This video is about us showing you how to pour and broom finish a huge concrete pool deck.

We poured this concrete deck in two pours to make it easier for us to give it a broom finish. We did both pours the same day so we could finish it up.

Pouring a concrete pool deck with a broom finish requires some timing when you start the finishing process. You'll only have a short amount of time to mag and broom the surface before it gets too hard (or dry) on you.

If you're timing is right, and you have plenty of man/woman power, then this type of finish is pretty easy.

This was a 2700 sq. ft. concrete deck that took 32 yards of concrete. We use 4000 psi concrete with fibermesh and air-entrainment on all our exterior concrete pours.

On this pool deck we installed 2" of styrofoam under the concrete to help protect it from frost heaves in the winter months. We live and work in Maine, USA.
