I have a REALLY old kool deck that is beyond repair. Massive cracks
and chipping up everywhere. What I would like to do is to have it grind down (while the slope is maintained) and have tile put on. I hear travertine is nice for hot weather, I live in AZ. Just wondering if anyone else has some good ideas. Keith |

Just wondering if anyone else has some good ideas. Keith What caused the massive cracks? If it is settling do you think it has stopped? I'd want to know that before I put expensive tile on it. My pool deck settled and I removed the loose concrete, used Bondo Household putty to fill the cracks, and then painted with deck paint. If it settles more I can just fill in and paint. Cost was probably $70.00. I took a piece of the deck to HD and matched the color. It's holding up well so far. I could see where the previous owner did some sort of recoating but it didn't stop the settling. I'll bet he was ****ed. od |
