As an above ground pool owner, I'm sure you've struggled with the problem of what to do with the area surrounding the pool.
You need something that avoids dragging grass or dirt into the pool, something that stands up to the activities of boisterous kids and something that continues looking good throughout the year.
And of course you want the surfacing material to reasonable in cost, and ideally something you can add to or modify with your changing circumstances.
Fortunately HandyDeck deck tiles can easily meet this challenge. With HandyDeck tiles, all that’s required is a hard, well compacted surface around the pool.
Ideally you would lay the tiles on bed of well compacted gravel, but even if you don't want to lay a bed of gravel around the pool, you can still lay the tiles over bare earth, provided a few precautions are taken. In particular you'll need to make sure the surface is very firm and quite smooth (not bumpy) and lay a weed control mat under the tiles.
SwiftDeck Ipe wood deck tiles around a pool
If your pool is curved, you can cut the SwiftDeck wood or ResiDeck composite wood tiles to fit the curve of the pool wall with just a handsaw or jigsaw. It’s best to make a template with a piece of stiff cardboard to avoid making any mistakes in cutting the tiles and ensure you have a snug fit up against the pool wall.
But perhaps one of the best benefits of HandyDeck deck tiles is that you can easily extend your deck in any direction, add to it or remove it completely as you please. You can even pack it up and put it away for the next season if you want to.
Kronos porcelain tiles around pools
And there's no need to worry about tripping on the edge of the tiles. Edge transition pieces are available as an optional accessory with the SwiftDeck and EzyTile ranges which simply clip to the outer row of tiles to provide a sloping transition to the ground level.
