Pool & Spa Decking: Build a Deck for Your Spas and Pools

Water presents challenges ordinary backyard decks never face. Chlorine creep, constant wet-dry cycles and sun glare can leave cheap boards slippery and faded inside one summer. Our team solves these problems by matching the best board type to each location, specifying stainless fasteners and allowing for extra ventilation under the frame. We also ensure every project meets the latest F9 pool fencing rules, so inspectors sign off first time.

A filled spa pool can weigh up to three tonnes. Our licensed builders calculate bearer spans and joist spacing to carry that load without sagging. We can strengthen an existing platform or construct decks from scratch using H5 posts on cast-in concrete footings. Where properties slope towards the water, we can integrate low retaining walls to stabilise soil and keep drainage flowing away from the frame.

Owners of above-ground pools often ask for a wrap-around platform with one flush step for easy entry. We install joist blocking at ladder points and choose decking screws with extra bite so the boards never loosen under constant foot traffic.

Our in-house designer will map sun paths, privacy lines and furniture zones so your finished platform feels like an extension of the living room. Features include:

• Curved breaker boards that hug free-form pools.
• Cantilever corners for uninterrupted water views.
• Bench seating with hidden pump access for spas.
• LED riser lights and recessed cup holders.

We even pre-run conduits for future heaters or sound systems, saving you the cost of lifting boards later.

This approach keeps the building timeline clear and the budget predictable.
