Deck Build WITH ANGLED STEPS for an Above Ground Pool!!

[@nelsonblanchard]

What size 2 X 's did you use for bracing and for under the deck boards? thanks

[@backyardproblemsolver]

@@nelsonblanchard sorry, this was quite a while ago when I built this, and have since moved. I don’t remember what size I used.

[@brandiirons7320]

Also can you elaborate a bit on the solar panels that you are using? How many degrees can the panels increase the pool temperature on average? What brand are they and were you pleased with them?

[@backyardproblemsolver]

I liked them and I think they helped. I got them at my local pool supply store, not sure on the brand. Best bet would be to check with your local store for specific advice for your situation.

[@alisown71]

How do you cover your pool, and secure it under the deck? I have to use clamps to keep my cover from blowing away.

[@backyardproblemsolver]

@@alisown71 I got a winter cover with the cable to secure it. I’m able to get under the deck to secure behind it.

We live in Michigan and are considering the style of pool you have. Do you take your pool down every year? What size is it? How many pads did you buy? Thanks😊

[@backyardproblemsolver]

No, I leave it up in the winter. 22’. 24 mats

[@joannnehra1100]

@@backyardproblemsolver thank you so much, my husband said no because we thought we would have to take it up and down. It would be so helpful if you made a video about how you winterized in MI, how long you have had your pool, issues and would you do anything different. We really enjoyed your videos and found them very helpful.

[@backyardproblemsolver]

@@joannnehra1100 Thank you! I have moved so I don’t have this pool anymore. I might see if I can make a video on it somehow though.

[@brandiirons7320]

Is there a place where you list all of the materials needed for this project?

[@kenj1862]

Steps look very difficult. Great job figuring all that out.

[@backyardproblemsolver]

Thank you!

[@drewdemarco4433]

I noticed the only way into the pool, you have locked. Is your city okay with just that? We supposedly need a fence

[@backyardproblemsolver]

@@drewdemarco4433 they never said anything about it 🤷

[@raregem3619]

What kind of pump did you use

[@backyardproblemsolver]

It was a Hayward pump and sand filter I had found used. I don't remember the specs on it, but it was definitely more than needed for this pool, which made it very easy to keep the pool clean, cycling the water much faster than a standard pump would.

[@BonnieFagan-x8c]

Have you found a solution for the solar cover yet?! I have a super easy and cheap DIY system to share with you! I don’t have a link to share yet, but could take a quick video!

[@raregem3619]

What brand is the pool

[@backyardproblemsolver]

Coleman

[@debbiedavis1067]

Our steps are going to have that same angle. We arw having all kinds of problems finding brackets that are angle down and to the side! Ugh

[@backyardproblemsolver]

Which brackets are you having trouble finding?

[@michaellopatka8047]

How is the deck doing as of now?

[@backyardproblemsolver]

We have since moved and no longer have it.

[@kiragscott]

Could you please let us know the size of your deck?

[@backyardproblemsolver]

The surface of the deck is 4’ wide at the narrowest point, 6’ long.

[@darnellbyrd7736]

Although you said its been a few years...how much roughly did you spend on materials for your deck?

[@backyardproblemsolver]

I think it was a little over $3,000 for materials.

[@darnellbyrd7736]

To make sure I'm on the right track...are your deck blocks 7×11×11?

[@backyardproblemsolver]

@@darnellbyrd7736 I’m not sure on the dimensions. But I would think any deck block offered would do the job.

[@backyardproblemsolver]

@@darnellbyrd7736 that does sound about right though. I’ve moved since moved, so I can’t measure them.

[@darnellbyrd7736]

You've been very helpful...can you remember what the measurements were for your gate door?

[@barbarabray1360]
