Cannonballs are fun and all, but there are times you just want to ease into your pool or hang out at waters edge. For times like those, choose from a variety of attractive designs, any of which will see to it that your aquatic ingress is as elegant as you want it to be.

Walk-Out Steps

 The 8′ walk-out Sit ‘n Step (pictured right) is the standard vinyl pool entry option. Located outside the the swimming pool area, these steps take up less swim area than in-pool steps. They are available in 6′ wide and several different color options, but white is predominantly the norm.

In-Pool Steps

The full length walk-in steps are one of our most popular choices. These steps are wide enough that adults and children alike can just sit ‘n relax or sit ‘n splash in the water instead of completely submerging themselves.

Our double corner in-pool steps with a full-length bench is also an option. In-pool steps are covered in the vinyl liner. In-pool liner steps have a  textured surface over the step areas to ensure they are slip resistant. The textured steps are available in several patterns and color options.

Pool patios have come along way from the days of the bland 3′ foot band of concrete that surrounds your pool and every other pool on the street. Each patio at Pools of Fun is custom designed to enhance the pool area. Below are some great examples of patios that are so beautiful that they take the design of the pool and kick-it up a notch.

Stamped Concrete

This Stamped concrete pool deck is a great example of how you can add a decorative element to the concrete patio around your pool. Stamped concrete pool decks is one of the biggest trends we see happening in pool decks. Customers enjoy how stamped concrete can replicate the look and texture of brick, slate or other traditionally expensive stone.

Concrete Pavers

Concrete pavers for your patio design provides unlimited possibilities in design concepts. You can choose amongst many different and beautiful colors. Different pavers have different shapes, textures, surfaces, colors and provide any number of different design ideas, from very modern to evoking the look of ancient Roman streets or the quaint and exquisite beauty of Europe hundreds of years ago. Additionally there are a vast number of patterns in which to lay the pavers.

 Limestone

Better yet – you can just forget the traditional pool patio and go for some really unique using Limestone pads. The two pool patios below are some of my favorites. This Indiana limestone is workable, beautiful, virtually maintenance free and the best part -affordable.

Make Your Pool Patio Beautiful

When it comes to your pool patio, I want to encourage you to think outside the 3′ Band of Concrete. Get creative. Show your unique sense of style. Remember a Pools of Fun design consultant will help you every step of the way.
