Pool Decking- South Florida...what say you?

7 years ago

Hello Houzzers, our pool deck is currently 40 year old tile that needs to be replaced asap but so confused as to what to replace it with. We like the thought of the indoor engineered wood flooring "flowing" to the outdoors, and were thinking of doing composite decking, but now we've read issues with Trex/composite decking having many issues like wood (color changing, warping etc)except a much larger pricetag. I don't like pavers, the upkeep with weeds would be annoying ( my neighbor deals with this regularly).
Is pressure treated a viable option if we plan to have it maintained regularly? What will hold up better with a salt water pool?
Any other thoughts re: what to use? The deck area is about 1300 sq ft. The pool is kidney shaped, we would like to have the coping removed and run whatever is used right to the pool edge.
I thought about stained concrete but there are a few cracks on the deck and I'm worried about those resurfacing.
All thoughts are much appreciated!
