Solid penetrating stains or semi-solid stains with an opaque color are the best to protect pool decks. You can apply sealer with a brush, roller or a mop on larger deck surfaces. Use a paintbrush for smaller areas such as railings and the wood edge next to the pool. Push the sealer between gaps on all boards to coat the sides and prevent wood rotting in the joints.
Pool Deck Painting: After the deck is clean and dry, we should paint without too much delay. No need to wait for days, like with epoxy pool paint, our pool deck paints are a water-based latex. Concrete pool decks wonât need to use a primer coat, but two coats of our pool deck paint is recommended. If the pool deck surface is extremely rough and pitted, you may even want 3 coats, or a thick initial coating. Wood pool decks should use an oil-based primer, to improve the bond between the latex paint and the wood, and deck screws. Painting your Pool Deck: Supplies: Make sure to pick up a paint application kit which has all the tools necessary for the job. Youâll need a roller frame and an extension pole. Use a low nap roller, 3/8â³ or less. Using a bucket with a paint grate is easier than moving a low paint tray around.
