Deck drainage choices for your new pool deck

New pool deck
Drainage is crucial
Part of our job is to help customers make the best decisions about their pool, and we want to address the question about deck drainage for your new pool deck. Pool decks are also recognized as pool patios. They call for to sloping at a rate of approximately one-quarter of an inch every foot. This means that a section of patio that is eight feet wide should fall around two inches in elevation. For understandable reasons, the pool deck needs to slope away from the pool.

If this does not happen, rain water and splash water will wash debris into the pool on a steady basis. This makes it tremendously hard to keep your pool clean and your water chemistry in balance. If your patio is surrounded by landscaping, that is an ideal situation to allow the water to run directly of the patio into the surrounding grounds as long as that water has adequate drainage. If the water cannot be adequately immersed by the surrounding landscaping, a french drain will usually be the best solution to the problem.
