Poolside Decking Installation with CleverDeck from Futurewood

Decking Installation for Poolsides and other areas with Water Features

Decking installation for Poolsides are becoming popular in Australian properties. Decking, after all, is a great way to enhance the look of an area that surrounds water features without the need for complicated renovations or a design overhaul. Whether the project is improvisational or intricate, major considerations have always been focused on finding the right decking materials.

The point being that outdoor areas with water features require decking materials that have higher consistency with the safety and quality standards, but a low requirement in terms of maintenance. Specifically designed to meet these new criteria, CleverDeck composite decking solution from Futurewood offers a great alternative.

Clever Choice, Smart Alternative: CleverDeck Composite Decking

As the traditional timber decking is no longer a popular option due to the depleting source, environmental concerns, and high-maintenance issues, more decking projects for areas with water features are utilizing composite and plastic decking products - and for a great deal of practical reasons. Exterior decking application areas with water features such as pools, tubs, or fountains, CleverDeck could easily pass as the best pick among the newly available decking materials on the market.

Being a wood composite material, CleverDeck is a high-quality, sophisticated, and environmentally sustainable timber alternative product. It is easy to install, virtually maintenance-free, and fully complements the functionality requirements that are typically laid out when decking a water-surrounded area.

CleverDeck Benefits:

- Non-slip and Low Water-absorption Rate. CleverDeck is moisture-resistant and has a very low water-absorption rate. This means that the water splashed on the deck dries up quickly, preventing moulds to grow. With these capabilities, slip accidents are avoided. CleverDeck is an ideal decking solution for outdoor spaces that are constantly exposed to water or subjected to wetting on a regular basis, like outdoor swimming pool areas and hot tub flooring.

- Barefoot-friendly. CleverDeck is a DIY solution. Nails are not needed. It can be easily installed using the custom-made NewTech Deck Clips. During installation, these clips are concealed and would not be felt when stepped on. Additionally, there would be no knot holes. Unlike the conventionally used timber, CleverDeck is made from quality wood-plastic composite. Thus, it does not shrink and would not rot, cup, twist, warp, crack, distort, or splinter.

- Low-maintenance and Cost-effective. CleverDeck is delivered fully furnished. There is no need for oiling, painting, or application of other chemicals. Treated with an antifungal solution during the manufacturing process, the product is resistant to termites and has complete protection from the growth of bacteria. As a low-maintenance alternative to timber, CleverDeck is a cost-effective solution because it requires very little upkeep.

Ideal Decking Solution for Areas with Water Features

Futurewood's decking materials have in fact been successfully used in a number similar environments, like Busselton's Aqua Resort, who opted to replace the timber decking in their main pool and boardwalk area with CleverDeck.

Seaside properties like Perth's City Beach Surf Club also integrated the same solution from Futurewood during its major renovation of the property four years ago. Needing a more weather-resistant decking material due to its proximity to the ocean, Perth's City Beach Surf Club settled for the best option: Futurewood's SaltBush composite decking complemented by Futurewood's 86-millimetre, custom-made decking that served as cladding material for the property's planter boxes.

Another perfect example would be the product's application in SeaWorld located on the Gold Coast. Its high requirement for a rot-resistant, low-maintenance, and more importantly, water-absorbent decking material for its seal enclosure made the choice easy for the property managers to pick CleverDeck. With a normal high presence of salt water and heavy foot traffic, SeaWorld benefits from CleverDeck's optimum performance which started at least three years ago.
