French term

plage de piscine

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Building materials - ground coatings
Would we call this a 'swimming pool surround' or is there another term, if I have understood the concept correctly. This is taken from the specification of a mortar used as a covering for various outdoor ground surfaces.

Actually, I did not suggest deck because after 13 years in Canada, deck would be wood (groan)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I think the choice here is a matter for the Atlantic divide. I am sure 'Deck' would be fine for a US readership - whereas in the UK it has connotations of wood being involved, which is clearly not the case in this context. "

pool deck

This is what I've always heard and seen for all kinds of pools. City pools have rules that say "no running on pool deck"...
The link has some beautiful pictures of pool decks.
