Step 1: Getting started/Examining the plans

From the plans found on our website, locate the framing plan. This is the most useful page for building the Side Pool Deck. In these instructions, we will be using a 12'x12' deck as an example. Slight modifications will need to be made for larger or smaller decks.

When examining the Side Pool Deck plans, disregard the outside 2"x6" support boards with the angled sections for now. These will be the last 2"x6" support boards placed. To begin, start with building a simple rectangular deck. To accomplish this, use the two outside 2"x6" support boards, the 2"x6" end board, 4"x4" posts, and the four corner Dek-Block® piers. Use the Side Pool Deck plan dimensions that fit your sized pool.
