Pools

If you’re in the market for a pool, you may be wondering which type of pool is best to invest in. There are three different types of inground pools available, gunite, fiberglass and vinyl liner. When it comes to choosing a pool building material that’s meant to last, gunite is your best option. So what makes a gunite pool so great? 

Gunite is Long-Lasting

Building a pool isn’t something you do every day. When you install a pool in your home, you want it to last for a very long time with minimum upkeep. And when it comes to durability, nothing beats concrete. Unlike other materials like fiberglass and vinyl liner, you don’t need a wooden frame to hold the pool’s shape.

Additionally, gunite pools stay in shape the longest and have the best warranties. So even if you have any minor issues with your pool, you’ll be well-covered. Overall, if your focus is on long-term durability, gunite is the best pool building material for you.

Design For Your Property

Gunite pools are built on site, which makes them a great option in an effort to complement your home, fit well within your backyard and match your aesthetic. So what does this mean for you?

Since you’re building every step of the pool from scratch, you can create a perfect design for your yard. You get to pick what shape you want your pool to be and how big you want it. Once you have your design, your pool builder will fit the pool perfectly within the confines of your backyard space, leaving you with an outdoor living space that your pool will fit perfectly into your home and your existing landscaping, unless you want to. 

Completely Customizable

Since experts will build your Gunite pools from start to finish in your backyard, the possibilities are endless. This type of pool is highly customizable. That freedom is for more than size and shape. You have a wide range of amenities to choose from. From built-in barstools to well designed underwater benches, you can customize every part of your pool to fit your needs. You can even add a tanning ledge. 

Additionally, you can make your pool as extravagant as you want. Whether that’s with streams, waterfalls, or spas is up to you. Once the concrete sets and your Gunite pool is ready, you can choose your own finish. The final layer of the process is a special type of plaster that comes in a wide range of colors and textures. Some builders will even add colored quartz to add further strength to the top layer. You can also use other materials like pebbles or glass, to create a certain aesthetic look for your pool.
