    How slippery is patterned/stamped concrete?

    The heat is manageable with pool shoes and/or sandals (Kino Sandals - Key West, Florida - the greatest product ever manufactured!), but slippery is a deal breaker.

    I am in the Dallas area. I have the exposed aggregate which eliminates the sip factor, but it is hot. I like the look of it so that is what we went with.
    The number of people staring at you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.

    Our pool just has a concrete decking around it with a "broomed" finish. Stays very cool and non-slippery. This pool is in full sunlight at 90-100 degree days!!
    The flatter the surface the hotter it will be. The broomed finish gives small ridges to the concrete which stay cool plus takes care of the slippery factor.
