Pool Deck Area Calculator

How It Works

A pool deck should be at least 4 feet wide on all sides for safe walkways, but 6-8 feet is far more comfortable and practical. On at least one side, plan for 10-12 feet to accommodate lounge chairs and a table. Brushed concrete is the most affordable option and provides good slip resistance. Stamped concrete mimics the look of stone or brick at a lower cost. Pavers allow for easy repair of individual units and offer excellent drainage. Travertine is a premium natural stone that stays cool underfoot. Choose light colors in hot climates — dark surfaces can become painfully hot in direct sun.
