If you have an above ground pool and you want to build a pool deck around it to get maximum use keep these building solutions in mind.
Building a pool deck using pier blocks.
According to one estimate about half of the 40 million decks in the united states are not code compliant.
See the process to build a deck using deck blocks.
Re building the deck using recovered materials from the original tear down.
Using a string level or laser level make sure each block is level.
See the next step.
The blocks should be spaced to make a 7 x 19 rectangle leaving about 6 inches from each block for deck boards to add another 8 x 20 rectangle.
The 42 piers are arranged in 11 rows spaced 24 in.
Now set the pier blocks and posts for the 10 x 18 ft.
They re subject to all of the same requirements as a typical footing regardless of not being cast in place.
Above ground deck piers are precast tapered concrete blocks with a wide base that are intended to rest directly on the ground or a concrete base.
If you hit an obstacle like a rock you can easily reverse the deck foot anchor out and move over a bit.
Or check if corner blocks are level by running a straight board through the divots in corner blocks and checking with a level.
Concrete pier blocks for decks a deck pier block is in many ways just a simplified version of a precast foundation a foundation type recognized by building codes.
Again refer to the plans for the exact positioning.
Building codes are in place to ensure safety and virtually every state and municipality enforces codes for deck construction.
Improperly built decks can shift or collapse injuring people in the process and causing damage to houses and other structures.
The titan deck foot anchor is a fast and easy solution for supporting any light weight structure that is floating or free standing from a house you just screw the auger portion into the ground using a lightweight hand held impact wrench and never experience any kick back.
When constructing a deck in an area that receives minor amounts to no frost these piers often serve as suitable deck footings.
