Watch as we build this deck surrounding an above ground pool. Video shows the process from the beginning to the end. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!
@@Thecuttingedgecarpenters looking into the helical piles for my build out.. Do you guys have the list of materials used for this? looks like 6x6 posts and 2x12's for the support beams?
Wife and I got 3 different quotes and each contractor wanted to do the deck a different way. Bring deck over the pool, under the top rail, or up to it (couple inches away) What do you think is best?
We usually do our pool texts flush with the top and leave about a 1/2” gap to be able to slip the cover through in the winter. Any bigger of a gap will be a hazard and any smaller and you won’t be able to fit the cover.
@@RagingRapids311 composite material will definitely expand but not a half inch especially if building in the summer. If building in the winter maybe leave 3/4” to be safe.
Beautiful job. Interesting that the deck doesn't completely surround the pool yet it still looks extremely polished.
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment! Cheers
If i had a pool i would build the deck just like this.. this is beautiful!
Thanks so much!
Have u done a cost video..?
where did you get those ground anchors? seems much easier than pouring concrete
We sub out to a company called Goliath Tech. They install the helical piles. Been a game changer for us, never going back to concrete.

Is that trex or just painted wood?
Yes, it is trex - foggy wharf
@@Thecuttingedgecarpenters Does the Trex get overly hot in the sun?

@@Thecuttingedgecarpenters wow only 1/2”? No worry about expansion?

@@Thecuttingedgecarpenters great thanks
This looks more like a parking structure.. nice but seems very overkill.
