ᐅ Wood or stone for the area around the pool?

I would definitely lean towards stone as well, because it looks attractive and well-maintained, and it is also less expensive and much easier to maintain.

I think wood looks much nicer, but because of all the moisture, mold eventually develops, and in the end, it’s just not worth it.

Hi Martin,

You’re right when you say that wood looks much nicer. I also like wood a lot, but if you lay stone slabs, you’re on the safe side. I’ve seen several pools where everything was made of wood, and I can only say that most of them look terrible! That’s not how I would want my pool to be. So it’s better to choose stone.

This is an important and good tip. Otherwise, there are many types of wood that are naturally more suitable than others, for example teak. Ultimately, it is of course also a matter of price.

if you choose wood, you should ensure good drainage. If the wood cannot dry properly, it will become slippery over time. Additionally, fungi can then settle there and eventually damage the wood.
