Gunite, or more properly, "dry process shotcrete", is a cementious product consisting of cement, sand and water. The cement and sand are pumped dry through a series of rubber hoses by compressed air. The water is introduced at the end of the hose in the mixing nozzel and the material is sprayed out of the nozzle at high velocity onto the surface that it is being applied to. Gunite is widely used in the construction of Swimming Pools where it is sprayed onto the walls and floor to create the pool shell. It can be easily shaped to create steps, benches and other features found in pools. Gunite pros- it can be easily transported to job sites and only what is needed can be mixed, so there is little waste. Gunite cons- One property of gunite is called rebound. This is material that bounces back off the application surface as it is being applied. This material is weak and cannot be used in the structure being built. It must be removed and discarded.
