Composite Decking is King
While traditional wood decks can split and warp over time, composite boards stand up to the test of time with sustainable, durable construction. This is an exceptional option for pools because many of these boards resist heat better than concrete and limit the need for painstaking maintenance. These are some of our top recommendations for pool deck materials.
AZEK
With next-generation composite construction, TimberTech AZEK stays up to 30 degrees cooler in the sun! Along with industry-leading heat resistance, these boards include other exceptional benefits. A splinter-free surface and 40% better slip resistance than competitors helps keep every step safe. For pool decks, TimberTech offers light hues like Whitewash Cedar, Slate Gray, or Coastline for the best heat mitigation and timeless style.
Deckorators
Another amazing composite option for pool deck materials is the Deckorators Venture line of composite boards. In addition to exceptional durability and lightweight construction, these boards include unique heat-resisting technology. Deckorators protects your feet in the hot sun with infrared reflective caps to minimize heat absorption, and micro-embossing that reduces direct skin contact. With color options ranging from light earth tones to naturally lighter wood, these boards are perfect for any backyard oasis!
Fiberon
For the best blend of quality and budget-minded pricing, we highly recommend Fiberon’s Good Life collection. This line captures the authentic look of wood with exceptionally durable and sustainable construction! Good Life boards contain 96% recycled materials including wood and plastic. To ensure each board feels just as good on your feet as they are for the environment, both the Escapes and Weekender collections include a 3-sided UV-resistant cap. In addition to heat-resistant caps, the simulated grains provide sure footing. Explore all of our exceptional boards for your pool deck project in our showroom or online!
Hidden Fasteners
When sourcing your pool deck materials, the fasteners you choose are just as important as the boards. The type of water in your pool will determine the type of fastener you’ll need. Decks around saltwater pools require stainless steel fasteners since traditional carbon steel rusts easier over time. We also suggest using hidden fasteners to minimize the chance of splinters, scrapes, and cuts. These are the top fasteners our dexperts recommend!
CAMO
For minimal impact to your composite boards and maximum security, CAMO Edge is the ideal fastener. These screws are easy to install and provide a high-end look without the high-end price! Each screw is made with a patented rake tip that reduces splitting and a special trimhead that reduces visibility. CAMO also offers EDGEX clips for boards with a grooved edge profile for a truly hidden installation.
Deckorators
Another exceptionally popular hidden fastener system comes from Deckorators. Their Stealthlock series fits right into grooved edge profiles for consistent spacing and a seamless appearance. Thanks to the weather-resistant construction, each clip provides a long-lasting connection for years to come in any conditions!
