Heh y'all. I live in Houston and will have a due-west facing pool; thus, it and its decking will be brutalized by the sun. I want something as cool on the feet as possible, looks good, reasonably easy to maintain, and will hold up.

For what it's worth I'm going with salt water pool.

I've been on the fence with spraydeck and stamped concrete/overlay. Was strongly leaning toward spraydeck due to coolness and cost but I've heard several negatives about maintaining it and how well it'll hold up. So now I'm considering stamped concrete/overlay.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
