Tour a Green Shield Pool Deck
Deep Steps

All Green Shield stairs are built to a minimum of 4ft wide, two boards deep, with five (5) stringers exceeding code and allowing ample room for movement. This particular pool deck features Green Shield’s deep step design. When you choose to upgrade your stairs to our deep step design you create even more space for hosting and make the stairs easier to climb. This premium feature also elevates the look of your deck and provides home value for years to come.

Multiple Family-Friendly Hosting Spaces
Pool decks offer a great opportunity for multiple hosting spaces. Create spaces for entertaining guests, sun bathing, hot tubbing, swimming, and more! Green Shield deck designs are fully customizable to meet the needs of your outdoor space. Want even more distinction between your deck zones? Ask a Deck Designer about using different composite colors for each area.
Segmenting your deck can also keep children and pets safe. Splitting up your deck allows you peace of mind while pets and children play. Green Shield’s composite deck boards resist wear and tear, while secure pool gates and aluminum pool deck railing keep everyone safe.
Secure Pool Gates and Pool Deck Railing
Safety is key for any pool deck project. Most permits for pools and pool decks require fencing that is taller than standard deck railing. Green Shield offers aluminum Pool Railing to meet these requirements for safety and match the aesthetics of your entire deck.

Our Pool Gates come equipped with a plunger lock to help keep small children and pets out of the pool area. These gates are available in the same colors as our aluminum deck railing, giving you the option to match color without compromising safety.

A long lasting railing adds to the safety of your pool deck. The powder coating on Green Shield's aluminum deck railings keeps them free of rust, peeling, or flacking. You’ll never have to paint or stain the Green Shield aluminum deck railings. Ratted at AAMA 2605, our superior aluminum deck railings will hold up against moisture exposure from rain, snow, and pools.
Pool Coping Support
What is Pool Coping?
Pool coping is the rim that runs around the outside edge of many pools. Coping can provide many benefits to home owners including protecting your pool from moisture seeping where it doesn’t belong. This feature is most visible on above ground pools where coping provides protection to the lip of your pool and hangs out over the edge.

Why is it important to support Pool Coping?
Supporting your coping properly when building a pool deck is important because it can increase the longevity of both your deck and your pool. A supported pool coping will have less unevenness and create fewer trip hazards than unsupported pool coping. A tight fit between the pool deck and coping can also protect feet from sliding under the coping and being injured.
There is also the aesthetic factor to consider. The look and feel of your pool deck can be a significant factor in enjoying your outdoor space. Uneven edges, broken boards, and moisture accumulation can all spoil the mood. When you work with Green Shield Deck Builders our crews will make sure that everything is as good as it can be. Your deck will have smooth lines, pristine composite deck boards, and supported coping where applicable.
