Reslope Pool Deck
Reslope Pool Deck
(OP)
The elevated community pool in Key West has a twelve-foot wide deck all around it that slopes three inches toward the pool. We need to slope it three inches away from the pool, so we need to add an impervious overlay of six inches at the pool edge and narrow it to almost nothing at the far edge twleve feet away. Weight is a problem. We need something weighing no more than 40 pcf and that can be built using local contractors. Anybody have any ideas?





RE: Reslope Pool Deck
If this is a wood deck, why not use a plywood overlay over new sleepers and apply a waterproof membrane over it...
If it is concrete, you might try 3" of lightweight concrete over a tapered rigid insulation filler as needed. Even normal weight would work at 40 psf. But the thickness would still taper to zero at the outside edge and would be a problem unless you can maintain the 3" depth throughout.

He said 40 pcf for an "impervious overlay", which may be the reason for no suggestions before yours.

Then just hot tar the darn thing and call it good.
Provide an acetone footwash at the side of the pool too.
