Whether you have an above-ground pool, seasonal pool, backyard plunge pool, or a pool at the cottage, blokDEK® gives you the flexibility to build the poolside space that works for you.
No digging. No concrete footings. No complicated framing. Just a modular deck system that can be configured around your outdoor space and changed as your needs evolve.
Benefits of Building a Poolside Deck with blokDEK®
- Create More Usable Poolside Space
Give everyone a place to relax, dry off, lounge, or entertain between swims. Build a dedicated poolside area without committing to a permanent traditional deck. - Tool-Free, Modular Setup
Assemble your blokDEK® deck without traditional framing, complicated construction, or specialized tools. The modular design makes installation straightforward and gives you more flexibility over where and how you build. - Designed Around Your Pool
Your pool doesn't sit on the deck. Configure blokDEK® beside your pool to create the perfect combination of pool access, lounging space, seating, and outdoor living. - Expandable & Reconfigurable
Start with the space you need today and expand later. Add modules to create a larger lounging area, pathways, steps, seating areas, or additional space around your pool. - Slip-Resistant Surface
Pool areas can get wet. blokDEK® decking provides a slip-resistant surface designed for outdoor use, helping create a more comfortable and practical transition between the pool and your outdoor living space. - No Excavation or Permanent Construction
Build a poolside deck without digging up your yard for traditional footings. blokDEK® is designed for ground-level applications and can be disassembled and moved when your outdoor space changes.
Why blokDEK® for Your Poolside Deck?
- Poolside Living
- Modular Flexibility
Designed for Life Beside the Pool
A great pool setup is about more than the pool itself.
You need somewhere to put the lounge chairs. Somewhere to sit with friends. Somewhere to dry off after a swim. Somewhere to keep towels, drinks, and pool essentials within reach.
That's where blokDEK® comes in.
Instead of building a complicated permanent structure around your pool, use blokDEK® to create a dedicated poolside deck beside it. The modular system lets you design the space around your pool, your yard, and the way you actually use your outdoor space.
Create a small landing beside the pool or build out a larger entertaining area with room for chairs, loungers, tables, and more.
When Planning Your Poolside Deck, Consider the Following:
- Pool Placement & Deck Layout
Your pool and deck don't have to occupy the same footprint. With blokDEK®, the pool will remain on its own appropriate base while the deck is positioned beside it to create a comfortable poolside living area.
Plan your layout around how people will enter and exit the pool, where you want to lounge, and how much space you need for entertaining. - Pool Access & Entry Points
Think about where swimmers will naturally enter and exit the pool. blokDEK® modules can be arranged to create a convenient transition between your pool and the rest of your yard.
Add steps or landings where needed to make getting in and out of the pool easier. - Water & Drainage
Poolside spaces naturally encounter water, splashing, and wet feet. blokDEK®'s open-frame design and spaced decking allow water to move through the deck surface and air to circulate underneath.
Proper drainage around the pool and deck area should always be considered when planning your installation. - Lounge & Entertaining Space
Your poolside deck can be more than a walkway.
Create room for lounge chairs, outdoor furniture, umbrellas, side tables, or a space to gather with friends and family. Modular sections allow you to build the amount of usable space you actually need. - Surface Material
Choose the decking finish that fits your outdoor space. blokDEK® offers composite and cedar decking options, allowing you to create a poolside look that complements your home, cottage, or backyard. - Future Flexibility
Your pool setup may change over time. Maybe you add a larger pool, move the pool to another part of the yard, or decide you need more entertaining space.
With blokDEK®, your deck doesn't have to be permanent. Modules can be reconfigured, expanded, or moved as your outdoor space evolves. - Aesthetics & Outdoor Living
A pool should feel like part of your outdoor living space, not an isolated feature in the backyard.
Use blokDEK® to create clean lines and a finished transition between your pool, backyard, landscaping, and outdoor furniture.
