Gunite Pools

Gunite pools are the most elaborate of all the pool
categories. These are permanent, reinforced pools with
concrete and plaster instead of liners. Excavation is also
necessary, and a wide variety of special options such as
waterfalls, custom steps, and beach entrys can be easily
added to complement these high-quality pools. Gunite pools
are often seen in commercial applications; many private
homeowners, however, also choose gunite pools for their
flexibility since they can be built in any shape. Gunite
pool owners can also choose from many plaster finishes or
pebble applications for the pool floor, allowing for maximum
creativity. The high quality of these pools usually puts
them
in the highest price range.

Vinyl Liner
Pools

A
vinyl liner pool has a custom made sheet of vinyl between
the water and the
pool structure. This is in contrast to a gunite or shotcrete
pool which uses plaster as its waterproofing membrane. Vinyl
liners typically lock their top edge, called
a bead, into a track located on the bottom of the coping,
which is at deck level. Underneath the liner is a sand or
cementitious floor, specified in dimension to the "cut" of
the liner that is to be used. The floors come up to meet the
walls, which
are commonly 3 ft by 8 ft panels made of galvanized steel or
thermoplastic.
These walls are supported from behind so that they won't bow
out against the weight of the water. All of the wall panels
are secured together to make up the perimeter shape of the
pool. For this reason, there are some limitations to the
possible shapes of a vinyl liner pool.
