What do you think of my above ground pool deck design? (images inside)
I'm building in the next few days a deck for my new 18' above ground pool. I've designed a deck using Sketchup, but want to have your opinion before building it / buying the lumber!
I'm looking for opinions on the design (aesthetic) and on the construction itself (against code, etc.). The joists are made of 2x6 12"cc, the exterior joists are made of 2x8. Railing height is 48". A gate will of course be added down the road. The floor and the top rails are made of 5/4x6 deck boards. Posts are 4x4 and travel from the ground to the top.
