Choose One Of These Pool Decks For Your Plunge Pool

by Bill Kuhn

Hiring a local pool construction company to build a plunge pool in your backyard will give you a space for cooling off whenever the temperature is hot. This compact pool can be fun for jumping, treading water, and simply hanging out during hot, sunny conditions. When you begin to talk with the pool company about how you want your plunge pool to look, one of the topics that will come up is the pool deck that will surround the top of your pool. There are all sorts of options, and your pool company can show you images of projects it has completed for other customers. Here are three popular plunge pool deck options.

Wood

Having a wooden pool deck surrounding your plunge pool is a popular option that can add a lot of visual appeal to this part of your backyard. Your pool company can suggest several different types of wood and wood finishes to ensure that the pool deck has the exact look that you want. Some people favor wood because it's softer to sit on than other materials, which can be ideal if you expect that you'll often sit on the deck at the edge of the plunge pool with your feet in the water. If you have a backyard deck, you may want to choose wood that is a good match to the deck wood.

Poured Concrete

If you want to go in a completely different direction, a poured concrete pool deck around your plunge pool is an idea to think about. Some people may feel resistant to having a large amount of poured concrete in their backyard, but because plunge pools are commonly small, it's important to know that the amount of concrete around the perimeter of the pool doesn't need to be very large. Poured concrete is a useful material because it tends to offer good traction, even when wet.

Interlocking Stones

Your pool construction company can also show you pictures of plunge pools with interlocking stone pool decks around them, which can be a stylish addition to this area. With many different colors and styles of interlocking stones to choose from, you can come up with a unique look that will elevate the appearance of your plunge pool. Whether you want a straightforward design or something that looks more intricate, interlocking stones can be a good material to choose.
