Planning Your Pool Deck
Everything you need to know about designing and configuring your custom walkable pool cover. Review each section carefully before using our configurator.
Start Configurator1. Opening Direction
The opening direction of your pool deck is one of the most important decisions in the planning phase. We offer four main configurations:
Short Side Rails
The deck opens along the short side of the pool. Ideal for narrow spaces and gardens with limited length.
Long Side Rails
The deck slides along the long side of the pool. Best for pools with open space on one side.
Telescopic Two-Piece
Two deck sections slide over each other. Perfect for limited parking space when the deck is open.
Side-by-Side Two-Piece
Two sections slide in opposite directions. Ideal for very large pools or symmetrical garden designs.
2. Wheels, Rails & Hardware
Our rail systems are the backbone of every pool deck installation. We use only premium materials designed to withstand years of outdoor exposure.
- Galvanized steel rails - cost-effective solution with excellent durability
- Stainless steel (V2A/V4A) - premium option for saltwater pools and coastal areas
- Heavy-duty wheels with sealed bearings for smooth, quiet operation
- Movement clearance built-in for thermal expansion compensation
- Surface rust on galvanized steel can be easily removed with a scotch sponge
3. Powder Coating & Color
Customize your pool deck frame with professional powder coating in any RAL color. This process provides:
- Superior corrosion resistance for aluminum frames
- UV-stable colors that won't fade in sunlight
- Aesthetic integration with your outdoor space
- Protection against pool chemicals (chlorine, salt)
- Popular colors: RAL 7016 (Anthracite Grey), RAL 9005 (Jet Black), RAL 9016 (Traffic White)
4. Water Drainage Plates
Our 1mm aluminum drainage plates are essential components that protect the pool water and mechanical systems.
- Prevents debris from falling into the pool when deck is closed
- Channels rainwater away from the pool surface
- Protects against salt, chlorine, and chemical damage
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Available in matching powder-coated colors
5. Brush Sealing System
Brush seals minimize gaps between deck panels and edges, providing thermal insulation and debris protection.
Standard Brush Seals
Effective sealing for most installations. Reduces heat loss and keeps debris out.
Premium Brush Seals
Enhanced density for maximum insulation. Recommended for heated pools and cold climates.
Precise installation is critical - even small gaps can significantly impact thermal efficiency.
6. WPC/Wood Decking Configuration
The surface of your pool deck can be customized with various materials. Our substructure is designed to accommodate different decking types.
- Standard support spacing: 800mm - suitable for most composite decking
- Reinforced spacing: 450mm maximum - required for certain wood types and stone
- WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) - low maintenance, slip-resistant, durable
- Natural hardwood options - premium appearance, requires regular maintenance
- Natural hardwood options - premium appearance, requires regular maintenance
- Artificial turf - unique aesthetic, soft underfoot
7. Motorized Drive System
Upgrade to our optional motorized system for effortless one-touch operation. The 24V motor system includes:
- 24V DC motor - safe, low voltage operation
- Wireless remote control with multiple channels
- Soft start/stop for smooth, quiet movement
- Manual override capability during power outages
- Auto-stop safety sensors
- Auto-stop safety sensors
- Opening/closing time: approximately 45-60 seconds
8. Foundation & Substructure
A solid foundation is essential for smooth operation and longevity. We offer two substructure options:
Short Foundation
Compact design for level surfaces. Lower profile, easier installation.
Long Foundation
Extended support for uneven terrain. 3D adjustable bearings compensate for surface irregularities.
- 3D adjustable bearings included for precise leveling
- Hot-dip galvanized steel construction
- Hot-dip galvanized steel construction
- Can accommodate height differences up to 50mm
9. Step Arm Brackets
For pool decks with a height greater than 280mm, cantilever step arm brackets provide additional support and stability.
- Required for deck heights exceeding 280mm
- Cantilever design distributes weight evenly
- Stainless steel construction for durability
- Can be combined with step treads for easy access
- Custom lengths available for specific requirements
