Flexibility for additional amenities – Because Gunite Pools are custom designed adding amenities like underwater lighting, underwater benches, tanning ledges, and water features are all easily incorporated into the design.
