    Tools For Smoothing Gunite In Swimming Pools

    Tools for Smoothing Gunite in Swimming Pools. Gunite looks similar to concrete except that it's made of a combination of aggregate and cement, and it is supported by either rebar or steel meshing. Gunite is often used in making pools since it retains its shape even under the weight of the water. Gunite -- which is used to make the interior surface (floor, steps and sides) of pools, especially of inground ones -- is an alternative to fiberglass and lined swimming pools. While gunite pools are not as popular as the two other types, gunite pools are more customizable since you can shape it like concrete. If your gunite becomes rough, however, smooth it out to keep from injuring yourself, especially your feet. Always completely empty your pool and let it dry before using these tools.
