Welcome to the forum! :handshake:

I would suggest you search the forum. Use the search box in the upper right of this page.

If you are interested in learning about TFPC, I suggest you read Pool School - ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry and consider reviewing the entire Trouble Free Pool School book.

You may also want to get the Pool Math app.

Hit hardware store websites like lows, home depo, etc they have online deck builders that will help you out with the design and materials list

Doubler, I used the Lowes deck builder tool for my deck design. It worked pretty well. I didn't actually BUY the materials from Lowes, but the web tool gave me a good idea how I wanted to proceed.


See my build thread for a screen shot....

I can’t seem to make any changes on the Lowe’s deck designer...

Really? Did you choose the "Design from scratch - Custom Design" box? It makes you agree to terms of service, gives you 2 or 3 boxes with some basic instructions how to build and change views and then lets you resize the whole deck, add steps, add upper and lower levels, change decking materials, add hand rails, basic outdoor furniture, show the house walls, add cut-outs to the deck shape, etc. Pretty cool junk in there. At the end of your design session, you can even choose the upper right button for "Materials" to list materials and approx. cost.

I'm not a huge fan of Lowes store but I really like this online tool.

I finally figured it out. There were a couple of tools that just didn’t seem to work & there was one rail left that I absolutely couldn’t remove.lol.
