These pool deck ideas get bigger and bigger; which would you choose?
An above-ground swimming pool can be much more than just a swimming pool standing in the middle of your backyard. A pool deck is the best way to make it feel like a part of the property in the best way possible. If you are interested in building a pool deck, we’ve got some pool deck ideas that get progressively bigger (and better?).
A Simple Platform with Stairs
A pool deck can be minimalist: a small platform flush with the pool’s rim and a set of stairs to reach it. It is just enough to get in and out of the swimming pool with ease. Sometimes, less is more. This kind of pool deck is naturally the most affordable and is great for small yards.
A Platform on One Side of Your Pool
A pool deck can be bigger than that, though, but still minimalist enough to save yard space. An above-ground pool deck can also border one side of your swimming pool, creating enough room for you to set out at least a couple of deck chairs. It could be a lovely place to sit out in the sun at the poolside.
A Pool Deck Connected to Your Home
Another interesting way to include a sitting area with your pool deck is to merge your pool deck with your backyard deck. Is it possible to place the above-ground deck close enough to the house to create one seamless platform from the back door to the pool? If so, then you have many pool deck design opportunities. The swimming pool could be on the edge of the deck, cut into the side of the deck, or be in the middle of the deck.
A Wraparound Freestanding Pool Deck
If you have a spacious backyard, you could go with a freestanding pool deck instead that surrounds the entire swimming pool. To make the pool the most accessible, you can have a wraparound cascading stair design.
An Outdoor Living Retreat
A pool deck can be even more than a platform. It could feature a pergola, built-in lighting, built-in benches, deck planters, and even an outdoor fireplace. If you want to make your backyard pool deck feel like another living room, these deck additions can complete your outdoor living retreat.
