Diving board during reno??

[JHCB]

Hello
We are getting ready to renovate our pool and pool deck by adding travertine pavers. We have a diving board and decided to keep it. I've asked my PB but waiting for a response as to how they will handle....but just wanted to educate myself on what my options are. Is there a way to raise the diving board so that the base will sit on the new pavers....or do they have to keep the diving board where it is...and then install the pavers around it. Anyone have experience with this?
Thank you!!

Depends what your diving board base is and how it is anchored.

Usually the diving board anchors are cemented into the deck and the bolts are rusted so itis difficult to remove. You can't anchor a diving board into pavers.

Chances are you need to work around your existing diving board base.

If the "spring" is still serviceable, I bet they will take it off (more like cut the bolts) and pour a new concrete base to anchor it. Then lay pavers around that. That is my guess.
