Gunite Pools in Middle Tennessee

The ultimate in custom pool design — gunite pools are built entirely to your specifications, giving you complete freedom over shape, depth, features, and finish.

The Gold Standard

Why Choose a Gunite Pool?

Gunite pools — also known as concrete or shotcrete pools — are the gold standard for custom pool construction. Because they're built on-site from scratch using a steel rebar framework and sprayed concrete, there are no limitations on shape, size, or depth. Every gunite pool we build is a one-of-a-kind creation designed around your backyard and your vision.

Marlin Exteriors has been crafting custom gunite pools across Middle Tennessee for over 20 years. Our experienced crews handle everything from permits and excavation through plaster finishing and landscaping, delivering a complete outdoor living space that will last for generations.

The Gunite Difference

Fully Custom Design

No molds, no limitations. Gunite pools can be built in any shape, size, or depth — freeform lagoons, geometric lap pools, or anything in between.

Exceptional Durability

Reinforced concrete construction means your gunite pool can last 50+ years with proper care — the most durable pool type available.

Unlimited Finish Options

Choose from plaster, pebble, quartz, or tile finishes in dozens of colors and textures to create your perfect aesthetic.

Integrated Water Features

Waterfalls, grottos, tanning ledges, beach entries, and built-in spas are all seamlessly incorporated into the gunite structure.

Increases Property Value

A custom gunite pool is a permanent structure that adds significant value to your home — a true long-term investment.

Fully Resurfaceable

When the finish shows its age, gunite pools can be fully resurfaced and updated without replacing the shell — protecting your investment for decades.
