Many choices are available, from simple, circular styles that wrap around the circumference of the pool to elaborate multi-level designs. For the truly adventurous, above-ground pool decks can even incorporate outdoor kitchens and other popular outdoor living flourishes.
One of the biggest choices you'll need to make regarding your above-ground pool deck is what material to use for the decking surface.
