Thinking about having a swimming pool built in your backyard? You can’t wait to dive into your new oasis, but you’re not sure about the construction material. A friend may have a fiberglass pool, it looks nice but doesn’t have that luxury resort feel. So, what is the better investment, gunite or fiberglass?

A gunite or concrete pool is made with natural materials, such as sand, concrete, and small aggregate for more of an organic feel, while fiberglass is a smooth, hard material has more of a plastic feel.

Fiberglass pools are made off site in generic molds. Gunite swimming pools are made onsite, they have a flexible design depending on the terrain of your backyard. The pool of your dreams can be a reality with gunite pool, it can have any shape, waterfalls, beach entry, infinity edge, and depth. A custom spa can be incorporated into you gunite pool for a true backyard oasis. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case with fiberglass pools.

To retain their shape, gunite swimming pools are framed in steel, this makes them incredibly durable and retain their shape. No wonder why this material is used to make tunnels and bridges.

Fiberglass pools only have a life expectancy of about 25 years, while a gunite pool can last for generations. If you are planning to sell your home in the future, gunite pools can definitely add value and marketability.

It is important to hire an experienced and dependable contractor, who uses quality materials, including electrical systems, lighting, and top of the line filtration.

Just imagine, backyard barbecues, family get togethers, and years of fun in your beautiful gunite summing pool.
