Aqua Magazine
Building walls out of shotcrete starts with the forms — everyone in concrete swimming pool construction uses them, it's just the quality that makes a big difference. It's probably safe to say that for 70% of the industry, the forms just happen to be the ground itself. Most builders use good ol' mother earth as their primary one-sided form for shotcrete application, and for many (if not most) projects, the ground is perfectly suitable.

"The homeowner used to be an acting ship builder," says Wheeler. "So when selecting a decking material that was right for them, he definitely did his research."
