We decided to go with ceramic tile for our pool decking because we felt like it would be easier as a DIY. We’ve laid plenty of tile in the past and felt confident that we could get the job done and be happy with the end result.

This is by far the easier way, but more expensive since you are paying for the door, the frame, the hinges and the labor involved in hanging the doors.
