Pool decks built for wet feet and GTA winters

A pool deck is the hardest-working surface in any backyard. It is wet all summer, walked on with bare feet, splashed with chlorinated or salt water, and then frozen solid all winter. That combination destroys ordinary decking fast — which is why a proper pool deck is a specialist build, not a standard one. Deck Master Inc. has designed and built pool surrounds across Toronto and the GTA for over 20 years, and we build them to stay safe, dry underfoot and beautiful for decades.

The right materials for a pool surround

Around water, traction and comfort matter more than anything. We build most pool decks in capped composite and mineral-based boards because they are splinter-free, slip-resistant even when wet, and shrug off pool chemicals, moisture and mould without staining or rotting. Unlike pressure-treated wood, composite never needs sanding or sealing and won't send a splinter into a bare foot. For low decks right at water level, we often specify mineral-based composite that is rated for constant wet, ground-contact conditions.

Safety, privacy and code

Every pool in Ontario needs a compliant barrier, and your municipality has specific pool-enclosure and gate requirements. We design decks that work with your fencing and gates, keep clearances right, and finish with the features that make a pool area feel like a private retreat: glass railings that preserve sightlines to the water, and privacy screens that block neighbours and wind. Where you want an unobstructed view of the pool, frameless glass railings are the premium choice.

Designed around your pool

Whether you have an inground, above-ground or a hot-tub-and-pool combination, we design the deck around how you actually use the space — sun-lounging zones, a dining area, shade from a pergola, and safe steps and landings. For inspiration and the practical details, our pool deck installation guide is a good place to start, and you can see finished pool decks in our project gallery.

Serving pool owners across the GTA

We build pool decks throughout Toronto and the surrounding region. Every project is handled by our own WSIB-insured crews, backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's material warranty — which can run 25 years or longer on composite boards.

What is the best material for a pool deck in the GTA?

Capped composite and mineral-based composite are the best choices for GTA pool decks. They are slip-resistant when wet, splinter-free, and resist pool chemicals, fading and freeze-thaw damage — with no annual staining. Pressure-treated wood costs less up front but can splinter and needs constant maintenance in a wet area.

How much does a pool deck cost in Toronto?

Composite pool decks in the GTA typically run about $45–$75 per square foot installed, depending on the board line, deck height, railings and site access. We provide a free, detailed quote after a site visit.

Do I need a permit or fence for a pool deck?

Pools in Ontario require a compliant enclosure and gates, and a raised pool deck usually requires a building permit. We design to your municipality's pool-enclosure requirements and handle the deck permit for you.

Can you build a deck around an existing pool?

Yes. We regularly build new decks and surrounds around existing inground and above-ground pools, matching the layout to your pool, fencing and how you use the yard.
