Green Point has that mix of city buzz and coastal calm – the stadium, the Waterfront, the park and promenade, plus all the tucked-away courtyards and terraces in between. If your pool is surrounded by basic concrete, old tiles or a layout that never really worked, it can feel like you’re wasting one of the best parts of your home. The right pool decking can change that completely.
At Cape Pools, we offer pool decking design and installation in Green Point and across the Atlantic Seaboard. We work with apartments, townhouses, freestanding homes and guest accommodation, helping you turn the area around your pool into a proper entertainment space instead of just “the edge of the water”.
We build decks in timber and composite, and can blend them into your existing coping, paving and levels so the finished space looks intentional, not bolted on. We look at how you actually use the area – where you get sun and shade, where you’d like seating or loungers, how you move between the house, braai and pool – and then suggest a layout that’s practical, comfortable and easy to maintain.
Green Point also comes with its own realities: tighter plots, boundary walls, coastal air, the occasional strong wind and shared access routes. We design and install your pool decking with all of that in mind, paying attention to drainage, slip resistance, structure, privacy and how to keep sand, dust and garden debris from constantly ending up in the pool.
Whether you’re closer to the stadium, the park, Main Road or tucked away in one of the quieter back streets, our aim is simple – build a solid, good-looking deck that makes your pool area feel finished and ready for relaxed evenings, braais and weekends at home. From first ideas and material choices right through to installation, we guide you through every step.

Yes. We only install materials around your pool with non-slip properties and ensure proper drainage to prevent puddling or slippery surfaces.
The best material for your pool decking depends on your style, usage, budget, and how much maintenance you're comfortable with. In Western Cape’s climate — with intense summer sun, winter rains, and salty coastal air — it's important to choose a material that’s both durable and weather-resistant.
Here are the most common options:
Timber (Wood Decking):
Popular choices like balau, garapa, pine, and other hardwoods offer a natural, warm look. However, they require regular sealing and maintenance to prevent warping, fading, or rot in Western Cape's changing conditions.
Composite Decking (e.g. Trex):
Composite decking combines recycled wood and plastic to create a durable, low-maintenance material. Trex, a premium composite brand, is especially popular for pool areas thanks to its resistance to moisture, fading, splinters, and termites. It stays cooler underfoot and mimics the look of wood without the upkeep.
Tiles:
Non-slip porcelain or ceramic tiles can create a clean, modern finish around your pool. Outdoor-rated tiles are ideal, but they must be installed with proper drainage to prevent slipping or lifting.
Stone Pavers:
Natural stones like travertine, sandstone, and granite are heat-resistant, slip-resistant, and visually stunning. They're durable but more expensive and require solid sub-base preparation.
Concrete (Brushed or Stamped):
Concrete is affordable and versatile. It can be stamped, stained, or textured for a custom look, and sealed for water resistance.
PVC or Plastic Decking:
Fully synthetic and moisture-proof, PVC options offer a smooth, low-maintenance finish, though they’re less common and can get hot underfoot.
Rubber or Poured Surfaces:
Typically used in commercial or child-friendly areas for extra safety. Soft, slip-resistant, and heat-resistant but less common for residential projects.
At Cape Pools, we help you select the right material for your pool area based on your design goals, budget, and long-term expectations — whether it’s classic timber, high-performance Trex decking, or modern tiles and stone.
Absolutely. We can design and install decking as an upgrade to older pools, working around existing layouts and features.
Most pool decking projects take 2–5 days, depending on the size, material, and site prep needed. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront.
Timber requires regular sealing or oiling, while composite and tiles need only occasional cleaning. We’ll advise on care based on the material you choose.
