Above Ground Pool Decks You Can Build Confidently
When a local pool service referred
companies to help us build our pool deck – here’s how the adventure
looked:
It was a big struggle
to find someone who wanted to do it.
Then it was a task to find someone who could do it
right - and reasonably quick - so we could enjoy our new pool deck during peak swim season.
Then
when that person came – the first set of materials were wrong for our
climate! The second set of materials was not sized right.
Then…when he got the materials right – he
disappeared part way through the job and took a new job (that paid
more).
And if we complained about it – he complained back!
But what I realized was, had I done
the job myself – I could have done it quicker and much
better.
I
know this because apart from some
outside material supplies that had to be brought in from elsewhere –
the construction was not too complicated for a DIY project.
You
Don’t Need Michelangelo to Build a
Deck Around a Pool!
You just need
knowledge and the patience to learn or utilize the skills. You can hire
some help. But you don’t need to hire ALL the help.
As
long as you
understand what needs to be done, you don’t have to be
at the mercy of someone who doesn’t care about how
it’s done.
You should
build a pool deck that:
Suits your needs
whether you want a private retreat (away from neighbors), a party spot
or a “safe” family zone.
Works with your
climate so that it remains durable during
the change of seasons.
Fits the natural
layout of your backyard so it looks good
and remains compatible with your local environment.
Meets building
codes so you don’t have to tear down what
you just built.
Reflects the
style of the room it adjoins to, if
applicable, so it’s consistent with your personal style and your decks
intended use.
Enhances your
pool and its use so even the most casual
afternoon float feels more dynamic.
That’s
why I’ve created this Web page for you. You’re about to discover the
time saving and money saving pool deck building process that
great professionals use.
You
will even learn the “trade secrets” that no pool deck builder will ever
tell you – since it would definitely put him out of business!
You’re going
to learn the key phases of deck construction:
the planning
process and discovering your design
step-by-step construction
decoration tips once your deck construction is
complete
Your DIY Above Ground Pool Deck Will Be Something
Your Family or Friends Thank You For
You’re
going to build a dream pool deck that will increase the enjoyment of
your home & give you a tremendous sense of accomplishment.
You’ll do this
by...
Discovering
what tools you’ll really need so you don’t have unnecessary expenses
and you avoid pricey mistakes.
Learning
expert construction techniques so if you do it yourself you’ll do it
easier and most importantly, safely.
And
if you choose to use a service you’re going to acquire crucial deck
building knowledge so you stay in control of not just your budget, but
also your vision.
Know-How
for Your Pool and Backyard
If
you want to learn how to get more enjoyment out of your above ground
pool you need to “get to know your pool”. This could also mean “get to
know you”.
Anyone can
tell you the basic steps of deck construction and give you a technical
guide that possibly informs, but probably doesn’t inspire or give you a
sense of power over your project from start to finish.
You will learn
those basic steps but I want you to have much more.
You will
discover how to develop a great deck plan, on your own or with your
family’s input.
You’ll
do this by thinking in terms of what not only is practical with your
surroundings and in compliance with local codes but also what is
harmonious with your backyard.
Because every
backyard is distinct.
Everyone also
has their own intention of use. What is yours?
Do you want privacy
on your deck?
Is it for your kids & their friends?
Will you be hosting get-togethers?
Is it a quiet place where you can enjoy morning
coffee in addition to the occasional swim?
These
are just some of the important questions you’ll have to ask yourself
from the start so your budget will be influenced first by what you want
and then can realistically afford as you make your way through the
process.
You’ll learn
to build those needs and wants into your above ground pool deck plans
before you even buy one piece of lumber.
Which
means you’ll save yourself from the frustration of building a pool deck
that doesn’t suit your intended use, then goes unused after all of
that time and money spent.
Remember
that Building a Pool Deck is Not Just a Do-It-Yourself Project; it’s an
Investment in Your Home and Your Happiness!
So
just giving you general deck building tips and nothing else would be
irresponsible of me knowing that without a good pre-production plan you
run the risk of building a deck that just doesn’t make you happy.
But
you’re not done yet! What about when the deck is finished? Once you’re
finished building your above ground pool deck you’ll want to jazz it up
with decorations.
I’ll
help you with ideas to spark your creativity because I want your above
ground pool deck to look awesome so it will be something your family
uses as often as possible. And something you’re proud of.
Plus
it’s a fun addition that your neighbors admire because not only is it a
great design but you’ve likely just amplified the worth of your
residence too.
Do
Your Above Ground Pool Deck Plans Imagine People Sitting on the Deck,
Dangling their Feet in Your Pool?
A
lot of other web sites have sketched plans of random decks that maybe
or maybe not fit with your intended use and style. Some even give these
away for free.
Deck
plans for your swimming pool are important. But what good is a generic
deck blueprint when that proposed deck may not be compatible with your
backyard?
Does it take into
account your slope, if you have one?
Is there a consideration for your personal tastes?
Does it know where your utility lines are?
Would that deck plan be the deck that put you in
high spirits?
Just
by glancing at a common deck plan would you know which one is
absolutely right for you?
And
if you did know that instantly, you would probably have a lot of
experience with building above ground pool decks, and chances are you
wouldn’t be reading this.
Other
Sites Might Give You a Couple Free Tips on Pool Deck Construction
Plans… But You Need More than a Tip Here or a Tip There
I
remember awhile back I once had a question regarding dimensions and I
just read something like, “just space your joists the right way.”
Well,
OK. But
what’s a joist? How do I know what the right space
is?
I
know the answer now but the point is that a tip here or tip there from
a website is just a teaspoon of information, and you’ll need a
truckload of proven information organized into an easy to understand
process that produces results.
Which means
your above ground pool deck will put a smile on your face.
And
this is better than a smirk on a builders face because he just took
more money than he possibly earned or a scowl on the inspectors face.
Maybe someone
will try to give you a very expensive deck kit over the Internet as if
one size could fit all backyards.
I’m
not here to ask for thousands of your hard earned dollars like them
knowing that the deck might not be the right solution for you.
I’m
here to
help you learn how to…
Think, plan, and
build a pool deck like a pro so you can do it yourself
with confidence and pat yourself on the back when it’s finished.
Learn enough about the subject so if you ever have
to hire some help, you’ll know what they’re doing so they stay on track
to fulfill
your vision.
It’s One Thing to Get Water in Your
Ear, but Your Pool Doesn’t Have to be a Headache
Like
you, I’m a pool owner. I grew up with a pool in the backyard. It’s
something I’ve always enjoyed having and I have a hard time imagining
life without a swimming pool.
But
like you and your pool I still have occasional problems with it or
amenities to the pool that need maintenance or enhancements.
That
said, a
recurring challenge for me was finding good pool service in my local
area and trustworthy builders.
In
other
words, finding good people that could help me solve my pool related
problems was, well, a real issue.
Like
you, maybe I wanted to upgrade my deck or add something nice. Who was
there to help me do it? After searching, and searching, or being let
down by companies that disappeared overnight I finally found some help.
But
not
without hassle or making some mistakes along the way.
I
decided to do the research myself so next time I would have enough
knowledge to back me up as I went about a new project, or at least
speak confidently with a prospective builder.
So I decided
to see if other people, like me, were searching for solutions to
similar pool related problems.
This is why I
started a company that would do the research for you.
You
Know, There are More Above Ground Pools Sold in the United States Every
Year than Any Other Swimming Pool
So I wondered,
“What’s it like for pool owners in climates where an above ground pool
is more common?” Who helps them?
If
pool service in my area is any indication of what service is like in
your local area I figured there would be a lot of people with above
ground pools that were looking for honest help.
And that is
why I started this company. To do the research for you.
To give you
real answers and if anything, a great reference tool for your above
ground pool deck project.
Use
the Shade to Your Advantage by Knowing Where the Sun Hits in All
Seasons
When
learning the fundamentals of your planning and design you will begin by
asking yourself key questions about your future deck. Questions like…
What size
will it be?
How will it blend with my
landscape?
What designs should I consider?
How does natural plant life in my backyard affect
sun-shade?
I’ll
help you easily find the answers to these important questions and how
you can use these answers to create a style for your deck.
Which
means you’ll know the pool deck you’re envisioning is compatible with
your lifestyle and landscape, not only saving you money and time but
also making sure the deck brings regular enjoyment into your life
because it’s used.
Deck
Building is Simple in Concept but You Must Focus on the Details
By the time
you reach the brink of construction you’ll be excited with your
valuable and newly acquired knowledge.
And ready to
apply it.
Here you will
get priceless tips on…
How to sketch your
plans so you stay on schedule during the building phase.
Tools and materials because the more you know about
these the easier construction of your deck will be.
Lumber and how to spot defects so your deck has the
best durability and appearance possible.
Plus
an honest assessment of your skills and whether you’ll need to hire some
help, or proceed by yourself.
This is a key
step in the process.
If you can
build it all yourself or with a friend, then great! I can help.
But if you
choose to hire a professional for some things,
that’s great too! I can help.
Because
once you’re empowered with this knowledge you’ll be like a composer,
conducting everything towards the pool deck you dreamed of. And you’ll
be confident because you’ll know what you’re doing.
The benefit
here is that before you
build a deck around a pool or hire anybody it pays to have a plan. You
will be guided on how to create one using the skills you’ve acquired by
this time.
Which means
you will save time, money, and be saved from having to deal with
building code issues after you start building.
And
there is much more! Including the step-by-step nuts and bolts of above
ground pool deck construction.
Don't just take my word for it... Listen to what others are saying about my pool deck guide.
“This guide will give you a smart and fun process that doesn't make you feel overwhelmed. If you're building a deck around a pool or planning something bigger you'll get the foundation you need here.”
- Matthew McNaughton, upstate N.Y.
“If you're looking to build a pool deck reasonably fast enough to enjoy the summer swim season, or you just want to be able to see your kids swimming safely... this is your guide.”
When Pool Deck Help is Necessary You
Should be Discovering a Whole Avalanche of Solutions
Some
of you may have actually searched on Google or Yahoo for deck plans for
above ground pools. But maybe you saw some web sites that just want to
sell you the above ground pool itself for thousands of dollars.
If
you’re somebody who actually typed in something related to pool deck
plans I’ll go ahead and make an educated guess that you’re probably a
pool owner already, or installing one soon. And now you want a deck.
What
I want to
do is help you build that deck.
The
step-by-step construction basics are from generally accepted
contracting methods that bring results, which means you can…
Work at
your pace,
from weekend to weekend if necessary so you can have fun building
with your friends and family.
Build a deck that will recapture a lot
of your building costs through higher home value.
Be reminded when it’s a really good idea
to check
with your local building codes so you can have a deck that is as safe and secure
as possible.
Learn how privacy can be planned with walls, fences,
plants, and more. So you will have the space and comfort
that you want.

quick word about what you just read…
I
can’t emphasize enough how important it is in making sure that your
deck is well-suited for your lifestyle. The pool deck looks like what
you envisioned but it also just fits with who you
are.
Because if
it’s not, you will just not use it very much. And that wouldn’t be much
fun.
So the
following is perhaps my greatest gift to you.
You
will learn how to think through your preparation before committing to
any purchase of material because this will dramatically increase your
chances of creating a pool deck that will look great and will be used
over and over again.
And the
enjoyment this will bring to you, your family, and your friends is

But
that’s not all!
How
to Decorate a Pool Deck
So you’ve
finished your deck construction. It’s assembled.
Friends,
neighbors, and your family are all chomping at the bit to get a good
look at it. You’re no different. You can’t wait to take that first dip
in your pool enhanced by your awesome new deck.
You could do
that. But you may want to think twice about hosting that party.
Once
your above ground pool deck is finished you’ll want to decorate it by
using the chapter “How to Decorate a Pool Deck”. Now you can have that
pool party & be proud of your results as you show off your new deck.
This is
included in your eBook “How to Build a Pool Deck”.
There is more!
How
to Care for a Pool Deck
Once the pool
deck is built you will also need to maintain it. Or maybe you’ll need
to do the occasional repair.
After all,
decks are like anything else, they get used and sometimes some slight
wear and tear will need some fixing.
I hope this
isn’t often. And I’ve researched pool decks to the point where if you
follow the process in “How to Build a Pool Deck”
it will be as strong as possible.
But
we don’t live in a perfect world so at times your deck may need some
repair, or some care to reduce the chances of any serious problems down
the road. Plus in many cases it will be better for the pool deck in the
long-term if the wood is refinished and cleaned on a timely basis.
That’s
why I
put together a section of the eBook on how to care for your pool deck.

Also, an endless set of deck pictures you could fill a coffee table book with... but doesn't really show you how to do anything isn't going to benefit you. You wouldn't need to invest in that and I wouldn't ask you to!
That said, you will get step-by-step instructions in chapters 8 and 9. And since above ground pool decks are built in sections, you can use our example for any design and actually put this information to use now!
