What is a Gunite Inground Pool?
Gunite is a concrete blend of sand, cement, and water that is poured using a high-pressure hose and is known for its consistent structural strength. When gunite cures (dries), it hardens to form a thick, solid structure. Our expert pool builders will spray concrete on vertical surfaces and curves using a high-velocity air compressor “gun”. Material is shot out at an incredibly high speed compacting the material as it is applied. Gunite is commonly utilized in things like road tunnels, in addition to being a preferred choice for inground pool building.
