Choosing Your Pool Shape
The Shape Defines the Feel
The shape of your pool sets the tone for how it looks, feels, and functions. Whether you’re dreaming of a serene retreat, a family play zone, or a sleek showpiece—it all starts with the right design.
At Gulf Gunite Pools, every pool is 100% custom. We work with your space, your goals, and your style. The shapes below are just some of the most common ideas we use to inspire your unique design.
The shape you choose does not affect the price. Our pricing is based on the pool’s perimeter and the features you select—not its form. So go bold or stay classic—it’s up to you.
