I’ve got a pool deck I built for a client about 12 years ago. The pool has several curves and the owner was a wooden boat builder. There is no way to put a slope into the deck as it joins the sliders to the pool at the same level and the ply is caulked right to the concrete edge, flush with the top. He wanted the decking made from Marine grade ply which we did. I did warn him that it would not last as long. Well, he has passed on and his DW now noticed that where the ply and the concrete rim meet the ply is soft. She wants it redone with the ply again, I’m ok with that. My question is of the new surface coverings what would be the best to “repaint” the old and new areas with? It was done with an elastomeric type material years ago, but that allowed some moisture to penetrate and lift the top surface. We will sand/scrape the ply to bare wood again, but what should we put down. Too many new products on the market????

Check out their pool deck coatings as well as their "MiraFlex II Decking System."
They use a thickly painted on (40 mills thick for each of two coats) waterproofing that goes under the decorative thin flexible (and totally tintable and finishable to your desire) engineered concrete coating. Their MPC product.
I just used it on a wooden deck in Michigan to create a waterproof, fireproof, and near maintenance free surface. And I notice that when cured (about a day) and sealed, acid washing doesn't touch the stuff.
Mahalo for the site, I will send in a query to their Rep. and see if we can get it out here.Never fear the want of business. A man who qualifies himself well for his calling, never fails of employment.
