The Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Building a Shotcrete Swimming Pool

Building a shotcrete swimming pool is a major investment, and getting it right the first time is important. Here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid when building a shotcrete swimming pool:

1. Not hiring a reputable contractor. It's essential to do your research and find a contractor with experience building shotcrete swimming pools. Be bold and ask for references and check them thoroughly.

2. Choosing the wrong location. The location of your pool can significantly affect its usability and maintenance. Make sure you choose a site that gets plenty of sun and is away from trees or other obstructions.

3. Not considering the surrounding landscape. Your pool should be designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape. This means choosing the right materials and colours that complement your outdoor space.

4. Overlooking safety features. Safety should be a top priority when building a swimming pool, which involves installing safety fences, gates, and alarms to prevent accidents and protect children and pets.

5. Underestimating the cost. Building a shotcrete swimming pool can be expensive, and it's important to budget accordingly. Remember to factor in the cost of maintenance and repairs over the life of the pool.
