Shotcrete vs Gunite

[DaBomb650]

Well, the pool contractor is offering a "lifetime warranty" on the gunite pool structure. They tell me they 1 guy that does their gunite, he has been doing it for 20 years. These make me feel a little better about the whole thing.

I would go with what the pool builder is most experienced at installing.

This makes a lot of sense. Our builder had bad experience with shotgrete here in the middle of Oklahoma. He said that our shotcrete just didn't hold up as well to our shifting red clay. He thinks it would be fine in most other types of soil.

I can't say how true that is at all, but as Simmons99 says, use what the builder is experienced at installing.
