Trex Deck with Pool Area

Composite decking has become very popular over the past 10 years.  Many people are using the product over cedar and treated decking, but it comes with a price.  Composite decking is sometime 3 times the price of its counterparts.  The advantages are that is durable and lasts much longer than cedar or treated wood, it also requires less up keep.  Some disadvantages are that it sometimes will fade in the sunlight, and it is reported as being slippery when wet.

On this particular project, the homeowner wanted to build the deck around an above ground pool.  We had to grade the area for the pool and backfill with sand under the pool.  Once the pool was in place we laid out all the support posts and beam structures.  The railing system on this deck was very expensive with over 150 lineal feet of railing.  The glass block insert in the deck was to cast light in the walkout area below the deck.  Enjoy the pictures!
