Jim so are you plans to tuck the boards just under the coping or to go over it?

Over, with just enough of a gap to easily get a winter/leaf cover on the pool.Jim so are you plans to tuck the boards just under the coping or to go over it?

Okay so long as you have someone small enough to crawl under there to attach whatever you are going to use to hold it on. Sis! OH sis!! I have a job for you!!

I should be able to (un)comfortably get in there.
That is going to be a massive deck!!! You will really love having the deck around the pool.
I'm adding 1,000 sq ft of deck. I figured I've never heard anyone say "boy I wish I had a smaller deck" so I'm building as big as I have space for.
You will say that........ when it comes time to clean and seal that monster, but it will sure be nice!
I built about 600sq ft. and for weeks I would wake up in the night tired from dreaming I was still driving screws into all that decking.
What are you using for decking? The bundle of advantech left me confused, thats a great subflooring product but not for an exposed deck.
Advantech with outdoor carpeting.
Before you say anything, I know exactly what you're going to say.
I'm sure.. lol
Oh my!!!! (In my best George Takei impersonation)
I was questioning my decision to go this big as I was seeing the framing going up, but with the sheeting on, I think it's perfect. I'm grinning from ear to ear.

Wow, that looks phenomenal so far! Looks like you're gonna love that when its done being built. Definitely can't let the wife see pics of this or she's gonna be asking me when I'm gonna build her a deck for our pool, which I don't want to do when we're renting a place, lol. Waiting till we buy a house for that one.

Thanks for asking ! Not much today in terms of visible progress. The other day's photos the sheeting was just screwed down by the corners, so in addition to getting ready for my safety gate, building a step, and cutting the rest of the deck sheeting, today was mostly spent installing somewhere around 1,500 screws

There's a reason somebody invented a nail gun 
Seriously tho, holy poop that's a lot of screws. Hopefully you aren't getting the kind of weather we're getting down here in South Georgia. Can't seem to get a single day without a torrential downpour. I need to bury a conduit for my pools power outlet, however my yard is slowly turning into mud. Seems like before long I'll be able to just push the conduit into the ground instead of digging a trench.

I had storms on Friday and it rained last night, but it's been dry.
So is that material waterproof? Are you going to coat it with something? Is the outdoor carpet waterproof?
Its "water resistant ". Advantech flooring is highly technologically advanced OSB that is bound with waterproof resins and has a water repellent treatment on its exterior. The company is very certain to say water resistant not waterproof though.
