Nice deck and very informative, but the way you installed the decking tightly under the top rail leaves no room for the winter cover and cable which needs to wrap around the top rail and cinch tight underneath.
I understand "code" mandates gap between deck and pool edge, BUT what about space needed to get winter cover over top and down side of pool ? Pools in north are actually covered more then half the year.
This is great. I will be using this to build the deck for a new pool. I do have a question though up here in the north, we cover our pools with a winter cover. The covers need to have a slight gap between the deck and the pool to slide the cover down and then use a ratchet to make it tight.it doesn’t look like you have such a gap. Any suggestions?

Would depend. Using #1 southern pine. Or # 2 pine like from Menards. # 3 concrete piers in a cardboard Sonen tube or #4 Diamond piers at $144.00 a piece. Wood would be $6000.00 to $11000. Including hardware. Diamond, or Handi piers anoit $144.00 per unit. Just put a deck in for a.43x23 pool. 8foot all the way around for one.
Hi Alisha. Using a speed square, on the corner of the post, find the angle and divide by two to get the angle for each member at that intersection (if unfamiliar with the many uses of a speed square there are some great videos on the subject on UA-cam). Another method is to set the beams on top of the post and scribe/transfer the inside and outside edges of the beam onto the post. Place a block of wood over the intersection of the beams so that it’s square with the back of the post and mark the beam on both sides of the block. That’s your angle to cut the beam ends. Once you’ve cut the beams, set them back onto the post and trace the beams in your desired location. This will be where you’ll notch the post. Kindly, Trex Customer Care

Hi Joe and Kelley! We do not have any specific recommendations for attaching a pool ladder to Trex decking. We always recommend using an approved composite deck screw with Trex but we cannot guarantee that those screws would properly hold the ladder in place. documents.trex.com/is/content/Trex/trex-recommended-fasteners-decking-fascia-2019-2pdf.pdf#_ga=2.8471093.100339220.1589827508-871995231.1525355912 Please let us know if you have any additional questions and have a great rest of your day.- Trex Customer Care Team
Yeah, that is a bit out there, I am in progress of a $2k deck for a $488 Walmart special 18' pool. I can't afford all the bells this video shows such as the sides, the beautiful hand rails and deck post covers but the trex flooring is a must have feature to keep the feet safe from regular wood decking wear and weather breakdowns.
I saw similar install , beautiful, 10 months later, not so much. All screws showed a nipple effect as the tree had bubbled up around it, it was a very expensive deplorable result… so I will pass on this
Hi Angel! The post was cut so that the beam coming into the post was at a 12 degree angle to the other post. The beam material was set on top of the posts and marked to determine where the post needed to be cut. This ended up being a 12 degree angle in this instance. A circular saw was then used and set at an angle, cut down the line. Then the cut was finished with a jig saw as the circular saw did not cut deep enough. The angle cut was repeated on the other side of the post so that the two beams met in the middle of the post. - Trex Customer Care

Thanks for providing this video on adding a deck to a pool.
Love that blue angle triangle tool! 🇸🇪👋

Nice deck , very good work but it must have cost a small fortune . What was the final price tag ?
Would depend. Using #1 southern pine. Or # 2 pine like from Menards. # 3 concrete piers in a cardboard Sonen tube or #4 Diamond piers at
$144.00 a piece. Wood would be $6000.00 to $11000. Including hardware. Diamond, or Handi piers anoit $144.00 per unit. Just put a deck in for a.43x23 pool. 8foot all the way around for one.
I would have installed picture frame! Went all out with skirting. Looks great though! Nice job!
Thank you! We are glad you enjoy it. - Trex customer care
Always ask the government what is best for you and your family..... GMAFB!!!
I think people should know that above ground pool walls should not be sat on or stood upon , they will buckle
Instructions are missing how to measure and find the angle between the posts for the beams. And or joists

How tight do you need those bolts to be
What was the height of the 4x4 post from the decking to the top before the sleeves went on? Also what did you cut the sleeves to? Thanks
How far from the pool the post can be? Because the electrician wired around the pool i don’t want to mess it up

how are you going to winterize the pool if the deck is right up against the deck? How does the cover go on?
The deck goes under the pool....the pool cover goes over the pool
Not enough of a gap under edge of pool from what I could see.
What color are the deck boards in this video? I may want to use it for my pool Deck.

All that extra wood framing to install that plastic crap.

Well done but damn 20K deck for 5 K pool lol

sounds like Homer Simpson built the deck for them, and Homer was not a registered contractor.
America is funny code code code lol
yeah, I spent two years overseas with the military and found with no codes the work is funny too as well as dangerous and full of sh$2t.
An above-ground pool and a high-end Trex deck??? LOL!
What’s wrong with that
How was the 6x6 cut on a 12° angle
