Some of the most important details in gunite pool construction are the ones homeowners never see once the project is complete. One example is rebound, which is the material that bounces off the surface or is removed while shaping the gunite during installation.
Rebound is separated from the properly placed gunite and removed from the pool shell. Because it doesn't have the same placement and consistency as freshly applied structural material, it shouldn't be incorporated back into the pool structure.
Properly managing rebound is part of maintaining quality throughout the gunite application process. While it may seem like a small detail, careful material handling helps the crew maintain consistency as the pool shell is shaped and built.
A durable inground swimming pool depends on more than the finished appearance. The construction techniques used during excavation, reinforcement, plumbing, and gunite installation all contribute to the finished structure and its long-term performance.
