How can I build a deck around a pool? 

Usually, a deck is built around an above-ground pool, while a patio is built around an under-ground pool. Make sure to check your city requirements before building a deck around your pool to make sure that your deck is up to code. After that, start with the foundation posts. None of the posts should be connected to the pool for the stability of the deck and integrity of the pool. After those are in place, build the base of the deck, fencing around the bottom of the deck to the ground, and the stairs. Panels will also have to be installed along the walking area before the walking planks are installed. For a more detailed explanation, call our experts at Bitz Exteriors.
