Doughboy Gets "All Decked Out"
A popular way to enhance your pool side environment is with wood decking. Decking can range in size anywhere from a complete perimeter treatment to a simple platform with a catwalk partway around it.

The type of deck that you choose will be determined by the pool site you choose on your property, and the general terrain surrounding your home. Whatever type of deck you build, you should think of it as a long-term investment. Always select high-grade lumber and materials that will last a long time.
When planning your deck, make sure the edge of the deck is built to, but not over, the pool's top connector system. This clearance will allow for easy removal of the top rails and connectors, making routine maintenance easier. be sure to provide access to your pool's pump, filter and skimmer. You will also need to install a deck ladder for entry and exit from the pool. Remember, never t jump or dive into an above-ground pool.

Think of the possibilities with a deck. You can entertain on it, sunbathe, visit, have a picnic - there's an infinite number of ways to enjoy a beautiful redwood deck.
