    Default Pool Deck

    Here's a deck I built around our above ground pool. The pool it's self is 30' (9M) diameter. The deck is 40' x 48' (12M x 14.63M). It's Eastern Red Cedar that I cut off the stump in the woods (two full tractor trailers full of logs). I cut all the lumber with my woodmizer sawmill, dried it in my kiln and milled it to dimension my shop. This is my first deck project from standing tree to finished product. I then beat it together with hammer and nails and screws (no nail gun). The deck was 2 1/2 years in the making and I finally finished all the farming last week. I started on the staining and should be done this weekend (weather permitting). In the picture you'll notice some of the cedar has turned gray. I bleached the entire deck to make the new and old wood match before I stained. I'll be sure and post a pic when I'm 100% done.

    I would love to come down and give you a hand As for the bleach it was straight from the jug. Came from the dollar store, it's the kind the wife uses in the washing machine for making my wife beaters white.


    I completed the pool deck 100% a few weeks ago, stained with Benjamin Moore oil based stain. Boy am I glad this project is finally done...



    Thanks

    Thanks for all the replies, it was a long project and I get compliments from everyone who comes by. I even had a few people stop and knock on the door asking if I build decks, I have to refuse, all I need is something more to do
