Green Shoots Blog
Russ Caine from Poway, California loves to entertain. When it came time to update the pool decking, Russ knew he wanted a mixture of rough and smooth surfaces surrounding the pool. Russ’s design creatively utilizes pavers and Cali Bamboo’s TruOrganics Composite decking to create a composite pathway around the pool amongst the stone. Smooth and rough textures beautifully juxtaposed form an organic and inviting design. Russ’s kids and two pugs love the new pool decking and have already had their first big party celebrating the completion of the project. Russ looks forward to many more opportunities to entertain in his new backyard space.

How does the decking rate regarding heat?
Hi Evon,
I’ve done some testing of different brands of composite decking and I can tell you from brand to brand they all perform about the same. The big take-away from my tests was that the color of the decking material had much more to do with how hot it got and how long it held onto that heat. If you have kids and are concerned about your deck getting too hot, be sure to choose a lighter colored product. We have several light colors in our Bamdeck (Slate) and TruOrganics (Glacier, Mojave) lineups that stay cooler in direct sun.
