What to do with large blank wall above pool area?
Comments (46)Thanks everyone for your further comments. No problem about it being an old post, always nice to communicate with people about design solutions/problems. Jilly, I posted some photos on 1st January 2016, they appear further up in the post. Garden Beet Pty Ltd, and Morel Construction Ltd, both of your solutions look great, but our problem still remains the western Queensland sun which is pretty vicious on anything that will either wilt, fade or break down. It was quite a difficult challenge to come up with something that was affordable, workable and durable. I would love to have had plants because I believe they soften large "hard" exterior areas, but we have decided that we will do that with pots around the pool area. Still have that to do, even after all this time. :) Thanks everyone for re-igniting this chat. Jilly, hope you find something that works for you....See MoreNeed ideas for nice plants around pool area?
Comments (10)My piece of advice would be to make sure the plants you select can tolerate being around a pool. This will definitely be a 'splash zone' so any plant species that will get damaged or not cope with salty or chlorinated water. As an example, I have seen a beautiful row of Black Mondo Grass that suffered greatly from the pool water and died. Also be mindful of the size of plants you might be planting close to your pool. Plants with invasive roots or large palms can cause damage to the strucutre of your pool so their locations should be carefully considered. Good luck!...See MoreDeck over concrete in swimming pool area
Comments (3)We have a really unique wood look product which is non porous and has the highest anti-slip rating of any decking on the market (that includes hardwoods and WPC), so it's ideal for wet areas, such as swimming pools; https://www.forteflooring.co.nz/product/catalogue/millboard-decking https://www.millboard.co.uk/ It's more stable than plastic composites, doesn't fade as much as them, is more realistic, last longer, more stable against the UV, the lighter colours don't heat up as hot as WPC decking. Send email if you would like some samples, and to discuss further: carlo@forteflooring.co.nz 0212284018 Cheers Carlo...See MoreLandscaping and pool area - need help/advice
