When you think of your pool, what do you imagine? You're probably thinking of the water, right? Your backyard pool is so much more than just water! In fact, there are a lot of mechanical pieces, equipment, machinery, and parts to it. This extends beyond the underwater part to the deck itself. Have you given much thought to your deck equipment? If not, you should!
Your pool deck equipment includes items like handrails and step ladders. If you are putting in a brand new pool or your pool is older and needs to be revamped a bit, you will need to shop for these items. How do you choose the right deck equipment for your pool? You can begin by considering a few factors:
#1 Keep safety at the top of your mind. Deck equipment isn't there for show; it's there to keep you and your family safe. You don't want anyone to slip and fall while they're entering or exiting the pool! If you or a loved one is at particular risk for falling or are wheelchair-bound, we carry lifts that will slowly and safely allow a person to enter and exit the pool. There are many Florida statutes regarding pools, and much of it has to do with the safety of deck equipment. Make sure yours is up to code!
#2 You want it to look good. Because these items are on the pool deck, they are going to be seen. This means you want them to be aesthetically pleasing! For example, the SR SMITH LADDER 3-STEP ARTISAN SERIES - ART-1003 and the 24" RES.LADDER ECONO 3 STEP MARINE GRADE - RLF-24E-3B-MG are both steps ladders with three steps, but that's where their similarities end. They look very different, despite having the same functionality. What is the style of your home and what look are you going for on your pool deck? If you want your ultra-modern home to have a pool that matches the vibe you're going for, you're going to want the SAFTRON TRITON HANDRAIL 49" X 36" WHITE over the classic handrails. This is where shopping for deck equipment gets really fun!
#3 Don't forget the fun deck equipment! You didn't select a home with a pool or put a pool in to just staring at it. More than anything else, your pool is there so you, your family, and your guests can have a good time! While safety is important, deck equipment is more than safety gear. You can also get slides and diving boards for your pool. Go ahead and get a modern white diving board to go with your new handrail! These deck equipment items take your pool from a pretty fun way to spend the afternoon to the best spot in town.
