Renovating Other Design Dilemma

resurfacing pool and deck

When resurfacing pool and replacing deck with travertine, should the concrete deck be removed first? I want a new look and the pool would have to be raised.

I was told the tile that is raised would crack if the travertine were installed on top on concrete.

When it comes to whether or not to remove the concrete deck before installing travertine, it really depends on a few factors. If the concrete is in good shape and provides a solid foundation for the new decking, then it may not need to be removed. However, if there are cracks or other damage, it's usually best to start fresh with a new base. Either way, it's definitely a job best left to the experts. Lastly, don't forget about regular swimming pool maintenance once the project is complete. Keeping up with routine maintenance tasks like cleaning and chemical balancing will help keep your pool and deck looking great for years to come.

I have just built a pool with a 4m deck between the main house and the pool. Is this adequate as I intend to install a safety fence around the pool and also have a six seater outdoor dinning set and two loungers. The pool deck is 11m wide. Regarding the safety fence what is the minimum space recommend around the pool when installing fence.

Residential pool with water fall, Wood and concrete as a construction material for pool and deck and natural rock can also work. I like to get your comment about the design and what you think about it in general and this is just a preliminary design so is adjustable! Thanks.

Hi. It looks great. I assume you're after feedback on the whole space? I have a few comments as a non-pro ie so what I'd do myself..l I wouldn't use brick for the waterfall as it looks a little old fashioned IMO. I'd also make it deeper to stand out. Are they bamboos? I may be temped to go for different plants or the rock/stone feature wall here as when they grow the waterfall will just be eclipsed by them or do a living ŵall design so the greenery starts at the bottom. I'd change the colour of the plinths. The bar and stools are great however I might have 3 of them or go for an iconic chair design to make them a bit different or do this at the other end if it's shallow with something like a le corbusier so you can sunbathe in the pool. I also like sitting with my legs in the pool when sat at a bar, if this isn't the idea then maybe something along these lines from Imactoy (clearly not the same design/size but easier to visualise than describe!). I might also make the decking darker but that's a personal thing. Finally I'd change the baize on the pool table for something a bit different, we have silvery grey with black which looks good. Sorry that's a lot of comments and probably all personal, as I said it looks great!
