Thank you for the question. This pool is built out of steel reinforced gunite construction. There is a 3/8" gray marble plaster pool interior surface, a 6"x6" frost proof ceramic tile at the water line and PA Bluestone coping with a thermal edge. This pool is a natural pool and the bog area was built out of a liner which was fastened to the structure of the swimming pool because of weight restrictions and the slope the pool was built on. Ideally the bog would have been constructed out of steel reinforced gunite construction as well. The bog is filled with river rock and crushed stone.
