09 Dec Transform Your Pool: the Power of a Sliding Deck
Your pool is probably one of the most treasured spaces in your home. Kids and adults alike adore swimming in and lounging next to it. It’s the perfect quell for those hot summer days; a crowd pleaser, entertainment attraction, and reward for good behaviour.
Guess what? There’s a way to level up your pool while making it safer, more aesthetically pleasing, and adding value to your home: a sliding deck. There are so many ways a sliding deck for your pool can add value to your space, from maximising space and adding security to reducing overall maintenance. Read on for sliding deck tips from Cape Town’s go-to timber supplier.
Adds Space
A wooden sliding deck for your pool can make your garden into a multifunctional space: perfect for partying, braaiing, or simply relaxing when you’re not in the mood for swimming. Add a few sun loungers and drinks.., et voilà! The perfect space for catching some sun without getting wet. You might also use it to transform your outdoor space in winter by erecting a gazebo over it.
Sliding decks are also fantastic for hiding nasty green pools. They make maintenance that much easier by protecting them from UV light and leaves while keeping your pool cool so algae struggle to grow. Prepare your garden for a deck!
Makes Pool Access a Breeze
Are you tired of unhooking your pool net one peg at a time before you swim? Or throwing your back out each time you have to unroll your big heavy cover? With a sliding deck, pool access is as easy as sliding your deck to one side. You could even get an electric one so your deck slides out of the way with the mere press of a button.
Sliding pool decks come in various configurations, including:
- Seamless
- Telescoping
- Nested
- Tuck
In the end, the type you get depends on your needs and preferences. Online Building would be delighted to help you pick out an outside deck that works for you.
Added Security
With a sliding pool deck, you won’t have to worry about small dogs or kids getting their feet stuck in the pool nut or running onto the canvas. Sliding decks are a solid structure that goes on top of pools. Your kids and pets can run and play on it in peace, giving you peace of mind and the freedom to focus on more important tasks.
Increases Your Home’s Value
A sliding pool deck is a great long-term investment for your house. While the upfront cost might be high, the value it adds to your property’s resale value is through the roof, making it the perfect investment to add aesthetic appeal, safety, peace of mind, and easier maintenance to your life.
