This contemporary pool installed in 2019 has had time to relax into the environment and blossom. The customer wanted to extend their living area off the deck into the pool area. A small step was introduced to differentiate the areas but still give unhindered views and easy access to the pool.
An Aussie UnderCover was used to conceal their pool cover in the hardwood deck so the views remained pristine and unrestricted by a regular above ground pool cover roller. 19mm hardwood was used on the lid frame which ensures that the pool cover completely disappears within the decking.
Structurally the Aussie UnderCover system was designed into the decking at the end of the pool to take advantage of an otherwise unused area. The raised decking area was built using tiered crib retaining walls made from treated pine sleeper. As it was raised above ground level, the pool equipment was also stored under the house so nothing disrupts the beauty of the location.
