An elegant outdoor living space incorporates many of the comforts and conveniences you enjoy inside your home. It can also include features that aren’t typically found indoors. One of these is an inground pool. Whether you already have a pool and it’s in need of an upgrade or you are considering adding one to your outdoor living space, a gunite pool can be a great option.

What is Gunite?

Gunite is a mixture of cement, sand, and water applied through a pressure hose, producing a dense hard layer of concrete. Its original mixture has been refined and it has had various applications throughout the last century. Inground pools are one of these applications. Due to their many advantages, gunite pools are becoming a popular choice.

Durability

Having an inground pool installed is a big investment. You want it to last a long time. A gunite pool is one of the most durable options. They typically last longer than other types of inground pools. Because of this, gunite pools often come with the best warranties. While gunite pools are a bit more expensive, their long lasting durability makes them well worth it.

Ease of Construction

As opposed to traditional concrete pools, gunite pools are easier to construct. With a longer construction time, a concrete pool’s quality can be compromised by extended exposure to environmental elements such as extreme outdoor temperatures. With gunite pool construction, the rebar framework is sprayed with the concrete and sand mixture. The process is quicker, providing a shorter construction time and allowing for less variability.

Custom Design

Because gunite pools are custom made, they offer more flexibility in design than prefabricated pools. First and foremost, a gunite pool can be designed to fit perfectly into your existing landscape. They can be made in any shape or size so you won’t have to redesign your landscape when having a gunite pool installed.

The construction method of a gunite pool makes it easy to add amenities like underwater benches, built-in bar stools, tanning ledges, and more. With a gunite pool, you can also incorporate features like waterfalls and spas, adding a bit of natural elegance.

You can further customize a gunite pool with a wide variety of finishes and colors. If you are going for a high-end look, you can even choose finishes created from glass or pebbles.
