Great idea. I actually did almost the same exact thing but I didn't think of using vinyl sleeves to go over the 4 by 4's. Your idea looks better. But I have a problem now after a year. I used pressure treated 4 by 4 but from having the constant pull, they warped and bent pretty badly. Is there a way for me to keep 4x4's from warping if I want to re do it? Does pressure treated wood bend more when it's wet or something?
@@richeginton5256 Yeah I was thinking maybe they do too. But I did some research and if they can be found, Cedar or Redwood 4x4's are less prone to warping. I may look into securing some and redo it that way. But your video is so helpful, thanks!
Hi Dan - I got every thing in Lowes. I used 10 foot treated 4x4's and used the vinyl covers they hav in fencing dept. I think they were 5x5 which left them a little loose. I then screwed them up tight on the pool side of the post.

I'm guessing the vinyl sleeves helped keep yhem from warping.

Rich, where did you get the poles? I can't seem to fin poles anywhere the size I need here in Phoenix or online.
