A gunite pool is built to last — but only when it is installed with proper reinforcement, structural planning, and experienced oversight. At HDT Pools, gunite pool construction has been part of our work for decades.
What Gunite Pool Construction Includes
Gunite pool construction begins with careful site evaluation and structural planning. Our scope typically includes site analysis, excavation, reinforced steel rebar, pneumatic gunite application, shell shaping, curing, plumbing integration, equipment installation, tile and coping, deck construction, and final inspection.
Residential Gunite Pool Construction
Gunite offers flexibility in design and strength in structure — freeform or geometric layouts, integrated spas, vanishing edges, custom depth profiles, and reinforced construction for hillside properties.
Commercial and Institutional Gunite Applications
Gunite is frequently used for public swimming pools, hotel and resort pools, HOA facilities, indoor aquatic centers, and waterpark features requiring coordination with engineers and inspection agencies.
Planning for Soil, Slope, and Climate
Gunite pool construction in this region requires attention to soil stability, sloped and hillside properties, freeze–thaw conditions, and drainage and water management.
