What happens after the dig?

Excavation is one of the most dramatic stages of pool construction, but it's only the beginning of creating the structure beneath the water.

Once the pool shell has been excavated, shuttering, pipework and steel reinforcement are installed to prepare for concrete spraying. This framework forms the backbone of the pool, providing the strength and precision needed for a durable, high-performance build.

The excavation is typically coordinated by the main contractor, builder or landscape architect as part of the wider project. It’s important to discuss this early stage to ensure responsibilities, access requirements and spoil management are clearly understood.

A lesser-known consideration is the volume of soil removed during excavation. Depending on site conditions and the size of the pool, substantial quantities may need to be redistributed across the landscape or removed from site as part of the wider construction strategy.

Behind every finished pool is a carefully engineered foundation built from the ground up.

Don’t forget about what’s beneath the cover.

Before closing your swimming pool for winter, it's important to ensure the water is clean, balanced and properly treated. Taking care of your pool's water chemistry before shutdown can help prevent issues over the colder months and make reopening in spring much easier.

Our experienced Guncast maintenance team can take care of the entire winterisation process for you, including:

- Filter backwashing and rinsing
- Regular winter maintenance visits
- Reduced circulation settings to help conserve energy
- Plant room isolation where appropriate
- Installation of a winter debris cover
- Chemical balance testing

With the right winter care in place, your pool will be protected throughout the colder months and ready to enjoy when spring arrives.

What does it take to put a swimming pool on a rooftop?

The view might be the standout feature, but the real wow factor lies beneath the waterline.

Successfully delivering a rooftop pool requires far more than exceptional design. From structural loading and waterproofing to drainage, plant room integration, and long-term energy efficiency, every detail must be carefully considered from the earliest stages of a project.

At Guncast, we work closely with architects, engineers and developers to address the complexities of rooftop pool design before construction begins, ensuring challenges are identified early and solutions are built in from day one.

Planning an outdoor pool project?

Here are three key things to consider:

Location
Choose a sunny, sheltered and easily accessible position. The right location can transform your pool into the focal point of your outdoor space while enhancing property value.

Construction Method
The build technique matters. Gunite wet or dry sprayed concrete remains the preferred choice for creating high-quality, bespoke luxury swimming pools.

Finishes & Materials
From large-format porcelain tiles to elegant mosaics, the finishes you choose will define the overall look and feel of your pool, helping create anything from a sleek contemporary design to a timeless classic retreat.

Kyran Vermey shares expert insight on planning a luxury outdoor pool in series one of our pool build series processes.

The big reveal is here. What a transformation. 💧✨

In the final chapter of our bespoke pool build series, we take a look beyond the finished waterscape to the technology, expertise and ongoing support that help keep it performing beautifully for years to come.

Designed as a seamless extension of the home, every detail has been carefully considered, from intelligent filtration and automation through to specialist maintenance and servicing, making ownership as effortless as it is enjoyable.

How does a deck level swimming pool achieve its perfectly clean waterline?

Instead of using surface skimmers, water gently flows into a perimeter overflow channel before passing through a balance tank and back into the circulation system.

The result is enhanced surface cleaning and a sleek, contemporary appearance.

At Guncast, we offer a variety of overflow and grille solutions tailored to each project, including:

✓ Slot overflow systems
✓ Stone-filled channels
✓ Linear drainage details
✓ Stainless steel grilles
✓ Tiled overflow channels
✓ Hidden collection gullies

Every detail is carefully considered to deliver both performance and exceptional design.

In Episode 4 of our Pool Build Series, we look at the tiling and finishing stage of a luxury swimming pool project, from how tile choice influences the colour of the water to the techniques used to achieve a precise, long-lasting finish.

For this pool, large-format porcelain creates clean lines and a smooth, refined look.
