Custom Pool Deck Design and Layout

As pool deck builders in South Coast, we design around the shape of your pool, not a standard rectangle laid around the edge. We plan the deck around pool coping, steps and surrounding features before construction begins.

  • Layouts planned around your pool’s exact shape
  • Board direction and borders suited to the site
  • Curved decking shaped in-house for pool surrounds
  • Multi-level decking for pools on sloping sites
  • Seating and lounging areas built into the layout
  • Drainage falls planned away from the pool

Privacy Screening for Your Pool Design

Privacy screening is a common addition around a pool deck, particularly on smaller or overlooked blocks. Screening is planned alongside the deck so posts, panels and balustrades line up properly.

  • Privacy screens positioned around pool and lounging areas
  • Panel styles matched to your deck and home
  • Screening heights suited to fencing and safety rules
  • Cladding profiles used for a more architectural look
  • Positioned to block sightlines without closing off the yard
  • Finishes coordinated across decking, screening and balustrades

Composite Decking for Pool Areas

Decking swimming pool areas needs to handle constant splash, sun and bare feet without becoming slippery or uncomfortable. A pool with decking that suits your household comes down to choosing the right composite board for the site.

  • Composite boards suited to wet, high-traffic areas
  • Colour and finish options to suit your pool area
  • Boards chosen for comfort underfoot in bare feet
  • Low-maintenance surfaces suited to constant moisture
  • Options across a range of budgets
  • Suited to families, entertainers and everyday swimmers

HIDE Access Covers and Pool Covers

A deck around pool cover systems can look cluttered if the cover sits as an obvious separate feature. Aussie UnderCover recessed systems let the pool cover integrate into the decking for a cleaner finish.

  • Recessed pool covers that sit flush with the deck
  • Aussie UnderCover systems for a cleaner finish
  • HIDE access covers for skimmers and service points
  • Panels blended into the surrounding decking
  • Access planned in during the design stage
  • Servicing made easier without lifting boards

Sub-Frames and Drainage for Pool Decks

A pool deck sits close to constant moisture, so the sub-frame and drainage matter as much as the boards on top. We choose sub-frame systems suited to durability around water rather than upfront cost alone.

  • LowDeck H4-treated sub-frames for low-clearance areas
  • Aluminium sub-frame options for long-term durability
  • Drainage planned to move water away from the pool
  • Sub-frame choice matched to ground and moisture conditions
  • Structural checks completed before boards go down
  • Systems selected to suit your specific site

Pool Decks FAQs

What makes a pool deck different from a standard deck?
A pool deck deals with constant splash, moisture and bare feet around its edges every day. Sub-frames, fixings and boards need to suit this rather than standard ground conditions. Access to skimmers and pool equipment also needs planning into the layout.
The deck is planned around your pool’s exact shape, including coping, steps and surrounding features. Board direction and drainage falls are set to move water away from the pool. Seating and walkways are added once the core layout around the pool is set.
LowDeck H4-treated sub-frames suit low-clearance areas where moisture sits close to the ground. Aluminium sub-frames offer another durable option for long-term performance around water. The right choice depends on ground clearance and how close the deck sits to the pool.
Aussie UnderCover recessed systems let a pool cover sit flush within the surrounding decking. HIDE access covers do the same for skimmers and other service points. This keeps the finished look clean while still allowing easy access when needed.
