Northern Virginia Deck Builder Increases Value with Wood Pool Decks
A quality wood deck from Northern Virginia deck builder Hal Co Fence increases the value, attractiveness, and functionality of your above–ground pool. Above–ground pool decks can be built in almost any shape and size, but they can generally be broken down into three main categories: a perimeter deck, a side deck, and a combination of a perimeter and side deck.
Perimeter decks are oval or circular and surround the pool so that the inner edge lays less than an inch from the side of the pool. The advantage of this kind of deck is that you can access any part of the pool from the deck; the downside is that you may not have enough room to lounge or dine on the deck. This type of deck is heavy and needs substantial support.
Side decks are just that – they are built against the side of the pool but do not go all the way around it. You have more variety of choice in the shape of a side deck; square, rectangular, part–round, or crescent–shaped and can wrap around part of the pool. Space is always a consideration, but if you have much more on one side than the other of your pool, a side deck could be big enough for several lounge chairs, a grill, and a picnic area.
A perimeter/side deck option gives pool owners the best of both options. If you are interested in tying your above–ground pool deck to a back porch or other deck, this may be your best option.
