Above Ground Pool, Deck and Awning
From Start To Finish
The project was to build an above ground pool surrounded by a wood deck, covered with an aluminum awning and enclosed in a screen room.
Not at all an easy project but since I am in the pool and awning installation
business I took on the job.
Pool Braces This is the start of our
project. We have a hole dug and the
above ground pool brace system installed. The tricky part was digging the dirt
on the side near the home. It was mostly done by hand and jack hammer because I
did not want to get the tractor too close to the home. A laser transit was used
to set the height at the top of the supports just below door level. This was to
allow the decking to be at door level.
Pool Installed In Ground The pool wall is up
and the outer framework built. We attached boards to the outside of the pool to
hold the dirt away from the pool. We wanted to be able to build the deck before
we installed the liner, without the dirt caving the pool wall in, meaning a
certain amount of backfill needed to be done before we started the deck. We
were using a beaded liner in the pool, so it made sense to install the deck
before the liner.
Deck Around Pool Here
the deck has been built around the above ground pool. This pool deck was built
more like our mobile home decks because we used plywood on the top. The plywood
will later get indoor, outdoor carpet. The window behind where the girl is
sitting was removed and a sliding glass door installed. This made a nice entry
into the pool room from the living room.
Pool and Awning The room walls have been framed and the sliding glass door
installed. This is a 12' x 24' above ground pool with a 52" wall. We went with a
beaded liner so it could be changed without removing any of the deck. The liner
fits into a groove that attaches to the top of the pool wall and allows it to be
changed from inside the pool without removing the top rail.
Pool Equipment This
is a picture from the backyard. The filter and solar panel have been installed
and hooked up. The solar panel was given to the customer by a friend and he
later found out it was not adequate in size to heat the pool. Being under this
much shade it needed more. Later they had one side of the roof covered in panels
and the pool is comfortable year round.
Above Ground Pool Wood Deck A box was built to hide the filter. This above ground pool, deck
and aluminum awning were built off the back of a mobile home. This same type
installation could be done in any situation on any type home.
Pool, Deck and Awning
It
is almost finished. The carpet was installed later and a nice molding around
the pool itself really made it look nice. If you live in Arizona and would be
