Gunite pools use a rebar framework that is sprayed over with a concrete and sand mixture. The method is preferable over a traditional poured concrete pool that requires a wooden framework to hold the shape of the basin. Gunite is exceedingly durable, so swimming pools made of this substance are built to last.
Unlike fiberglass pools, gunite pools can be made on-site which allows for an easier install. Gunite pools are incredibly durable and do not require a liner. This allows the pool to look better and retain its shape over time.
If you are looking to create your own pool shape and style then gunite is for you. It allows for more customization in shape and size while offering the greatest duribility in a pool.

Gunite pools can sometimes seem rough to young children and have been known to snag a swimsuit so it is often tiled solve the isuues. The rough surface of an un-tiled gunite pool can also house algae, so additional algaecide is needed to keep the pool pristine. There are several pool finishes that can be applied to your pool that will vary in texture so it is something you will want to talk over with your designer.
