Having a swimming pool of your own is one of the top things on virtually everyone's wish list when it comes to their home and property. But why stop with the plain Jane run of the mill swimming pool and just keeping up with the Jones'. If you want to step it up a notch why not build a custom deck pool and have the best of both worlds.
Now there are several options to consider when you have decided to take on this type of a home improvement and those have to do with the type of material to be used to build the deck. Some of the choices available include:
Stone Decking - A wonderful material for adding exceptional aesthetics to your deck and your yard. You can obtain stone for decking in many different sizes and color choices. Though not one of the least expensive materials listed, stone is stylish and exceedingly resilient
Composite Decking - Within the last few years, composite decking has become a broadly popular alternative to solid wood for deck construction for several reasons. One reason being that although composite decking tends to cost more than a traditional wood product, due to the materials that are used in it's manufacture, it also has greatly increased durability and resiliency. With the slightly higher cost but greatly decreased maintenance, the trade-off is usually considered reasonable.
Wood - Wood being unarguably the least expensive of popular decking materials is probably the most used when it comes to deck construction, very much due to its availability and affordability; this of course will definitely reduce the cost of your deck project.
Poured Concrete - Very popular because of the things that can be done with it as far as its color and texture. Poured concrete can be stamped to resemble real brick, tile, and even stone.
Each of these materials has their own merits and of course your budget will determine what will work and what won't. Now another matter to consider of course is the actual deck design. Of course you want this deck and the pool to accomplish a few things when all is said and done with its construction. You want the design of the deck to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and to compliment the overall look of your home.
It is also of importance to not only consider how much space you have but also whether or not you need to match materials with any existing structures, such as a pre-existing deck or patio that you are adding on to. This is the point where a quality contractor comes into play, consulting a professional can make things much faster, safer and easier on the homeowner.
When it comes to deck design, whether you want to replicate a rocky hill, a smooth planed wood deck or anything else the only limits are your imagination and your budget. Now is a perfect time to get a pool ready for your friends and family to truly enjoy by building a custom deck pool.
