Materials to Consider for a New Pool Deck

Outdoor FX
When it comes to your pool deck, you want it constructed from high-quality materials that will last. There are pros and cons to all materials, and your own personal preference will ultimately determine which you choose. Outdoor-FX in Columbus, OH offers professional pool deck installation as one of their many services and they recommend a few different materials to consider using for a new pool deck.
Wood Pool Deck
Wood pool decks are affordable and offer a classic appearance, making them a popular choice. Wood, however, requires regular maintenance—painting, staining, and sealing—and should only be used if you can commit to the required maintenance schedule; otherwise, you may experience warping, rotting, twisting, or cracking, among many other issues.
Poured Concrete Pool Deck
Poured concrete decks are another affordable option that can be customized to fit your own personal style. Concrete can be stamped to resemble stone, tile, or brick; it can also be finished in a wide variety of colors.
Stone Pool Deck
Stone decks offer a natural aesthetic with a timeless appearance. Stones are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. If you have a natural looking pool that utilizes boulders or cascading waterfalls, a stone deck will fit beautifully. They are highly durable and can be added to almost any architectural style.
Concrete Paver Pool Deck
Concrete paver decks offer a wide variety of style, shapes, and colors to choose from. You have the option to use the same size or to create patterns using different sizes/colors. Not only are concrete paver decks highly customizable, but they are highly durable, as well, making them a popular choice.
Composite Pool Deck
Composite decks are man-made and constructed from recycled materials. They are becoming a very popular material and for good reason; the low-maintenance, high durability, and low cost makes composite decks an attractive option. They can be made to mimic the look and feel of real wood, offering the beauty of wood without the high-maintenance. Composite decks are also specifically designed to resist warping, rotting, and insects.
