Gunite Pool Installation Columbus OH

Construction Process

  1. We will begin your installation by digging out the shape of your pool, customized just the way you want it.
  2. Next, we'll install rebar reinforcements and place all the necessary plumbing.
  3. The next step involves spraying a heavy coating of gunite—a special sand and concrete mixture—around the rebar.  Then, we'll smooth the gunite and leave it to set.
  4. You'll really begin to see your pool come to life at this stage!  Once the material is set, we'll apply a finishing layer to the gunite.
  5. When the finishing layer is all set, we'll take care of any final details.  We'll show you how to care for and maintain your pool to ensure your maximum enjoyment.

Pros & Cons of GUNITE Pools

When trying to decide what type of pool is best for you, it’s important to consider your options and understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type. Here’s what you should know about gunite pools.

Pros:

  • Durability: Gunite is the longest lasting option of any inground pool material.  Their rebar framework and gunite coating make them extremely durable and resilient.
  • Lower long-term costs: In the long run, gunite pools are less expensive to maintain, due to their solid construction.
  • Great return on investment: Because they're long lasting and customizable to the landscape, gunite pools consistently increase property values and provide an excellent return on your investment.
  • Highly customizable: The steel framework and sturdy gunite material mean these pools can be created in almost any shape and design, allowing you to create a poolscape that perfectly matches your surrounding landscape. 

 

Cons:

  • Day-to-day maintenance costs: The gunite surface is porous, therefore regular chemical maintenance is required to reduce algae growth and keep the pool safe for swimming.
  • Installation time: Gunite pools require an extended installation time compared to other pool types.  Due to the digging, frame placement, and gunite setting time, your pool installation time may be considerable.
  • Draining the pool may be hazardous: In the event your gunite pool needs drained, it's important to work with a professional.  Improperly draining the pool may result in the surrounding ground shifting, which could cause considerable damage to your pool.
