How and when should I water my concrete decking?

After your concrete decking is applied, it’s important to wait 24 hours before starting the watering process. This allows the surface to begin its initial curing.

To ensure proper curing, water the concrete at least twice daily or up to three times a day during warmer months. Overwatering is not a concern, so continue watering consistently for up to 30 days. However, a minimum of two weeks of regular watering is highly recommended to achieve optimal curing results.

Proper watering is essential to prevent cracking and ensure your concrete decking reaches its full strength and durability.

Can I modify my decking during construction?

Yes, decking modifications can be made before the concrete is poured. Prior to pouring, a deck spray-out will be done, which provides a layout of the deck area. At this stage, you can discuss any desired changes or adjustments with your Project Manager.

It’s best to make decisions on decking modifications during this phase to ensure your pool’s design aligns with your vision.
