This creates a stable and secure deck surface, transforming the pool area into a versatile outdoor space.
Reversibility: No, the Freedom Decks’ solution is reversible. Homeowners can remove the In Pool Deck and restore the pool to its original state if desired, offering flexibility for future use.
Installation Time: The installation process generally takes a few days to a week, depending on the pool’s size and complexity. This is significantly faster than traditional pool removal or fill-in methods.
Versatility: The Freedom Decks In Pool Deck solution can be adapted to cover any pool shape, including rectangular, oval, kidney-shaped, and freeform pools. The patented bracket system ensures a perfect fit for any configuration.
Durability: The In Pool Decks are constructed using high-quality, weather-resistant materials such as composite decking, pressure-treated wood, or recycled materials. These materials ensure longevity and minimal maintenance.
Weather Resistance: The materials used for the In Pool Decks are designed to withstand various climatic conditions, including rain, snow, and UV exposure, ensuring the deck remains in excellent condition year-round.
Minimal Upkeep: The In Pool Deck requires minimal maintenance compared to a pool. Regular cleaning and occasional inspections for any needed repairs are typically sufficient to keep the deck in good condition.
Most people want the deck to handle parties, people, tables, dances etc. The answer is, YES! It is strong enough! The design is verified by a certified structural engineer, licensed by the state.
The decks are built to normal building standards for floors and decks and usually far exceed structural requirements, in fact most exceed commercial requirements for floor loading because of the way they are actually built.
You may want to put a spa on top of it, or drive over it. In those situations, we may want to reinforce it a little.
It depends. Here are some of the variables that affect the cost of a deck.
In all, there are up to 12 different factors that go into our calculations. Accuracy is very important to us. There could be other factors that may affect the cost also, but call any time for a free detailed quote.
Yes, water will pass through the deck openings. We install a pump that sends the water back out to the backwash line on the pool filter and drops it on the ground away from the pool.
The pump is powered by a ground fault interrupt circuit that protects anyone from being shocked. This is a standard requirement for the pool light circuit which we use to power the pump. Sometimes the GFCI’s go bad after many years in the sun and the heat and may need to be replaced at any time along the way if they do not operate correctly.
Yes, on every deck, we make an access hatch which allows entry to below the deck.
Since water will come through, any item will need to be in a rain proof container. We have seen customers put Christmas decorations in the large plastic storage boxes. Any old pool equipment they want to save goes down there.
You may want to set some skids on the bottom to set things on so that when water comes in, it doesn’t collect underneath. Whatever goes below needs to be in a water proof container.
We also offer a hanging storage system.
Most pool surfaces are not meant to be without water in them. Some pool surfaces can go without water better than others. From what we see, surprisingly, the older plasters stand up better than the new ones.
Most likely the pool will have to be replastered or resurfaced when you are ready to use it again.
When you are ready to use the pool again, the deck can be removed, pool resurfaced, and it’s ready to go. The deck or supporting structure and equipment do not damage the existing pool structure.
As a matter of fact, Freedom Decks has applied for patents for features that make it easier to remove the deck someday.
