Materials for a Custom Pool Deck

Choosing a decking material usually comes down to three concerns: look, maintenance, and cost. No matter which of the three concerns is your determining factor, no one can decide what material is right for you. However, you can be more informed when the time comes to make your decision.

Materials alone do not make a deck; the shape, size, curves, and levels of a deck are just as an integral to a design. Traditionally, a deck was supposed to be no larger than 20% of your home’s square footage. However, separating your custom deck into predefined spaces, or rooms without walls, can allow you to have more deck space without dwarfing your home. The same effect can also be achieved by adding multiple stories or levels to your deck. While stories can offer you a deck along with a covered underdeck system, levels can define your space without adding several flights of stairs.

You may think you want wood for your above-ground pool’s deck, but the reality is that if you opt for wood, your deck will require frequent power-washing, sanding, and sealing in order to keep it looking as beautiful as the day it was built. For a more durable, moisture resistant, and low maintenance option, wood-like composite materials and plastic decking will save you from having to shell out for costly repairs, and your deck will look good for longer.

Have an in-ground pool? In-ground pools offer homeowners a plethora of options for not only decks, but also for patios and surrounding areas. Along with the aforementioned wood, composite lumber, and plastic decking, in-ground pool owners can take advantage of the low-profile of their pools and opt for natural stone, poured concrete, or pavers. The right material is different for every homeowner, but usually the material around the pool matches the other hardscape materials found around your home, such as your sidewalk or porch.

Why Stop at Your Custom Pool Deck or Patio?

While many pool owners are more than satisfied with a pool deck or patio, others like to expand their aquatic entertainment area even further. One way to upgrade your newly remodeled pool deck or patio is to add on an outdoor kitchen. Grills, refrigerators, sinks, wine chillers, dishwashers, and even wood pizza ovens are at your disposal. What better way to host a pool party than to make it a dinner party?

In addition to outdoor kitchens, fire pits and fire places are a great way to warm up after taking a dip on a cool summer night or to roast marshmallows with your family and friends, in the comfort of your own backyard. And if fire isn’t hot enough for you, you could always have a hot tub installed. No matter what you want out of your pool area or what repairs you need for an already existing pool deck or patio, American Deck & Sunroom can help.
