Diy Pool Cover Deck

If your pool has outlived its usefulness and it would cost more to repair than you can afford you can cover it.

Diy pool cover deck.

Building a deck over a pool presents a challenge similar to any raised deck so be prepared for hard work sore muscles and a great sense of accomplishment. Your new diy pool deck is now finished and now you can add some finishing touches like inflatable hot tubs if your pool isn t close to your home and you don t want to mount a hose each time you want to refill your pool then you can contact companies like emergenie can supply outside plumbing. This new sliding deck pool cover by a french company octavia is our favourite it features an integrated raised deck to match your current deck and uses rails to easily allow the deck to be slid out of the way to open up the pool for use. Framing members should be connected with galvanized metal connectors to prevent uplift from high winds.

If you plan to attach the deck cover to the side of the home then you only need 2 post mounts in the outer corners of the deck. If you are making a cover over a concrete patio rather than a deck cover you will have to bolt the post mounts into the concrete instead of screwing them in place. The best part is that you can still use the deck for chairs and tanning while the pool is open.
