Help with gunite pool

I am building my first gunite pool. I have few questions pertaining to the build. The pool is going to be 12x36 with a five foot deep end. What is the depth of your shotcrete ? I was going 6" on the wall and 9" on the floor with a 12" beam. I am putting 6" of 57 stone . Is this to much ? I know I will take twenty eight days to cure but can you install tile and coping before this cure period is up? I am going to use # 3 rebar set 12x12. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated .

  • I am is the upstate of SC . We are using a wet mix. How thick would you go on the beam.?
  • Jared,

     

    where are you located?    you can install the tile before the 28 day cure, but not the plaster.   6" is a very common wall thickness, although many builders use 8".      You do want to thicken up your bond beam at the top.

     

    Are you using dry mix or wet mix?
