Decks for Above Ground Pools

What seems to be one of the biggest reasons people tend to shy away from above ground pools is they fear it may look “cheap”, or even “trashy”. While I can’t deny that they can be exactly that, my goal with this post is to prove to you they don’t have to be! There are many pool deck designs and landscaping ideas that can be found with a quick Pinterest search that will turn your backyard and above ground pool into a beautiful oasis. It may be easy to just throw your pool up and let it sit while weeds take over around it, but with some extra effort (and, of course, money), you will not only be able to enjoy your resort-like home, but you don’t have to be embarrassed when the entire neighborhood shows up. Afterall, one of the best parts of having a pool is the awesome pool parties and BBQ’s you can host.

Decks are a great addition to your outdoor pool. Not only does it give your backyard a more complete look, it can dress it up as well. Many outdoor pools don’t have a very “pretty” design. Why not hide the drab behind some fab? Decks are also great if you plan on doing a great deal of sunning yourself on some loungers or one of those amazing floating island rafts. Additionally, they are almost a necessity if you plan on having countless summer pool parties and BBQs. Consider some of the above ground pool deck plans in the pictures below that I’ve quickly gathered on Pinterest. Just make sure to plan ahead for a deck when installing your above ground pool, even if you don’t have plans for it now. You may change your mind down the road and it will be less of a hassle if your above ground pool is already placed for one.
