<p>The places where<a href="http://www.dreamhomesgroup.com/category/home-facilities/swimming-pool/" target="_blank"> pools</a> are located can be decorated or made up in many ways, many make their natatorium a sanctuary and therefore furnish around with chairs, small refrigerators, lounge chairs and decks. The latter are very popular in sophisticated homes or those where the pool complex are the main protagonists. The decks are a trend that is here to stay, to describe them properly can say that pallets are usually located below the floor level of placements. These are placed outdoors, near or around the pool depending on the taste of the owner.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img title="Pool Deck" src="http://www.thegreatoutdoorspatiorooms.com/extimages/p_Deck_around_above_ground_pool_with_sunburst_detail.jpg" alt="Pool Deck" width="500" height="335" /></p>
<p><strong>Pool decks</strong><br />
The construction of this soil is carried out with pillars of 40 cm from each other. It will level the place where these decks will be coated and then place the rafters for its construction. The decks are usually made of wood or aluminum, these materials are the most widely used because they are the most weather resistant. The rafters to build these soils are placed with brass screws, this material is used because it does not rust, wood for wood will be separated by up to 1 cm. Finally, apply 3 coats of paint for decks that treat the wood in a special way so that water does not degrade.</p>
<p>The construction of wooden decks lapacho costs not less than $ 140 per square meter, is one of the most expensive wood for this soil, we can choose other types, the most accessible between 60 and 80 dollars per square meter. Every time we build or remodel a home wood remains the material par excellence, in the case of these floors for <a href="http://www.dreamhomesgroup.com/category/home-facilities/swimming-pool/" target="_blank">swimming pools</a>, we can say that wood is preferred because it gives the unit an air much more classical and refined.</p>

<p><strong>Platforms for swimming pools</strong></p>
<p>Today consumers prefer decks distinguished from other mortals, and thus choose non-traditional or exotic wood for their floors, in any event prior to the placement of this outer sole should consider some crucial factors. The first thing to determine in addition to material or type of wood, are the soil conditions to be placed on the platform, plus also must choose colors and finishes that complement the garden and the natatorium. In turn, we must take into account the amount of traffic that the deck will, that includes the number of family members as the frequency of use of the natatorium.This factor will help us choose the type of wood and its resistance.</p>
<p>The decks can be placed in different forms and can be treated with different products in more placements have sued the American style, English style, the double-wide broken stick, the American way in the diagonal, and the mosaic entarugado. Once we have selected the one best suited to our garden decor, provide treatment, the deck can plasticize, this will be achieved through a polyurethane resin dissolved in organic solvents.</p>
<p>This film will give the platform an excellent hardness, strength and brightness to keep it under these conditions will be necessary to remove dirt, dust or leaves every day and then spend a well-wrung cloth. Never apply on the decks products containing wax or silicone as it not only damage the wood protection but steadily degrade it.</p>

<p><strong>Types of decks</strong><br />
The decks may be made in different types of wood, the most popular are those made of solid wood, this type of wood comes directly from the trunk, is an integral piece that has not been treated previously. The solid wood is the most expensive because it is more natural and stronger than any other. We can also opt for a little less expensive decks made from softwoods, are much lighter and therefore cheaper.</p>
<p>They are recommended for decks which do not have too much traffic and not used too, otherwise we will have to choose hardwood, much stronger. They give us great quality and excellent finishing are almost unbreakable and avocados that were designed for very heavy weights. Although wood is always the most reliable equipment, decks can be made of aluminum, it will be just as strong but its image is not as showy as the timber.</p>
