When it comes to building a custom pool, the most popular option is a concrete pool. The most common forms of concrete pools are actually known as gunite pools. These custom pools offer a wide range of design options and can be custom built to any shape or size. Here at Canyon Oak Pools, we use a dry mix gunite. The small particle dry mix is shot through a hose and at the point of application combines with water to create the concrete substance. Concrete pools last far longer than fiberglass or vinyl pools and require much less maintenance (although it does require a bit more expertise and skill to apply- but don’t worry, we’ve got that!)
