Pool Deck

Sketch your ideal pool deck. Consider the materials to be used, the size and purpose of the pool. Consider the furniture to be accessorized near the pool.
All existing swimming pools are built with decks as an integral part. It was traditionally three-foot wide collar of concrete encompassing the pool. If the pool is constructed with a spring board for diving in a deep end, a seven-foot wide concrete at that end can hold the board.
The primary purpose of pool decks is to keep tidy the area around the pool and minimize slipping. Now pool decks are not just purely functional but beatifying as well. Swimming pools are more inviting with decorative decks. Pool decks now also serve as passages connecting to a house. Some decks are designed to serve as a large playing area surrounding the pool.
The design and evolution of the pool deck has dramatically improved over the years making every aspect of the deck as significant as the pool itself. Designing in-ground decks are more versatile than its above-ground deck counterpart. An in-ground deck is the best choice if there’s a large space available. Above-ground pool decks are often made of wood and usually built on stilts.
