Two Ways To Build A Pool

Custom Gunite Pools or Fiberglass Pools

Common Questions

Gunite vs. Fiberglass FAQs

What is a gunite pool, and how is it different from a fiberglass pool?

A gunite pool is built on site by spraying a concrete and sand mixture over a steel rebar frame, then finishing it with plaster, pebble, or tile. Because the shell is formed in place rather than dropped in as one piece, gunite pools can be built in almost any shape, depth, or size, which is why most fully custom pools are gunite.

Is a fiberglass pool more affordable than gunite?

It depends on the size and features you want, but fiberglass often has a lower installed cost than a comparably sized gunite pool because of the shorter construction timeline and lower labor requirements. We can price out both options side by side so you can compare for your specific project.
