Raised Platforms Built to Handle Weight

Custom deck installations designed for safety, longevity, and outdoor accessibility in Myrtle Beach

When you add a deck to your Myrtle Beach property, you need a structure that supports the weight of people, furniture, and grills without flexing or sagging, stays level over time, and connects to your house or yard in a way that makes sense for how you move between spaces. The deck has to handle sun, rain, and humidity without rotting or warping within a few years. Pools Installation Services Company builds custom decks with proper footing, load support, and materials chosen for low maintenance and long-term performance in coastal conditions common around Myrtle Beach.

The design process starts with understanding how you plan to use the deck, where it connects to your house or yard, and what kind of maintenance you want to deal with over time. You choose materials based on appearance and durability, and the deck is built with structural footings that go deep enough to stay stable in sandy or shifting soil. Each installation integrates with pools, patios, and landscape features so the finished deck looks intentional and functions as part of your outdoor layout.

Why Footing Depth Matters More Than Surface Choice

Your Myrtle Beach property is measured and assessed for soil type, elevation, and how the deck will attach to existing structures. Footings are dug and set below the frost line or to a depth that provides stability in coastal soil, and the frame is built to handle the load rating needed for your planned use. You work with the team to finalize deck size, railing style, and material based on how much upkeep you want to do.

Once the deck is finished, you have a stable, level platform that stays solid underfoot, drains water properly, and provides usable outdoor space that extends your living area. The structure is ready for furniture, planters, or built-in seating without additional reinforcement.

Installation includes coordination with existing pools, yard layouts, and house access points so the deck fits into the overall design without awkward transitions. The project does not include lighting, pergolas, or landscaping, but the deck is built to support those features if you add them later. Everything is designed to handle the kind of foot traffic and weather exposure Myrtle Beach decks experience year-round.

What Homeowners Want Settled First

Most people ask how deep the footings need to go, whether the deck will warp in the sun, and what material requires the least maintenance. These questions determine how the deck is built and what it looks like five years after installation.

How deep do deck footings need to be in Myrtle Beach?
Footings typically go at least two feet deep, or deeper if the soil is sandy or loose. The depth ensures the deck stays level and does not shift as the ground settles or erodes over time.
What deck materials require the least maintenance?
Composite and PVC decking resist rot, fading, and insect damage with minimal upkeep. Wood options like treated lumber or cedar require regular sealing and staining to maintain appearance and performance.
Why do some decks bounce or flex when you walk on them?
Decks bounce when the joist spacing is too wide or the framing is undersized for the load. Proper spacing and material sizing prevent that flex and make the deck feel solid underfoot.
Can a deck be built around an existing pool?
Yes, decks are often designed to connect or wrap around pool areas. The framing is built to match the pool elevation and designed to handle drainage from both surfaces.
How long does a deck installation take?
Most decks take one to three weeks depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Larger projects or those requiring significant grading or footing work may take longer.
