Does your pool need a deck? You have a few options to consider, but here's our pitch: try brick pavers. Not only are they beautiful, but they're also sturdy. Here are three benefits of brick pavers for your consideration.

Water Resistance and Durability

Brick pavers don't absorb much. When you get a brick paver deck for your pool, you're getting a deck made of a material that's resistant to spills, splashes, and sunlight. Not all materials are so durable. According to Home Light, concrete absorbs water and salt unless coated well with a sealant. As for wood planks, those need a yearly cleaning and staining. While upkeep is still necessary if you want your brick pavers to look as good as the day they were installed, the cleaning process is easier than others. In most cases, all you need is a simple broom.

Customizability

When it comes to brick pavers, you have many more options than you might think. While even the classic red look can be a stunning statement piece for your yard, there are other possibilities. It's not just a matter of color, either. You can work with your contractors to customize the color, size, and interlocking pattern design of the brick pavers. You could go with a herringbone design, a hexagonal design, or a diamond one. Plus, they're man-made. That means you can get identical replacements with relative ease.

Safety

When children or grandparents come to visit, it can quickly become apparent when a slippery surface is dangerous. After all, you don't want anyone to get hurt. This is never an issue for brick. The texture is rough enough to create friction, but not so rough as to be uncomfortable to walk on. If you're looking for a balance between safety and comfort, brick pavers are the choice for your pool area. Since splashes are inevitable, it's best to prepare with safe outdoor materials.
