Why build a “mid height” pool deck?

Why build a “mid height” pool deck?

(A deck that is two 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 step straps

Note: Install a self latching and lockable gate to prevent accidental drowning.
