Would have to be a good grade as I know of a block of flats in La Manga who's grass went blue from the chlorine and had to be replaced. My advice would be to check into the effects the chemicals will have before investing.

I would have it re-tiled, even a good vacuum will not get all the rubbish out of artificial grass, tiles are so easy to clean with broom and hose. Tiling my cost a bit more but if you have to have grass replaced in two years you will be wishing you had tiled in first place. All the best. Mike in Almoradi.

I''d go for a good quality AstroTurf. Easy to repair, and much kinder on the feet. Tiles get so hot.

Round the pool tiles all day long chlorine and sun will damage the grass it is not not easy to clean and will gather a lot of dirt underneath, great as part of the garden but not round the pool, also small sharp objects of any sort can't easily be seen when you have bare feet yes tiles get hot but you are not normally standing around.
