What decking material works best around a pool in San Diego?
Capped composite with a brushed or embossed surface texture is the most practical choice: it is slip-resistant when wet, does not absorb water, and holds up in chlorine splash zones. Ipe and other tropical hardwoods are also popular around pools for their dense grain and natural slip resistance. We steer clients away from smooth-top composite and most painted or sealed woods near the water edge.
Does pool decking require a separate permit?
In most San Diego jurisdictions, yes. Pool barrier code compliance and structural attachment to an existing deck or house both trigger permit requirements. We coordinate the pool deck permit with the pool building permit when both are in progress simultaneously.
