Keeping your new pool deck looking new

Safety and beauty in a new pool deck

Proper paint and sealer can keep your new pool deck looking new for years. Painting and sealing your concrete pool deck will last for years if you perform the right surface preparation and use proper choice for a paint and sealer.

Painting your pool deck

You can buy the best sealer and paint available, but if you do not clean your pool deck thoroughly, the work will not last at all. Be sure to sweep away all debris, dust, and dirt. Wash visible stains or spots with a cleanser and a scrub brush. Regular degreasing dish-washing soap or tri-sodium phosphate will work. Rinse the pool deck with a pressure washer and let it dry for a couple of days in warm weather; then sweep it again.

Be sure that you use a pool deck paint and not concrete floor paint. Pool deck paint is specially formulated to bond to concrete, and is resistant to chlorine. Ask your pool supply dealer about nonskid additive for your concrete paint if you want a textured surface that is safer for poolside guests. Be sure that you spread the paint evenly, avoiding leaving thick edges where the roller overlaps. Let the first coat dry for at least 24 hours before applying another coat. If you would like to add a deep finished look, you can apply a clear deck sealer over the finished coat of paint.
