What type of lumber is best for wood pool decks?

You can use almost any type of wood for a wood pool deck as long as the wood has been pressure treated for outdoor use and you observe proper care and maintenance. The most commonly used lumber for this project is pine. This is because it is relatively inexpensive and readily available. If you are creating an outdoor space as an extension of your living space, you may opt for a more elegant wood. Teak is popular for this due to its intricate design and durability. It also holds natural oils, which makes this type of lumber bug repellent and resistant to mold.
