@@renee2005 turned out pretty well.
I love your patience with building this deck. You make it seem less stressful than some other videos we have watched. I now think that me and my husband can do it! Thank you! The finished deck looks great :)
Thank you so much. Over the years of doing different projects, you learn that if you rush things the projects tend to not turn out the way you want them to. God Bless and have a great day!!
I enjoyed your video. It was helpful. I also enjoyed you having your boys help. Good family stuff.
Thank you. I like having my boys help and I need to pass this down. Thks for watching!!
Thanks for sharing, looks awesome, the most beautiful thing is when you have kids involved, the youngest one had nothing to with building the deck all he wanted is to jump to the pool and play some tennis.
Thanks!! I try to get my kids involved as much as possible. Thanks for watching & I hope you follow our journey.
Loved the video. That AirTractor plane in the beginning of this video........I build those in Olney, TX.

I love this and would to love to build this for our pool.
What type of ladder were you able to use?
I was able to incorporate the ladder that came with the pool into the deck. Thanks for watching.
Second video I’ve watched with you sir. Doing real well out there I would say. Your tip on last video was to wear gloves as you didn’t before. I bet you wish you had today too.
LOL. Thanks for watching. Hope you keep following us on this journey. 👍
Thanks
You are welcome.
Put 1x1s around the railing for clean finish
I might have to do that. You mean underneath? Thanks for watching
Nice vid brother! your house is my dream house (no neighbours arround), I've been trying to work on my deck lately but got some stupid ass neighbour calling the police on me for working up till 7.30 pm on a May 24 (still bright daylight)... Hopefully I get to finish it soon so the kids get to play in the backyard again
Thanks for the compliment and sorry about your neighbor. Good luck on finishing it and stay safe my friend. I hope you follow the channel if you haven’t already. 👍
@@watkinstreefarm6880 I certainly did subscribe, I got other wood projects for this summer and your tips looks very helpful to me! Stay safe!
Thanks for watching!! If you haven't subscribed to the channel, please do so today so you can keep up on future projects & the tree farm. Please and thank you. 😎
Like from Germany 👍
Thank you very much.
Nice job brotha ✊🏽💯
Thanks man!!
Watkins Tree Farm - Hobbs Creek Country Life if i build 10 x 10 deck so. What side i need for deck broad? Thanks
@@andyking7713 I used 5/4 deck boards. 10 foot length deck, you probably will need to cut a 12ft down. I would recommend spanning the 10ft without seams. There will be hangover regardless what length you decide or find.
Dear sir, my name it is Javier I'm from Uruguay and I want to thank you, because you help me a lot with the pool deck, i wish can send you a picture of the deck that we build with my son, thanks.
Great to hear and would love to see photos. You can e-mail me watkinstreefarm@gmail.com. Hope you subscribe & follow us.
Send me some deck pics
Nice video. Dont kno if I should try this at 65 yrs old tho. What is the actual size of the deck u built? We are thinking about doing a 7x10 partial deck around a round pool. TIA
Roughly 5X16 with the 16 foot going along the shorter side of the pool. You can see in the videos. As far as being able to build this at 65 years old, age has no limits. One step at a time. Wouldn’t hurt to have a second set of hands. It would make it a lot easier.
I know this is an Older Video.. Awesome job by the way😊👍I'm pretty much doing a similar project. One Question Though How did you and what did you use to mount the Original pool ladder to the deck with?
To be honest, I used the existing ladder as is & cut an opening in the deck for it to go through. I think I had to block it up on one end.
Where did you get your pool ladder? Deck looks great!
It came with the pool & I adapted the deck for the ladder. I think they sell them separately.
How big is the deck and how wide are your decking boards.
It looks beautiful.
Roughly 8x20 and deck boards are labeled 6” but measured (5-3/4”). Thanks for watching!!
Молодец👍👍
Thanks 👍. Hope you subscribe & follow.
Pretty good 👍🏽 how much did this project cost?
I did this project a few years ago but I would guess 800-1000 with today’s prices. Thanks for watching
What's the spacing on the 4x4 posts? And those are joists I believe, not studs. But about the same I guess
LOL I noticed that when I was editing. On the back side of the deck the 4x4's are roughly 8ft apart. Around the stairs it is almost a 4ft x 4ft square. Thanks for watching.
@@watkinstreefarm6880 thank you for responding.
Do you have plans available for this project Mr. Watkins?
Officially no. I believe I show a 2D cad drawing in the #1 Deck Video. I have a material list that’s n the comments on this video. Thks for watching!! 👍
What are those bricks called?
Concrete Deck Block. Thanks for watching
Thank you!!!!
Watkins, can you explain the boards cut @ a 45 ° angle 7:01 ? Are they necessary
@@bobbyh.7261 45 degrees?? The stringers for the stairs where pre bought and the steps where just straight cuts.
Hey quick question, what was the total cost of the materials used? Not including the pool.
I believe the material to build the pool deck was in the $450 area.
Why go thru all this trouble for an Intex pool?
The pool & everything was given to us. I will be able to adapt everything to a new above ground pool in the future. Thanks for watching.
what size is this deck and for two people do you in your personal oppion think a 4 x 8 foot deck will work just want room to step up enter pool with one chair on deck. Thank you for your answer. Im a 60 year old woman going to try to do this on my own after watching you.
A 4x8 platform should be enough for 2 people. Either way you shift it, I think there would be room for a ladder & a chair. Good luck & God Bless.
@@watkinstreefarm6880 God bless and keep you as well!!🙏🙌☝️
How much did this project cost?
Thank you for watching. I believe when I built the deck is was just under $500. Here is a list I put together. I hope you subscribe & good luck with the build.
2x6) (1) 16ft / (1) 12ft / (6) 8ft
(2x4) (10) 8ft
(4x4) (8) 8ft
(8) Concrete Blocks
(3) 6-Step Stringers
Timberlok (Wood Lag Screws) 4-4.5 inches long
(24) Joist Hangers
(30) 5/4 X 6 X 8 Deck Boards
You will need 3" & 1-3/4" deck screws also.
All boards were pressure treated lumber. Cedar was too expensive!!
This will get you close. Please realize that every project is different and each project will have its own challenges. Check the prices with the list.
Good Luck!!
Did your pour concrete in the cement blocks to hold the 4x4s. How was they staying up right plum just sitting there when you first started
@@cavyboy99 Those concrete blocks are purchased and can be found at most box stores. A 4x4 can sit right inside the top or a 2x4 on it side can go across it. Pretty slick!! Thanks for watching & I hope you follow us.
Total cost of materials?
I built this in May 2020 and lumber prices were normal. I was around $450 at that time. I would be only guessing for the current prices today.
@@watkinstreefarm6880 Where can I get a list of the supplies
@@clarencejenke9831 I made a list a while back. Take in mind this is not concrete but will get you in the ball park.
(2x6) (1) 16ft / (1) 12ft / (6) 8ft
(2x4) (10) 8ft
(4x4) (8) 8ft

tornado territory
Yes we are in n what they call tornado alley. Thanks for watching & I hope you follow us along. 👍
Can you come build one for me????
Right. I wish I could. One step at a time. Find someone local and well recommended. I know firefighters do wood projects on their off days around here. Maybe that is an idea. I hope you can find a way to get one.
Thanks that was a very kind response! You did a great job and I love how you got your family involved!
Whhhhhy would you setup a pool so close to the foundation of your home?? FFS
I assume your talking in a worse case scenario if the pool ruptures. Everything slopes away from the house. Definitely a concern but I feel it is a low risk. Thanks for watching. 👍 hope you follow us
@@watkinstreefarm6880 That's on a slab, right? If the failure occurred on the side closest to the house, the pool itself acts like a damn/barrier, forcing the water against the house and water follows the path of least resistance .... But hey, it's your house buddy! I've seen this very scenario happen in real life ... when the water came gushing up into the master bedroom....well....let's just say a it got real expensive, real quick!
The pool is on sand & the house closest to the pool has a crawl space. I will take a look at it this evening. Thks
Great job
Thank you sir!! Have a great day!!
