A pool deck in Coogee is the ultimate outdoor upgrade — imagine entertaining on a stunning deck while taking in the coastal breeze just streets from the beach. But pool decking comes with specific requirements around safety, slip resistance, and durability.
Best Materials for Pool Decking in Coogee
Composite Decking
Our top pick for pool areas. Composite decking is slip-resistant, splinter-free, and doesn’t absorb water. It won’t warp or rot even when constantly exposed to pool water and salt air. Perfect for Coogee homes.
Spotted Gum & Ironbark Hardwood
These dense Australian hardwoods are naturally slip-resistant when wet and are beautiful around pools. They do require annual oiling to maintain their condition in a pool environment.
Pool Safety Requirements in Coogee (Randwick Council)
Pool decking in NSW must comply with Australian Standard AS 1926. Key requirements include:
- Non-slip surface finish (we use grooved or brushed finishes)
- Proper drainage away from the pool edge
- Pool fence compliance (we can assist with this too)
How Much Does Pool Decking Cost in Coogee?
Pool decking typically costs $550–$900 per m² installed for composite, or $450–$700 per m² for hardwood. The extra cost over a standard deck reflects the additional drainage and safety requirements.
