Tahitian Above Ground Pool
The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) recently released a report that outlined the twelve biggest remodeling trends expected for 2011. Along with going green in larger areas of your home and warming up your interior color palate, one of the top trends is adding a deck and pool to your backyard area (which comes in at number four on the list). Leading experts stated in this study that people are spending more time at home and, therefore, are sprucing up their backyard areas in order to maximize their family relaxation time. A great way to get in on this trend AND stay within your budget is to consider an above ground pool. Above ground pools are available in many sizes and shapes. The unattractive, eye-sore pools of the past are long gone. Above ground pools are now stylish and sleek, blending into any backyard. By adding a beautiful deck around your pool, you will transform  your backyard into the oasis of relaxation and fun that you have always dreamed of! Save additional costs by looking into resin above ground pool decks instead of traditional wood.  They offer the same convenience without the steep price. Don’t miss out on this exciting trend in home renovation.

Pool Decks for Above Ground Pools — An Affordable Alternative

4 Comments

Owners of above ground pools face a common problem — what kind of deck do you put around the outside of the pool, if any?  Having no deck means that swimmers take the ladder straight from the grass into the pool, which means you’re cleaning grass and dirt out of the pool more often than you’d care to.   Decks for above ground pools, though, can be expensive if they are built with wood and custom-made to fit your particular pool and your particular yard.  Typical custom-made wood decks may look great, but they often cost even more than the pool.

Resin pool decks for above ground pools can be an ideal alternative.  High quality resin pool decks are extremely durable, UV protected to resist damage caused by the sun, and will fit nearly any above ground pool.  Additionally, resin pool decks are often less expensive than wood decks, and they add beauty and ease of entry to your above ground pool.
