WHERE TO START?
Redefine Your Pool Experience
Rebar is crucial in the construction of new gunite pools as well as gunite pool renovations that require structural changes. Acting as the structural framework, rebar provides strength, stability, and durability to ensure the pools withstand the test of time. Here at JR Pool Plastering & Texas Gunite Ltd., our in house rebar crews specialize specifically on gunite swimming pool rebar installations and pool remodels that require rebar work.
The rebar process begins by preparing the area for the renovation, which may involve excavation or a thorough cleaning. Next, we establish a wooden framework to outline the perimeter of the new structure. A concrete base is then poured to ensure stability, followed by laying a steel rebar grid to shape and reinforce the structure. This process offers remarkable versatility, allowing you to bring virtually any addition or renovation idea to life. Whether you’re envisioning a new tanning ledge, a sleek infinity edge, or a fully integrated spa, rebar and gunite work together to create a durable and long-lasting result.
More rebar is then added to make this grid look like a cage. This now 3D structure will form the shape of your addition. Finally, gunite is sprayed onto the rebar to form the shell of your new addition. After the gunite is sprayed it will be left to cure for several days and then you will be given instructions on how soon you can refill your pool, add chemicals, turn your heater back on, or swim in your newly renovated pool.
By reinforcing the structure, rebar enhances the overall stability and resilience of the finished design, ensuring all the pool elements remain strong and functional for years to come. Pool builders can make the accommodating changes a pool needs to ensure the stability and durability of any and all changes or additions that have been made with rebar.
