Above Ground Pool Deck
Pool Deck Plans & DesignsAn above ground pool deck not only adds beauty to your swimming pool but is a perfect place for people to gather for a swimming pool party. If you have children you know how it feels when your little ones are running around on a swimming pool deck you designed and built. Above ground pool decks may be built and constructed in a variety of ways that serve a dual purpose of not only looking nice but for swimming safety. You need to understand your pool, whether it’s an inground or above ground swimming pool. Swimming pool decks should compliment and serve a function. Maybe you'll want to have more space at one location or side to guide people to meet, or have that perfect pool furniture in just the right place. Deck areas will be used by most people and should be large to accommodate those that want to just sit and relax around their swimming pool. You can add a Hot Tub or Spa, waterfall, barbecue, decorative rocks, or anything else your imagination can think up. It should flow naturally and be designed in the right way so that people will be drawn to it and want to stay. Quite often you'll really need to think of these features as they will be part of your swimming pool for a very long time. My dad had a "BE-FREE" built on the side of his pool. This is for "Bug Free Environmental Enclosure". It's not an official word, just something he came up with. 
As was said,

decks are where people will spend most of their time, so take the time to consider every angle when installing a swimming pool deck. Also keep in mind the rest of your pool landscaping and how it will accent this centerpiece of your backyard. If you have unsightly trees and bushes or just bad views outside of the pool you need to know how you're going to deal with these issues. Which tress are going to be removed and/or transferred and what will you do to minimize or eliminate these eye sores? Natural views, waterfalls, decorative rocks, small rivers or ponds, hills, and garden areas might bring out the best of swimming pool decks and your character. Also when considering all of the plans for your above ground swimming pool deck you want to keep privacy in mind. Your neighbors shouldn't have a peek inside your oasis, but take their feeling into consideration as well. Too big and too much fencing and landscaping will probably irritate them.
