Pool Decking: Everything You Need to Know
Let’s start with the basics. The pool deck is the area that surrounds your pool. This area can vary greatly in size and shape, depending upon the pool, the backyard, and any existing landscaping. For some pools the pool deck can be extensive, including the location of a diving board, any slides, space for sun loungers and chairs, and perhaps an outdoor kitchen with built-in barbeque and kitchen area.
