My pool deck isn't as nice as I would like. I need some information/advice on this. First of all, I'm not sure what kind of deck this is, I've heard someone call it "Kool-crete", so is that "concrete" or what? Take a look at the pics:
My biggest gripe is that it just looks dirty...there is some rust spots and greenish mold in some places, and there are alot of small little pressure cracks. The big ones have seemed to be filled in.
So my main questions are:
Can someone explain a little about the material (if you can tell from the pics)?
How should I clean this?
What can be done about these small cracks?
As you may tell I have no experience taking care of a pool or pool area. One more thing, my sub division has 100 homes, of which I think 80 or more have pools, and they all look "almost" the same...but I really can't find anyone's deck that looks like mine. Everyone else's deck looks like "real" concrete, like a side-walk...I wonder why mine looks different? My best uneducated guess is that the previous owner went cheap on the install.
