Why Choose Decking for Your Outdoor Pool in Joliet, IL?
Uneven surfaces, slippery tiles, proper drainage and bland aesthetics are just a few of the common issues that both commercial and residential properties in Joliet, IL face. Especially in climates with fluctuating weather patterns, these challenges not only affect the enjoyment of the pool area but also pose safety risks for both residents and guests. This is where outdoor pool decks come into the picture.
Unlike traditional materials such as wood or concrete, composite decking is engineered from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic materials, resulting in a product that is highly resistant to moisture, fading, and staining. This inherent resistance to the elements makes composite decking exceptionally well-suited for use around pools, where exposure to water, sunlight, and chlorinated chemicals can take a toll on traditional materials over time.
Moreover, composite decking does not require regular sealing, staining, and sanding to uphold both appearance and structural integrity. A simple periodic cleaning with soap and water is typically all that's needed to maintain composite decking's optimal appearance. This allows homeowners in Joliet to spend more time enjoying their pool and less time on maintenance tasks. Book a consultation with your deck experts to start building your property’s outdoor pool deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a pool deck last?
A well-built and properly maintained pool deck can last anywhere from 10 to 25 years or more. However, the lifespan of a pool deck can vary depending on several factors, including the materials used, maintenance practices, climate conditions, and level of usage. For example, decks made Trex composite decking tend to have longer lifespans compared to wood decks that require frequent maintenance.
What is the minimum size for a pool deck?
There is no universal minimum size when building a deck for pools. However, as a general guideline, pool decks should be large enough to provide adequate space for lounging, walking, and accessing the pool safely. In many cases, building codes may require a minimum setback distance between the pool edge and any structures, including the deck.
How deep should a pool deck be?
The recommended depth for a pool deck typically ranges from 3 to 6 feet for above-ground pools and can vary based on individual preferences and local building codes. For in-ground pools, the deck's depth may be designed to be flush with the pool's edge or slightly elevated, with is around 0 to 2 feet above ground level. You can consult with a licensed contractor or pool designer from Warner’s Decking to determine the optimal depth for your pool deck.
Is decking better than concrete for pools?
Yes, decking is a better option than concrete for pool areas. Decking materials such as composite decking offers UV-resistant properties that prevent fading and deterioration from sun exposure. In addition, many decking options feature textured surfaces or non-slip coatings, enhancing safety by reducing the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet conditions.
The ideal colors for a pool deck are?
Neutral shades such as beige, tan, or light gray are favored for their ability to blend seamlessly with different outdoor environments, offering a classic and neat appearance. These hues are particularly good at reflecting sunlight, which helps to keep the deck's surface cooler, a plus in hot weather regions. On the other hand, darker tones like charcoal or slate gray can provide a sleek, contemporary look while being more adept at hiding dirt and blemishes.
