Building a Deck Around a Pool -- Quickly

If you're not looking to invest a ton into your above ground pool building project, or if you live in an area where your local climate changes drastically each season - like upstate NY, Canada, or the northeast USA for example - then the simplest and most efficient way of building a deck around a pool is to go with a wrap around design.

You might also want to go with a spacious sun deck that connects to your wrap around above ground pool deck. If you want to avoid digging then consider a floating foundation, but make sure you check with your local building inspector first before you begin building your above ground pool deck.

Remember that building a deck around a pool can be fun. But if you live in a place where typical winter weather prevents you from starting any DIY projects during that season then you'll want to work relatively quickly when spring or summer rolls around.

I'm sure you would rather enjoy your spring & summer swimming in your pool and enjoying your new pool deck, rather than building all summer long. A wrap around pool deck is the best option in this instance.
