TL;DR
A shotcrete pool is an in-ground concrete pool whose shell is built by spraying wet-mix concrete at high velocity over a steel rebar cage, compacting it on impact. The method allows fully custom shapes, depths, and integrated features such as tanning ledges and raised spas, and the cured shell is then finished with plaster, pebble, or tile.
What it means
A shotcrete pool is an in-ground concrete pool whose shell is built by spraying wet-mix concrete at high velocity over a steel rebar cage, compacting it on impact. The method allows fully custom shapes, depths, and integrated features such as tanning ledges and raised spas, and the cured shell is then finished with plaster, pebble, or tile. Build times run months rather than the weeks of fiberglass or vinyl, but the structure routinely outlasts both.
