What type of custom inground pool is right for your family’s yard?
Shotcrete/Gunite Inground Pools
Shotcrete is a process in which mortar or concrete is sprayed at a high velocity to reach a certain compaction or density level. A major benefit of shotcrete technology is that you have no design limitations; you can have any size, shape, and parameters you want. In fact, your only limitations are budget and boundary restrictions. Concrete pools installed via shotcrete are incredibly strong, making them suitable for the Pittsburgh region because they can withstand all types of weather. The experts at PSW can manage the full process from design to the construction of your new shotcrete pool to your exact specification.
Family Fun Pools
Family fun swimming pools consist of fiberglass walls that are steel anchored, reinforced with concrete backfill, and concrete floors. The remaining concrete is covered with a durable PebbleTec coating. This system allows for custom creations of the sidewalls for amenities such as sun shelves, benches, play areas for kids, tanning ledges (that you can place furniture on), and various step styles. They also provide a large variety of tile options to give it that elegant finish. Family Fun pools are fully customizable and can be rectangular or freeform with a large variety of sizes.
Inground Liner Pools
A vinyl liner pool has a custom-made sheet of vinyl between the water and the pool structure. A vinyl liner makes all surfaces of your pool smooth. Because of the flexibility gained with the steel walls, a vinyl-lined pool offers unlimited design options, sizes, and shapes that work with your backyard. As with all inground pools, a variety of features may be added to your vinyl pool including spas, waterfalls, decking, laminar jets, lighting effects, and pool heaters. PSW leverages years of experience and perfected processes that are uncommon in the industry to deliver guidance and construction of custom inground vinyl-lined pools and surrounding structures that transcend your expectations.
Transform Your Yard
This breathtaking Family Fun pool houses a slide within a boulder water feature and has an attached Bradford Spa with Sheer Descent Waterfall that also cascades into the pool. This is one of the most relaxing places to be with all the different sounds of water pouring into the pool, which are all customizable. Both the pool and spa have lights that can be controlled from the convenience of one’s phone. Of course, the LED lighting within the landscape can be controlled by an app as well. We were sure to use plants that are low maintenance for this busy family.
