All, I’ve learned a lot from the forums and decided to post my progress.
I’m in week two of installing the deck stone. I’m curious what all I’m not thinking of. I just thought of umbrella sleeves to install in the deck after getting really focused on the rock. I’m doing it all mostly myself but hired some muscle for the 2’x4’x2&1/4” at 200 lbs a piece. I decided against traditional coping and the bond beam. It’s a fiberglass pool, 17k gallons. I have two 2” pipes under the deck for future water features or maybe a slide. What else should I include?
