Pics Finished Intex ultraframe rectangular 18x9 with deck

Thought I'd share a few pics of our little pool & the deck (mini-deck? landing?) Next year we plan to deck over the existing patio and have a much bigger area around the pool. My husband insisted the entire landing could not be level with the top frame of the pool b/c the deck blocks he used specified only to hold up to 30". That's really the one thing that bugs me!

I still can't figure out how to landscape around the pool though because the braces stick out a couple of feet. There aren't many pictures online of the rectangular Intex pool, other than stock photos!

a few more...

daughter's idea to repurpose the old swingset rock climbing wall into a bridge from the patio...

this is not a pool shot but gives you an idea of just how small/slanted our yard is!

That looks great! Looks like you planned the patio with the pool in mind. How did you like working with those foundation blocks/piers. I also plan on using them on my deck to be built.

I think the mini deck is about as cute as can be. Nice lookin family there too :~}

Your neighbors w/the easy set must be a tad jealous, eh?

Amazing job! I am wanting to do the same thing you did, setting up the pool off an existing patio and building a small deck to connect the two, but I'll probably go with the 16' X 32' Rectangle instead. Your setup looks so nice. If you're looking with something to go around the pool, I suggest synthetic mulch. It's made of rubber so it wouldn't hurt the pool liner but it looks nice and has many color options.

I saw your picture of your pool deck. I have the same pool and would like to build a similar deck. Did you have building plans that you purchased?

Here's how we dealt with landscaping.... all said and done (without the deck) it was about $600 for the stone, timbers and a couple of guys for a day.

We finally finished our side deck for our intex 12 x 24 this past weekend
The deck almost cost as much as the pool, of course I got the pool at pre season sale.

What kind of ladder did you use on your intex pool? Was worried about the rounded sides.

Do you have any pics of your deck? I'm really interested in how you built the deck against the rails. Did you go above the rails?
