South Florida Pool Deck Remodeling

It's such an important part of landscape maintenance to have a good pool deck. Other than being a source of relaxation exercises after a long day of hard work, pools can also add to the general beauty of a home. There are a variety of design ideas you can incorporate in the landscape of the area around the pool to make it look great. Installation of poolside decks can be one of such great ideas. New construction ideas have come up to enable easier building of these decks making them easily accessible to people from all lifestyles. The decks come in different types such as wood and concrete providing a variety of options to those who are interested, whether they have above ground pools or underground ones.

Taking measurements

Like every other construction project, the first step in installing a pool deck is taking measurement of the area you intend to use. This will help you get the right amount material to use regardless of whether it’s concrete or wood. Record every measurement and don’t restrict yourself to the pool area only. Although you can do it by yourself, it’s best to consult the services of a professional in order to know exactly how to handle everything.

Setting up the material
​
Once you figure out the amount of material you’ll need, you can start setting up the construction area beginning with excavating the area if it’s necessary. You can go on to putting up the piers and posts if you want a wooden deck and stones concrete for the other type. Make sure the area you’re building on is flat enough to avoid any crookedness.

Lay the base foundation

Pool decks usually differ according to the type of pool but they should be built in a way that allows water to run off away from the pool rather than inside it. As you set the first base of concrete on the ground, it’s important to keep this in mind while ensuring your base has several layers for maximum strength.

Set up side bar rails

Apart from acting as safety barriers, these rails also help hold everything in place by providing side support. As the final step in building your deck, you should ensure that the sidebars are strong and durable. Seek advice from your constructor about the best rails for your type of pool deck, whether it’s vinyl, composite or wooden. They should cover the sun deck and the staircase or the steps leading to and from the deck.

In conclusion, landscape installation is important to any home in Boca Raton. After successful pool deck installation, it’s important to take good care of your deck so that it stays in good shape for longer. When clean ensure you use a putty knife to remove all the dirt stuck between the boards. You should also make sure that no shrubs grow on the deck at any point, while protecting the plants around the deck by covering them with a plastic cover. When not sweeping, use gentle cleaners that won’t damage your deck, choosing the appropriate type for your deck and ensuring that you follow the instructions that come with each one. It’s better to clean on cloudy days to get the best results. Take care of the joints, cleaning them regularly and oiling whenever it’s necessary.
