HOWEVER.... after I had to rebuild my 40X16 pool's deck, about the talent with woodwork as taking a pair of paint sticks, screwing a screw in the middle of the "T" and call it an airplane, it turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself but I surely wish I saw this video first.

Absolutely! A pool itself does nothing but hold water. If I can hold water for $400 instead of $4000 I can afford a LOT better deck and\or pump & filter. Why do people think the deck, pump & filter should cost less than the pool? The pool ...holds water. The pump & filter .....determines how clean the water is, how much time, frustration, headache and work it costs to keep the water clean AND it can even effect the cost of chemicals over time. The deck ....it protects the pool, supports the weight of everyone on it, gives you a space for laying out, grilling, eating, all sorts of stuff. It's like saying "I want a Corvette. The engine costs $5000 so I can only spend $3000 on everything else. No, "Everything else" is what makes the difference between a noisy paperweight, and an awesome experience in car form. Same with a pool.

Do NOT attach the deck to the pool or you will regret it when trying to put the winter cover on. Leave about 1/2 inch to 1 inch clearance to stick the winter cover in between or it WILL blow off or rip. I have experience with this. It is basically impossible to have the water bags hold it down or rope to tie it across the deck, the wind will get under it and ruin it. (if you live in a wintry area like Northeast USA)

This video is great! Just one question about the footings. I noticed you just put concrete in the bottom of the holes and placed the PT 4x4s directly on top of the concrete. There is no end to opinions on putting wood directly on concrete. Is this something which can only be done in certain climates? Is there a reason you didn't concrete up to ground level and install a post anchor?

Putting concrete above the frost line let's the entire post move and cause issues with the climate

@craigheffernan Nice job! I am looking to do a similar build myself but I was a little confused about the posts. It looks like you dropped them in the holes and then started framing without cementing them in. It looked like when you got the framing squared you shoveled sand in the holes. At what point did you pour concrete? Thanks!
@Deckbuilding8 ай бұрын
Depending on where you live is how deep you dig your holes. The holes are dug below the frost line. Then a concrete footing is mixed in the bottom of the hole around 8 to 10” deep. You let that harden overnight then you set all your posts on top. Once all the framing and posts are positioned you backfill with the dirt you removed earlier packing it tightly and mounding it above grade. You do not fill with concrete because of two reasons. 1 is the concrete will lift the entire deck upwards when there is frost. 2 is the post could rot from trapped moisture between the post and concrete. There are other videos I have on my channel that go into more detail about deck footings. Thanks for watching
