Pressure-Treated Wood Pool Deck in Lakewood
Completed pressure-treated wood deck surrounding an above-ground pool in Lakewood, Colorado
About this project
Abricos LLC built this pressure-treated wood deck from the ground up for a Lakewood homeowner in 2024. The new outdoor structure was constructed around an existing above-ground pool and includes a large deck surface, integrated access around the pool, wood guardrails and two stair approaches connecting the elevated deck to the yard.
What the homeowner wanted
The homeowner wanted a functional outdoor deck that would make the above-ground pool easier to access while creating additional space for movement and outdoor use. The deck needed to follow the pool layout, accommodate the sloped yard and provide secure stair and railing connections.
Original site condition
The project area contained the existing above-ground pool but did not have a completed deck surrounding it. The changing grade around the pool required the new framing and access points to be planned around the existing landscape and pool position.

Building around the existing pool and sloped yard
Challenge
The deck footprint needed to follow the existing pool while spanning a yard with changing elevations. The framing layout also needed to support the deck surface, railing runs and multiple stair connections without interfering with the pool perimeter.
Solution
Abricos LLC organized the framing around the pool geometry and adjusted the deck footprint to the site conditions. The deck surface, perimeter framing, railings and stair approaches were constructed as one coordinated outdoor structure.

The completed Lakewood pool deck
The completed pressure-treated wood deck provides an elevated outdoor area around the existing pool with defined walking space, perimeter railings and stair access to the yard. The finished structure transforms the previously undeveloped area around the pool into a connected outdoor-living space.
