Diy Pool Cover Deck

If your pool has outlived its usefulness and it would cost more to repair than you can afford you can cover it.

Diy pool cover deck.

If you plan to attach the deck cover to the side of the home then you only need 2 post mounts in the outer corners of the deck. Building a deck over a pool presents a challenge similar to any raised deck so be prepared for hard work sore muscles and a great sense of accomplishment. If you are making a cover over a concrete patio rather than a deck cover you will have to bolt the post mounts into the concrete instead of screwing them in place. If you have kids you can make an entrance gate.

This new sliding deck pool cover by a french company octavia is our favourite it features an integrated raised deck to match your current deck and uses rails to easily allow the deck to be slid out of the way to open up the pool for use. A full on deck roof often called a porch roof uses basically the same techniques as a regular roof. The best part is that you can still use the deck for chairs and tanning while the pool is open.
