Step 7: Place remaining 4"x4 "posts and Dek-Block® piers.

Position the Dek-Block® piers beneath the 2"x6" support boards using the dimensions found on the Side Pool Deck plans. Measure the distance from the bottom of the 2"x6" support board to the bottom of the post pocket of the Dek-Block® pier. Cut all remaining 4"x4" posts to length and position accordingly.

Loosening the bottom screw from the 2"x6" end board into the 2"x6" support board can help fit the 4"x4" post between the Dek-Block® pier and the 2"x6" support board. After all 4"x4" posts are positioned, secure all screws from the 2"x6" end board into the 2"x6" support boards.

After all 4"x4" post are cut and positioned, toe-screw two - 2 1/2" deck screws from each side of the 2"x6" support board into each of the 4"x4" posts.
