Why build a “mid height” pool deck?
(A deck that is a few steps lower than the height of the pool.)
- Less steps when traveling to the deck
- Less chance of small children falling into the pool
- More privacy from the neighbors
- More eye to eye with swimmers
- Better looking and functioning transition from patio -to- deck -to- pool
- Less chance of furniture blowing into the pool during storms
- Less chance of people walking on the pool top ledges
- Easier to remove the solar cover blanket
- Easier to service the pool and change liners
Steps from top of the Deck to the Pool Height
- We suggest a portable step unit that can be moved when winterizing and servicing the pool
- The top tread of the step unit should be built extra wide to allow for connection of the ladder or step straps
Note- Always install a self latching and lockable gate to prevent accidental drowning.
