Concrete deck refinish, forced early open.

[PoolStored]

Had to open tonight, mesh safety cover had to be off before they come. Only had help tonight. Lots of refinishing pics coming! TFP open! Little bit of haze is from a quick brush.

Let the refinishing begin! Can't wait to see how it goes!

Very clean for a pool that was just opened!

What is your plan for the refinish (surface, coping etc.)?

Wish my pool opened that clean with a mesh cover

Sand Blast, then decide antiquing or not, the seal (still debating on Deco-Crete D1 acrylic or Silane/Siloxane hybrid...likely the hybrid).

Deck refinisher bailed today, worker called in sick. Got a bunch of fence done!

Rocking and rolling now! What a mess.

Do you plan on just vacuuming the sand and dirt that gets in the pool to waste? I am guessing a fair bit will get in as they get closer to the pool. I would not think the blasting media is going to play well with you filter. Might even want to leave it off while there are working.

Pump is off. Plastic tarp is draped on top of solar cover and taped to coping. Should catch the vast majority.

Antiquing going down.

Ready for sealer later today!

Certainly better that the splotchy failed coloring/seal that was down. Will be interesting to see what it looks like when sealed.

Looks great! Hopefully not slippery when sealed. I used Shark Grip additive with a sealer after a few years. Not that effective. It seemed to not embed/adhere well. I just let my concrete fade to close to nothing - not slippery once the sealer was gone. I loved the look new, but am not a fan of redoing things. So plain-ish concrete it is.
