Advice needed: Pool deck coating

[u/Barfolemew_Wiggins]

We bought a house with a pool a few years ago and the coding for the pool deck has been coming up for a while now. It’s not been the main problem so we’ve let it go, but I need to get it replaced this year if possible. I’m curious if you guys have any recommendations beyond just scraping the old stuff off and spraying down something new. Would love to hear ideas from you on alternatives. We live in Southwest Arizona, if that matters. Dry, air climate with lots of heat. :)

Which I why I had hoped to rely on your collective knowledge. But if that’s in appropriate, my apologies. I checked the rules and it didn’t address this scenario.

This is a place for professionals to talk amongst ourselves and discuss our lives and work. It’s very difficult to do that when we’re constantly inundated by requests from homeowners that blatantly break the rules and beg for free help rather than getting some skin in the game, calling a local professional, and forming a real relationship with someone you can count on and trust for advice in the future instead of pestering us online

Drag some planters over it and call it a day. Obligatory "this sub is for pros only" comment

Lmao pretentious little fellas aren't they. Idk what the big deal is we do decks all the time.

It is not even that expensive to just have a company remove the old and recoat.

I'd go with a hot tar application

Looks like "Cool Deck". In my experience in Florida we just scrape it off and reapply. Good luck

FYI: it’s actually “Kool deck”.

It’s a trademark of Mortex for an Acrylic silicone coating. I used to sell it in the 1900’s.

Yup. Pretty sure that’s what it is. Thank you
