    Concrete sealer never looks good

    p.s. don't get a water base sealer. And stay away for any thing with a para-fin wax in it as it will turn yellow over time

    Concrete sealer never looks good

    call your local concrete redi mix plant ask them what they recommend for a high gloss sealer. I'm a concrete contractor in minn. for 35 yrs. and do a lot of pool decks.

    Although it's snowing in West Michigan....

    P.S remember to set your steps low enough , so that when you close your cover it won"t hit the corners of the steps, because the lead pole will sag about 2" in 20'. the new cover motors are much faster, and it would bang hard when it hit, maybe doing damage to the cover.

    with your steps outside the pool you will have to have a top mount track , we have a under mount so you don"t see it. the new covers now have a flush mount top track which is really cool. you don't have a track sticking up on top of the concrete deck.we also use ours as a winter cover.Brad
