Shotcrete / Gunite Pools & Spas in Pittsburgh

Pool with Pool House

The most versatile pools in Pittsburgh

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.

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.

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 with the steel walls, a vinyl pool offers unlimited design options, sizes, and shapes for your backyard. As in 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.
