A long time favorite of pool owners is the
pebble finish. Shown here with a large brick coping, this
finish is hard to beat for many applications.
PROS: economical, durable, natural, slip-resistant, and attractive.
CONS: not the most comfortable to walk or sit on, hotter than some
finishes, common |

Perhaps the most popular type of pool decking is
Sundeck. Sundeck stays cooler than plain concrete and is
slip-resistant, even when wet. Sundeck comes in various pastel colors.
Shown here with brick coping.
PROS: economical, durable, slip-resistant, modern, and attractive.
CONS: can be chipped, harder to hose clean as texture traps dirt. |

If you want the natural appearance of
flagstone, slate, brick or saltillo tile without the cost, you can
create it with patterned deck finishes. These patterns are
created in concrete to look like stone, brick and tile. Each
individual stone or tile square is hand-colored after the pattern has
been created and can be colorized to your personal preference.
PROS: economical, durable, unlimited variety
CONS: it's still concrete |

For the true, natural look of flagstone
and slate, nothing gives your pool more charm and elegance than
authentic stone. Individually cut and hand-laid, flagstone and
slate is probably the most beautiful and durable of all pool decking.
Shown here is a tightly-fitted flagstone cantilever-edge
PROS: beautiful, durable, natural
CONS: more expensive, more slippery, hot, stains, hard to clean |
