Planning a Deck Around Your Pool or Hot Tub? Here’s What to Know
Whether you're dreaming of a deck that wraps around your pool or you're looking to build a platform for your new hot tub, there’s more to it than just choosing a pretty board. Between structure, safety, and material choice, it’s important to build a deck that’s both functional and long-lasting.
At Kline Home Exteriors, we design and build custom composite decks that hold up to wet environments, heavy weight, and everyday use—especially here in Ohio where the weather can change quickly.
🔹 Building a Deck Around a Pool: Safety & Traction Matter
Many homeowners choose to build a deck partially or fully around their pool—not just for looks, but for safety and convenience. Whether it's an above-ground pool or an in-ground installation, composite decking is a great option because it’s:
✔ Slip-resistant – Especially important for bare feet and wet surfaces
✔ Low maintenance – No need to stain, sand, or seal
✔ Fade and mold resistant – Holds up beautifully in sun and shade
👉 We recommend Envision Ridge Premium™ Composite Decking, which offers up to 33% more traction than other leading brands—perfect for poolside applications.
📍 We’ve installed poolside decks in New Philadelphia, Medina, and Millersburg, OH, using colors like Harbor Gray and Canyon Ridge for a fresh, clean finish.
🔹 Installing a Hot Tub? You’ll Need a Deck Built for Strength
Hot tubs are heavy—even more so once filled with water and people. That’s why it’s important to have a reinforced deck structure that can handle the load safely.
When building a deck to support a hot tub, we make sure to:
✔ Add extra support posts and proper framing
✔ Include load-bearing reinforcement under the spa area
✔ Consider ventilation and access for electrical hookups
📍 We’ve completed reinforced hot tub decks in Holmesville, Wooster, and Sugarcreek, OH, helping homeowners enjoy their spa without worrying about structural safety.
🔹 Moisture Resistance Makes Composite a Smart Choice
Traditional wood decks around pools and hot tubs are prone to splintering, rotting, and warping. Composite decking offers:
✔ Superior water resistance
✔ No staining or sealing required
✔ A consistent, clean finish season after season
Color combinations like Spiced Teak & Rustic Walnut, or Vintage Oak & Woodland Bark bring warmth and style to your backyard without the upkeep.
