Building a custom gunite pool is an exciting journey that transforms a backyard into a luxurious oasis. At Tango Pools, we specialize in creating high-quality, custom gunite pools that combine durability, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal. From the initial planning stages to the finishing touches, each step of the construction process requires expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. Let’s take a closer look at what you can expect when building a gunite pool with Tango Pools.
Step 1: Planning and Design
The first step in the gunite pool construction process is planning. At Tango Pools, we start by meeting with you to discuss your vision, style preferences, and functional needs. Whether you’re looking for a classic rectangular pool, a freeform design, or a more elaborate lagoon-style pool, we create a custom design that fits seamlessly into your landscape and lifestyle. Our team uses state-of-the-art 3D modeling software to give you a clear visual representation of your future pool, allowing you to make informed decisions about materials, shapes, and features.
Step 2: Excavation and Preparation
Once the design is finalized, the next step is excavation. This involves digging the hole for the pool shell, which is done with precision to ensure accurate dimensions and depth. The excavation process requires heavy machinery and careful planning to avoid any damage to surrounding structures or landscapes. Once the hole is ready, we install a robust steel rebar frame that will form the backbone of the gunite shell. This frame provides structural integrity and supports the gunite application.
Step 3: Application of Gunite
With the frame in place, it’s time to apply the gunite. Gunite is a mixture of sand, cement, and water that is sprayed onto the steel frame using a pneumatic hose. This application creates a thick, durable shell that forms the pool’s structure. The gunite layer is applied evenly and smoothly to ensure a strong bond and uniform thickness. Once the gunite is dry, it hardens to form a solid pool shell that is impervious to water and weather conditions.
Step 4: Plaster and Tile Work
After the gunite has cured, the next step is the plaster application. Plastering adds a smooth, attractive finish to the pool’s interior, available in various colors and textures to match your design preferences. We also install tiles around the pool’s perimeter, adding a touch of elegance and helping to define the pool’s shape. The combination of plaster and tile work ensures a beautiful, finished look for your pool.
Step 5: Adding Finishing Touches
The final step in the gunite pool construction process is adding finishing touches. This may include installing water features like waterfalls, slides, or fountains, adding LED lighting for ambiance, and integrating automatic cleaning systems to keep the pool pristine. At Tango Pools, we work closely with you to ensure that every detail is perfect, creating a custom luxury pool that exceeds your expectations.
