subject: A Diy Pool Deck [print this page] A pool is an addition that almost every home owner longs for. Those same individuals will readily identify that even though they would love to have a crew working on pool installation in their back yard, that it is just too costly. Because of this many pool manufacturers have realized this need and came up with above ground pools that allow a backyard escape, yet do not break one's pocket book. These types of pools are easier to install, but are not without the need for additional accessories, such as a deck. After all what enjoyment is a pool if guests and family members cannot sit at the edge?
Is A Deck A True DIY Project
Building a pool deck does take a bit of knowhow, though combining the skills of a few friends it can be accomplished with a little instructional help. Part of the fear or intimidation that most people feel is that they don't know where to start first, and that is where premade plans come in handy for any pool installation project. These plans can be purchased online or at home improvement stores.
What Plans Or Instructions Don't Tell
Plans and instructions are great, however most have found that when they are working on a project that there are things and tidbits that are left out. This can mean disaster for those working on a pool installation or building a pool deck. Things like purchasing special paint or varnish, because regular will not adhere well. This might seem like an insignificant detail, until all that paint is wasted! Certain woods are better to use than others, pressure treated pine is resistant to rot, however it has a greenish tint that most do not want in their yard! For that reason most recommend western red cedar or redwood!
