Step 1: Build Support Frames and Attaching Metal Brackets

Using 2"x6" treated lumber, begin by cutting Support Frame pieces (A, B, C, D, and E) to length, as shown in Diagram 1 & 2. Cut enough pieces to assemble all but one Support Frame. Most plans
require 18, 24, or 36 support frames, depending on the size of the pool and decks depth.

For example: If the entire deck requires 18 Support Frames, pre-cut lumber for 17 Support Frames. The last frame will be cut-to-fit due to irregularities of pool sizes and construction methods. For some pools, the filters will affect the framing of the deck. This is great location for the last custom support frame.

Cut an angle on each end of pieces A, B, and C, as shown in Diagram 2. The required degree can be found the plan. Pieces D and E will be cut with a square 90 degree angle on each end.

Attach the four outside pieces of the Support Frame, as shown in Diagram 3. Center and secure two - 2 1/2" deck screws at each connection. Pieces D and E will extend past the EDGE of support board A by 3 inches.
