New Pool Deck Options

Whether you have just installed a brand new pool in your yard, or you're ready to upgrade an existing pool area on your property, the type of pool deck you choose is very important. The pool deck has a lot of functions. Aesthetically speaking, it has a lot to do with the appearance and overall appeal of the pool. Beyond its design, a new pool deck should also be built with function in mind. You want to make sure you choose the right material for your needs that is suited to the space. For instance, there are some materials that will get hotter in the sun compared to others. If you have a particularly sunny yard it can be uncomfortable to walk on a hot stone or concrete surface with bare feet so you might want to steer clear of certain decking materials. To help you start thinking about which pool deck option is best suited for your needs, take a look at some of the brief descriptions listed below.

Concrete
There are a few different types of concrete finishes you can have on a pool deck. For the most part, concrete is one of the least expensive and most durable surfaces you can have around your pool. Depending on the design and finish, a concrete pool deck can be patterned with a brush for a textured finish, or it can be stamped for a stone finish.

Pebble
A pebble finish is definitely one of the more popular pool decks available today thanks to its unique and attractive look. It is made by pouring concrete and scattering the aggregate stones on the surface of the concrete. This provides a beautiful finished look on a highly durable deck surface. Pool owners can choose from a number of different pebble colors and sizes that range from 1/8” to 3/8”.

Tiles
A less common pool deck option that provides long lasting durability and an attractive finish is tile decking. There are many different types of tiles available from stone to porcelain, all of which can function as durable deck surfacing or waterline tiles for inside the pool. Many pool owners prefer a tile finish made with heat-resistant materials for added comfort underfoot.
