What is the difference between gunite and shotcrete?
Both are concrete sprayed through a hose. Gunite is a dry mix with water added at the nozzle; shotcrete arrives wet from a mixer. Both produce a structural pool shell when applied correctly.
Why choose concrete over fiberglass?
Concrete is formed on site, so any shape, size or depth the lot allows is possible, including custom steps, benches, sun shelves and raised walls. Fiberglass shapes are fixed by the manufacturer.
