Transform Your Outdoor Space with a Durable, Stylish Finish

Your pool deck is more than just a functional space—it’s a centerpiece for relaxation and entertainment. If you’re thinking about giving it a fresh look, Shark Coatings can elevate your pool area with a sleek, durable, and low-maintenance surface. Here’s how we can help make your outdoor space better than ever.


Simple & Stress-Free Installation

Preparing for a Shark Coatings installation is easy. All you need to do is remove furniture and miscellaneous items from the area—there’s no need to clean or pressure wash beforehand. Our team handles all the prep work, including removing old paint and addressing minor cracks in your concrete or Kool Deck. If cracks are a concern, simply discuss them with your design specialist during your consultation to ensure the best results.

What to Expect from the Process

Our coatings are specifically designed for pool decks, patios, and surrounding areas, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • We expertly coat concrete and Kool Deck edges, but our product isn’t suited for marcite or the interior of the pool.
  • Expansion joints are not coated or replaced, but we’re happy to recommend solutions to maintain a polished look.
  • If your project involves French drains, any repairs or replacements should be completed before installation to ensure a seamless finish.

Most pool deck projects are completed within one to two days, and you can walk on your new surface just eight hours after installation. We recommend waiting 24 hours before placing furniture back in the space. However, factors like humidity and temperature can affect curing time, so it’s always best to consult your design specialist for personalized advice.

A Surface Built for Style & Performance

Beyond its sleek appearance, a Shark Coatings surface offers multiple benefits:

✔ Antimicrobial & Stain-Resistant – Keeps your pool deck cleaner and safer.
✔ Low-Maintenance & Easy to Clean – Spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying your space.
✔ Durable & Long-Lasting – Designed to withstand daily wear and tear.

If you’re planning additional upgrades, such as adding or replacing a screen enclosure, we recommend installing the concrete coating first. This allows our team to evenly coat the entire surface without obstructions, ensuring a flawless finish.

Keeping Your Pool Area Pristine

Concerned about debris getting into your pool during installation? While we install temporary plastic barriers to minimize this, a few flakes may still find their way into the water. Rest assured, they are harmless and easy to remove. For the best results, consider scheduling a professional pool cleaning after installation to complement your refreshed deck.

Find Your Perfect Color

Choosing the right color for your pool deck is an exciting part of the process! Our color guide offers plenty of inspiration to help you find the perfect shade—whether you’re going for a modern, sleek look or a timeless neutral.
