POOLSIDE DECKS

Safe, comfortable decks around your pool

The area around your pool needs to handle constant water, sun, and wet bare feet. We design and build composite poolside decks that integrate with your pool layout and landscaping.

We use premium capped polymer PVC decking because it does not absorb water, resists mold, and stays cooler under the sun. It also has a textured, slip-resistant surface that is safe and comfortable for bare feet.

BUILT FOR WATER

Low-maintenance and slip-resistant materials

Every part of our poolside decks is built to handle moisture. We use stainless steel framing fasteners, marine-grade structural connectors, and capped PVC decking so your pool area stays beautiful and rot-free for years.

  • Capped Polymer/PVC Decking: Premium PVC (like TimberTech Azek) is slip-resistant and stays up to 30% cooler underfoot than traditional wood or standard composite.
  • Frameless Glass Railings: Tempered glass panels that provide clear visibility of the pool area, ensuring safety without sacrificing landscape views.
  • Moisture Protection: Marine-grade fasteners and Joist Tape to seal the framing underneath against moisture damage and chlorine corrosion.

FAQ

Common Questions About Poolside Decks

For poolside installations, **Capped PVC (Polymer) decking** is highly superior to wood and standard composite. Brands like TimberTech Azek contain no wood fibers, meaning they absorb zero water, do not swell or rot from chlorine/saltwater, and feature superior slip-resistant textures while remaining cooler in direct sunlight.

Massachusetts building codes have strict requirements for pool enclosures, including fence height (usually minimum 48 inches) and self-closing, self-latching gates. We design and install code-approved glass or aluminum pool safety railings that comply fully with local safety guidelines.

We build poolside decks as self-supporting, cantilevered structures rather than attaching them directly to the pool's wall. This prevents structural load issues on the pool shell. The deck boards are carefully cut and cantilevered over the pool's coping stone for a clean, professional finish.
