Green Shield offers code-compliant, aluminum railings specifically designed for water-access safety.

Green Shield proprietary composite boards come in six variegated colors with a natural, woodgrain finish, are anti-slip, scratch-resistant, and up to 30 degrees cooler than the competition. Mix and match colors to create a truly one-of-a-kind look.

Pool Deck Safety
Safety is key for any pool deck project and is achieved through:
-
Fencing. Most permits for pools and pool decks require fencing that is taller than standard deck railing. Green Shield offers aluminum pool railing sized to meet these requirements for safety and match the aesthetics of your entire deck.
-
Gates. Our pool gates come equipped with a plunger lock to keep small children and pets out of the pool area. These gates are available in the same colors as Green Shield aluminum deck railing, giving you the option to match color without compromising safety.
-
Zones. Thinking about segmenting your outdoor living space into “zones” can help create more safety, and utilize your space to the fullest. Strategically placed gates and transitions also give purpose to each area.
Pool Deck Spaces
Setting up hosting zones on your deck
Green Shield pool decks are engineered to delineate space with intention. A well-planned layout creates distinct zones for entertaining, swimming, and relaxation. To further define these areas, Green Shield utilizes contrasting composite colors and varied board patterns. Every Green Shield Deck Designer is trained to help homeowners identify the best configuration to maximize both the beauty and the utility of the property.
