TWEED HEADS CONCRETE

Pool Decks Tweed Heads

For some reason it became popular to set up wooden pool decks or those wooden structures around jacuzzis here in Tweed Heads. Most people will probably know exactly the type of structures that we’re talking about. Sadly with the climate that we have locally these structures just struggle mightily to stay upright. Even if you’re using a wood hybrid, or treated wood to create the deck the weather around here takes its toll on the structure. What tends to happen is that these decks will show their age real quickly. Even worse, they'll look really old even a few years into their lifespan. Concrete pool decks can provide a great alternative just because of the sturdiness that you naturally have with concrete. This is something that you just don’t get with other materials.

The Benefits Of A Concrete Pool Deck

Durability is going to be the first thing that comes to mind with most concrete structures. When it comes to pool decks they do tend to be more durable than the wooden structures that we were just talking about. If you hire a good finishing company, wink wink, you’ll also have the option to design a completely unique deck. That can really add to the look and feel of the place. 

What Are The Biggest Challenges For These Decks?

To come out here and not accept the fact that water is a lot of times not friendly to concrete would be selling people short. How a concrete pool deck holds up over time is actually one of the biggest tells to figure if the deck was done by true professionals or not. There are different techniques that we’re going to have to use to make sure that we’re not creating a deck that’s going to be vulnerable to water damage. The other thing that we don’t want to do is make a deck that gets super slippery when wet. That can be a hazard around here even when the pool is empty, but there’s ice around it. 

Creating Unique Designs

We mention this in the finishing options section. You can have a pool deck that looks like a wooden deck but is actually made out of concrete. That’s the beauty of working with a good concrete finishing. We’re going to be able to mimic different patterns and looks. To basically make your concrete surface look anyway that you want it to look. Not just something that resembles wood.

Can You Repair My Existing Deck? 

The short answer is yes. The repair process though is obviously going to be completely different depending on the condition of the existing deck. Do you currently have a deck that’s not made from concrete? In most instances if that’s the case what we’re going to do is remove the existing deck completely and create an entirely new surface. If you want to update your existing deck, but you’re not really sure where to start, be sure to give us a call or contact us. We’ll be able to help you get an idea of what’s out there for you.
