Why Invest in a Poolside Deck?
A pool is a major investment. A high-quality pool deck enhances that investment by:
-
Providing a clean, stable walking surface
-
Creating lounge and entertainment areas
-
Reducing grass and dirt tracking into the pool
-
Increasing safety with non-slip surfaces
-
Adding long-term value to your home
Done right, a poolside deck can turn your backyard into a resort-style experience.
Best Materials for Poolside Decks in Long Island
1. Composite Decking
Composite is a top choice for Long Island homeowners due to its durability and low maintenance.
Benefits:
-
Slip-resistant texture
-
Won’t rot, warp, or splinter
-
Resistant to chlorine, saltwater, and UV rays
-
Easy to clean and maintain
2. PVC Decking
PVC decking is fully synthetic and even more water-resistant than composite, making it ideal for splash zones and pool surrounds.
Benefits:
-
Superior moisture protection
-
Cooler underfoot on hot days
-
Mold and mildew resistant
-
Stylish, modern appearance
3. Treated Wood (with caution)
Pressure-treated wood is budget-friendly and classic, but it requires more maintenance near pools.
Note: We recommend composite or PVC over wood for long-term performance near water.
Key Features to Include in Your Poolside Deck
Built-In Seating
Maximize space and eliminate clutter with benches, lounge seating, or daybeds integrated directly into your deck design.
Shade Structures
Add a pergola, canopy, or retractable awning to provide sun protection during peak hours.
Lighting
Low-voltage LED deck lighting or stair lights extend usability into the evening and enhance safety after dark.
Slip-Resistant Surface
All our pool decks are built with materials and finishes that reduce slipping—even when wet.
Storage Solutions
Keep towels, pool toys, and cleaning tools neatly tucked away in custom deck storage boxes or benches.
Pool Deck Layout Ideas
Not sure how to organize your space? Here are some smart layout options:
➤ Wraparound Deck
Great for round or oval pools—offers access from every side and space for chairs, plants, or lounges.
➤ Multi-Level Deck
Separate areas for dining, lounging, and sunbathing. Ideal if your yard has a slope or elevation change.
➤ Deck + Patio Combo
Blend a composite pool deck with a stone or paver patio for contrast, function, and visual appeal.
➤ Infinity Edge Platform
For luxury pools, a raised deck at the edge of a vanishing pool enhances modern aesthetics and water visibility.
