Pool Deck Ideas

Thinking about adding a deck to your pool? Then you'll need some ideas!

The pool deck can serve many purposes in your backyard design and will be a focal point for many years to come. With outdoor living becoming more popular year after year, the pool is fast becoming the place where friends and family gather as well as having a source of entertainment for everyone.

When building a deck, the options are endless. From stone to tile, it’s hard to know where to start when picking your exterior decking. Here are some pool deck ideas to complete your backyard oasis.

Cool It Down with Stone

A pool deck is not complete without a stunning stone finish. Stone will instantly make your pool look like it’s been there forever and comes in an array of shapes, sizes, hues and finishes to compliment your personal style.

If you like something more contemporary, then concrete pavers might be the solution as they come in many different colours and designs that will enhance your poolside space.

Not only does stone make great outdoor surfaces but they are very easy on the eyes!

Make It Tropical with Tile

Tile pool decks are a great solution if you want something more contemporary to fit your style. This option will also add some value to your home should you ever choose to sell in the future.

The best part about building your pool deck is that there are so many options on the market today, from small mosaic tiles perfect for lining the edge of your pool and walkways, to larger format tiles that can almost look like wood (but without the upkeep).

And if you’re up for making a big splash, then consider installing an in-ground or above ground pool insert using glass tiles that create stunning effects when hit by light from above. No matter what kind of tile finish you choose, you can’t go wrong with tile pool decking.

Meaning affordability shouldn’t be an issue when it comes to having a wooden deck around your pool!

Composite pool decks also come in a variety of colours giving homeowners more options to choose from when deciding on their exterior design. This material can be made into almost any design that you can dream up giving you the freedom to personalize your pool deck any way you like.
