Re: Deck is finally started
How much of a gap did you leave between pool top rail and decking. Also did you bolt all of you 2x6 to your 4x4 post. I am going to be building a deck in a cpl weeks just looking for any good ideals.

Re: Deck is finally started
I didn't leave a gap at all. I figure to use hooks to hold the winter cover down or bungee cords. Yes its all bolted together. Now the process for a really nice furniture set has started. Leaning towards wicker as we have had that on the front patio for 3 yrs and it looks brand new still.

Re: Deck is finally started
Ok got the little deck done leading up to the pool deck also. Now I just have to decide what I want to use to cover the open bottom of the pool deck. Thinking 5/4 board vertical or the new vertical lattice. Then its the paver patio to move the grill down in front of the stairs on the lower deck and finally I think I am good for awhile. The rattan wicker furniture is also on the way along with the patio heater.
The sparkling water and the roover..
The new furniture we have coming.

Re: Deck is finally started
This is exactly what I want around my pool. Could you please tell me how far apart are the outside 4x4s (the ones that end up being part of the railing)? Also, you said the poles next to the pool are about 20" out. Did you double the poles to compensate for the angles?
Thanks sooo much! It looks GREAT!!

Re: Deck is finally started
Its finally pool time again. Snagged some new stairs and an awesome led light for them. Still the best money I ever spent for the pool was the rover. Also this yr its time to coat the deck and I am leaning towards one time wood as I have been reading on coating for about 2 weeks. Seems most r VERY happy with that product.

Great job! I wish our deck was that large! I envy you for that and the rover... Diver Dave/Dan... whatever his name is, just isn't working for us.

Re: Deck is finally started
That is amazing!
I know everyone says decks are a lot of work but not as difficult as they seem, I'm doubting it would go well if I tried to make one. I was looking at prices of materials on deckplans.com and a smaller deck, I think it was 12x12 had an estimated material cost of $1k.
Maybe next summer we can give it a shot. (too many other projects that need to get done first)
