Ever wonder how that backyard dream of yours transforms from a hole in the ground to a shimmering oasis? Here at Rimrock Pool and Spa, we’re lifting the curtain to give you a peek behind the scenes at one of the most crucial stages of inground pool construction: gunite application.
What is Gunite?
Imagine a super strong, incredibly versatile concrete that can be sprayed onto virtually any shape. That’s gunite in a nutshell! It’s a mixture of cement, sand, and water, applied pneumatically at high velocity. This process creates a dense, durable shell that forms the foundation of your pool.
The Gunite Process: Where Rebar Meets its Match
Before the gunite arrives, your pool’s shape is carefully laid out with steel rebar. This gridwork acts as the skeleton, providing strength and structure. Then comes the exciting part:
-
Preparation is Key: Our expert team meticulously preps the area, ensuring the rebar is securely in place and the ground is properly compacted.
-
Gunite in Action: Using specialized equipment, our skilled technicians spray the gunite mixture onto the rebar framework. It’s a bit like sculpting with concrete – a true art form!
-
Shaping Your Oasis: As the gunite is applied, it’s carefully shaped and smoothed to create the curves, steps, and features of your unique pool design.
-
Curing Time: Once the gunite shell is complete, it needs time to cure and reach its maximum strength. This crucial step ensures the longevity and durability of your pool for years to come.
