Concrete Pool Deck? But of course!

When imagining a pool deck, most people probably envision a wood deck surrounding an above ground pool, or a boring flat or brushed concrete patio surrounding an inground pool.  Or maybe some of us wish we could afford a beautiful natural stone pool deck matching up to the exterior of our homes, similar to that guy's pool deck down the street.  Guess what?  You can afford that!  The fact of the matter is that guy down the street with that amazing stone pool deck most likely opted for the less expensive stamped concrete decking, patterned to mimic the natural stone he wanted and colored or stained to his specifications.

Now that you know your concrete pool deck can be designed to look how you want, it is time to think about the function of the pool deck.  When designing a pool deck, it is important to note that although the pool deck looks and acts like a patio, there are some design elements  to incorporate.  Pool decks should be slip-resistant, reflect the sun and oriented properly around the pool.  Another thing to decide is if you want your pool deck to function as another "room" of your home.  It is quite common for homeowners to design a section of their pool deck to encompass barbeque grills, fire pits, dining and some even install entire outdoor kitchens.
