Composite Decking Around an Outdoor Pool
Low-maintenance grey composite decking laid around an outdoor pool, giving a clean, slip-resistant surround that will not splinter or need staining.
About this project
Timber around water ages fast: it greys, splits and gets slippery. The owner wanted a pool surround that stayed tidy with a wash down, so we used grey composite boards on a properly levelled frame.
What we found
- A long pool with a narrow strip of tired surround on each side
- A garden that falls slightly, so the frame had to be packed level
- A need for drainage gaps so water clears straight off the surface
From start to finish
What we did
- Ground prepared and a level subframe set out along both sides of the pool
- Boards laid with hidden fixings and even gaps for drainage
- Edges finished neatly to the pool coping
- Fencing line and planters set to frame the space
Why composite near a pool
Composite boards do not need oiling, resist splinters and stay more slip-resistant when wet than old timber. Plan the subframe well, because a level frame is what makes the boards look straight for years.
