All decks shall be constructed of continuous pour concrete or other approved impervious material which shall have a smooth, non-slip finish. All decks shall have a slope of not less than one to forty-eight or more than one to twenty-four and shall be designed to conduct drainage away from the swimming pool in a manner that will not create a slip hazard or contribute to the pooling of water.
