This classification also applies to the installation of gunite swimming pools.  After excavation, the employer sculpts the hole to the design chosen by the customer.  A stone base is laid and reinforced (rebar) rods are installed along the walls and floor of the excavated ground.  The gunite (a building material consisting of a mixture of cement, sand and water that is sprayed onto a mold) is poured or sprayed on the rods to form the pool.
