Deck building 101

[@ErnestoIbarra]

I built a similar deck (semi-permanent) deck over a pool I don't use. It is MUCH cheaper than buying an expensive pool cover. Thanks for sharing.

We have actually been considering doing the same thing! How long has yours been installed? Im worried about the moisture under the pool rotting the wood. We wanted something that was ridged for the safety of our kids. A pool cover doesnt seem to provide protection from that

[@karljansen2154]

Good for you man, how’d it go?

[@yvettetee7699]

Same!

[@karljansen2154]

Wow man, that’s a great looking deck!

[@jesseflores1282]

This is awesome, I’m going to build one for my backyard wedding. Did you leave the aluminum footing in the pool after installation?

[@daviscantwell964]

Have you built one yet? How did it go? I too am looking into doing the same thing for a backyard wedding later this summer.

[@fenickjean]

great idea

[@RetroVRR]

Why over the pool?

[@hanjunchang212]

wow How much is the production cost? The size is 3900 * 2600

[@stevensalais8224]

What size joist did you guys use?

[@auntielobster2325]

What did you use to support the structure inside the pool?

[@daniellamb5051]

Aluminium posts, this would only work for very short term use because of the chemicals in the pool react with the metal

[@jennyreyes8640]

who does this I need one done for a party

[@juanherrera79]

Did you use rubber chocks as shoes for the posts?

[@karljansen2154]

Juan Herrera yeah, I believe he did

[@auntielobster2325]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

[@karljansen2154]

Auntie Lobster no worries lady mate

[@brianallen0826]

why would you deck over half the pool?

[@georgirussell3977]

[@karljansen2154]

Because he’s a damn legend!

[@kimtaeil7]

Covering the pool with plywood and ordinary wood seems to be a bit out of place. This is because plywood and untreated ordinary wood is vulnerable to water.

[@daniellamb5051]

This structure was only used for 2 nights, hence the cheap timber for temporary use

[@karljansen2154]

^^^^this guy knows his stuff!

[@76shogun1]

You should've played some Oingo Boingo

[@karljansen2154]

Oi, it’s kinda bad music, you should’ve put affirmation by Savage garden on

[@michaelprenzler7602]

Should've played savage garden

[@SeriouslyDavidD]

This has to be one of the dumbest things i have seen done to a pool

[@karljansen2154]

[@brucedunnett5412]
