Thanks man!!

Watkins Tree Farm - Hobbs Creek Country Life if i build 10 x 10 deck so. What side i need for deck broad? Thanks

@@andyking7713 I used 5/4 deck boards. 10 foot length deck, you probably will need to cut a 12ft down. I would recommend spanning the 10ft without seams. There will be hangover regardless what length you decide or find.

Thank you!!

Thank you very much.

I was able to incorporate the ladder that came with the pool into the deck. Thanks for watching.

I might have to do that. You mean underneath? Thanks for watching

You are welcome.

Roughly 5X16 with the 16 foot going along the shorter side of the pool. You can see in the videos. As far as being able to build this at 65 years old, age has no limits. One step at a time. Wouldn’t hurt to have a second set of hands. It would make it a lot easier.

It came with the pool & I adapted the deck for the ladder. I think they sell them separately.

Roughly 8x20 and deck boards are labeled 6” but measured (5-3/4”). Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for the compliment and sorry about your neighbor. Good luck on finishing it and stay safe my friend. I hope you follow the channel if you haven’t already. 👍

@@watkinstreefarm6880 I certainly did subscribe, I got other wood projects for this summer and your tips looks very helpful to me! Stay safe!

I believe the material to build the pool deck was in the $450 area.

To be honest, I used the existing ladder as is & cut an opening in the deck for it to go through. I think I had to block it up on one end.

Thanks 👍. Hope you subscribe & follow.

Great to hear and would love to see photos. You can e-mail me watkinstreefarm@gmail.com. Hope you subscribe & follow us.

Send me some deck pics

I did this project a few years ago but I would guess 800-1000 with today’s prices. Thanks for watching

Officially no. I believe I show a 2D cad drawing in the #1 Deck Video. I have a material list that’s n the comments on this video. Thks for watching!! 👍

LOL I noticed that when I was editing. On the back side of the deck the 4x4's are roughly 8ft apart. Around the stairs it is almost a 4ft x 4ft square. Thanks for watching.

@@watkinstreefarm6880 thank you for responding.

Concrete Deck Block. Thanks for watching

Thank you!!!!

Watkins, can you explain the boards cut @ a 45 ° angle 7:01 ? Are they necessary

@@bobbyh.7261 45 degrees?? The stringers for the stairs where pre bought and the steps where just straight cuts.

The pool & everything was given to us. I will be able to adapt everything to a new above ground pool in the future. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching. I believe when I built the deck is was just under $500. Here is a list I put together. I hope you subscribe & good luck with the build. 2x6) (1) 16ft / (1) 12ft / (6) 8ft (2x4) (10) 8ft (4x4) (8) 8ft (8) Concrete Blocks (3) 6-Step Stringers Timberlok (Wood Lag Screws) 4-4.5 inches long (24) Joist Hangers (30) 5/4 X 6 X 8 Deck Boards You will need 3" & 1-3/4" deck screws also. All boards were pressure treated lumber. Cedar was too expensive!! This will get you close. Please realize that every project is different and each project will have its own challenges. Check the prices with the list. Good Luck!!

Did your pour concrete in the cement blocks to hold the 4x4s. How was they staying up right plum just sitting there when you first started

@@cavyboy99 Those concrete blocks are purchased and can be found at most box stores. A 4x4 can sit right inside the top or a 2x4 on it side can go across it. Pretty slick!! Thanks for watching & I hope you follow us.

I built this in May 2020 and lumber prices were normal. I was around $450 at that time. I would be only guessing for the current prices today.

@@watkinstreefarm6880 Where can I get a list of the supplies

@@clarencejenke9831 I made a list a while back. Take in mind this is not concrete but will get you in the ball park. (2x6) (1) 16ft / (1) 12ft / (6) 8ft (2x4) (10) 8ft (4x4) (8) 8ft (8) Concrete Blocks (3) 6-Step Stringers Timberlok (Wood Lag Screws) 4-4.5 inches long (24) Joist Hangers (30) 5/4 X 6 X 8 Deck Boards You will need 3" & 1-3/4" deck screws also. All boards were pressure treated lumber. Cedar was too expensive!! This will get you close. Please realize that every project is different and each project will have its own challenges. Good Luck!!

A 4x8 platform should be enough for 2 people. Either way you shift it, I think there would be room for a ladder & a chair. Good luck & God Bless.

@@watkinstreefarm6880 God bless and keep you as well!!🙏🙌☝️

Yes we are in n what they call tornado alley. Thanks for watching & I hope you follow us along. 👍

Right. I wish I could. One step at a time. Find someone local and well recommended. I know firefighters do wood projects on their off days around here. Maybe that is an idea. I hope you can find a way to get one.

Thanks that was a very kind response! You did a great job and I love how you got your family involved!

I assume your talking in a worse case scenario if the pool ruptures. Everything slopes away from the house. Definitely a concern but I feel it is a low risk. Thanks for watching. 👍 hope you follow us

@@watkinstreefarm6880 That's on a slab, right? If the failure occurred on the side closest to the house, the pool itself acts like a damn/barrier, forcing the water against the house and water follows the path of least resistance .... But hey, it's your house buddy! I've seen this very scenario happen in real life ... when the water came gushing up into the master bedroom....well....let's just say a it got real expensive, real quick!

The pool is on sand & the house closest to the pool has a crawl space. I will take a look at it this evening. Thks

Thank you very much.

Thank you sir!! Have a great day!!

Thanks. Hope you check the rest of the channel out.
