I have concrete pool deck. We painted it and after 1 year it is peeling. What did we do wrong?

Dan's of Central Florida, Inc. on Apr 01, 2011Hi Sharon, What type of paint did you use? Normal exterior house type paint will not stand up to the rigors of being on a pool deck. They sell special paints and stains for concrete pool decks. Did you use one of those?Helpful Reply

Bonafide Concrete Resurfacing and Decks on May 28, 2011Agree with both of the above. Paint on concrete just doesn't work. There are many time tested coatings for pool decks that make the deck cooler, better looking and non-slip. The paint must be removed before anything else can be applied.Helpful Reply

Itsreally C on May 29, 2011The #1 reason was that you 'painted' it - there isn't any paint that's permanent for conc however there are attractive coatings that are fairly permanent. Keep in mind nothing is -no-maintenance !Helpful Reply
