In this video I'm showing you how we pour and finish a concrete pool deck around a kidney shaped pool. Part 1 of this video showed you how we form and prep the pool deck for concrete. This is Part 2, the pouring and finishing of the concrete. We had to wheel barrow the concrete to install this pool deck. I didn't want to get a concrete pump truck for such a small pour since we could reach one side of it with the concrete truck. This is a 12 cubic yard pool deck, we used a 4000 psi mix with fibermesh reinforcement in the mix. The concrete was 4 inches thick. Pouring the concrete around the pool is done with a plan. We start the pour where it will also be a good place to start the finishing process. To finish this pool deck, I'm going to cut in some relief joints using a pole jointer or groover, then I'll mag float the surface before we lightly broom finish the concrete.

Mike just came across this been in the concrete business for 40 years on the Westcoast. We do the same thing you do high end stamp and all kinds of flatwork and walls. Did foundations for years but just flatwork now. You guys and gals do things a little different than we do are pool decks have to have #3 rebar 18" O.C. But that said it's so nice to see a dad have his girls out there with the boys. Also lets them know how hard dad works so they can go to school. And I was watching them there better than a lot of guys on the come -a- long. nice job!!

@MikeDayConcrete 3 года назад

Thanks Andy, Some decks we'll use 3/8 bar and some wire like this one. It depends on who does the prep for me. Where on the west coast are you?

@mikestronach4762 Год назад

Nice Mike. I think you should always start by stating the concrete mix and slump. A lot of people watching this don’t understand how important that is for finish and when to start finishing.

@phineartz 2 года назад

I work on a 4 man pool construction crew and we pour our own decks- It’s really cool to see how you guys and gals go about the process. Our bossman has been pouring decks since he was a teenager with his grandfather and has developed an approach, that while effective, is way different than what I see other crews doing. For example we ‘saw screed’ right on the form with stakes pounded down flush and follow with floats on the edges, but because of that, we run the risk of scratching up the coping and/or pulling too much mud off the inside edge of the coping or form. I like the idea of floating the edges prior to screeding as opposed to trying to establish your levels with the screed directly on the form- Seems like it would make screeding a little easier and help keep the pool cleaner. Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos, maybe I will try to employ some of your tactics when bossman is looking the other way haha. Cheers from KY

@joelbaines1118 3 года назад

This is exactly how simple concrete needs to be no chairs under steel but its getting lifted love that screed to. In australia/nz they call that a dummy joiner.

@pnutmal 4 года назад

I used to do alot of these pool decks . The pool company we where subing for wanted them a super light broom . So alot of troweling . But where I live we don't run that much air entrainment just a little bit . Also another thing we used to do .Is set a small piece of expansion and cap where we would start the pour . So that when we got back around to it it would have a clean break . Basically we didn't have to blend the two loads together . Then the pool contractor would just pull the cap and caulk it .

@MikeDayConcrete 4 года назад

Nice, we always blend the two loads together. We try to start where we would normally put a joint anyway. Works good for us most all the time.

@jdelapaz14 4 года назад

I love your videos man. I'm a 18 yr concreter from California. We pour much like you do there. I noticed you guys broom after a mag, try giving it a medium/hard trowel before brooming. Comes out with a really nice broom. Im sure you know already.

So, your concrete companies are in the "dark ages" too with those rear discharge trucks?? After seeing all the benefits of a front discharge truck, I have no idea how there is even a market for any rear discharge trucks anymore! Excellent videos!

@philliplowe7545 3 года назад

Hi mike. I’ve poured my share of concrete over the years here in Michigan . You mentioned about steel troweling outside pours and how it can affect the concrete , same thing here in Michigan , was always taught not to steel trowel air entrained / outside broom finish pours , but my question has always been , when you broom the concrete isn’t it “opening” that top back up ?? I’ve just always been curious about that whole theory of trapping air below the surface .

@kramrevaew 4 года назад

Mike, Do you have a video on exposed aggregate concrete? This is something the is unusual in the UK which I do not understand. I know if is used extensively in the US.

@mdurbs5361 3 года назад

Mike I have a concrete pool deck which appears to have been laid in layers, the top layer being that mottled effect with tiny hair lines in the concrete. The deck has been down for years and two things are happening. 1. is its cracking from ground movement and 2 its lifting from a hard concrete under layer. At this point it essentially needs replacing and this time I'm thinking of laying astro turf (not least because it will cope better with our ground movement in Houston). Do you have any tips for removing all that op layer, I don't want to remove all the concrete because I'll just have to raise the ground to get back to the level I want to lay astro turf at and I don't want to lay the astro on the existing top because if lifts its going to pull up the astro attached to it. wondered if you had any advice.

@23tupu 3 года назад

I noticed you had steel mesh, but how does it reinforce the concrete if it is flush with the dirt? Does it need to be centered in the layer of concrete for it to work properly?

@johnbednarski2169 4 года назад

Excellent team work, Mike. Sorry if I've missed this in your commentary. It looks like the pool is vinyl lined with aluminum coping. If that's the case, how do you deal with any concrete splatters on the coping; and, is it possible to remove the coping at a later time, in case the vinyl liner needs to be replaced? I imagine the coping just pops right out, but I didn't see anyone run a straight edge between the coping and concrete. Thank you.

@MikeDayConcrete 4 года назад

In the video I duct tape the coping to keep it clean, then we pull the tape when we're done finishing. The coping is permanent. It doesn't need to be removed to replace the liner.

@jamesrogers4674 3 года назад

Why do pool decks set up quicker than other pours? Higher psi mix cause it or lower slump?

@marcomeraz-tr7ik Год назад

What slump do you ask for? Is 3/8 stone ideal for this type of pour?

@exca3737 4 года назад

Can't beat the Jackson poly wheelbarrow, looks like you got a bumper on front, is that for when you dump on radiant heat tubing? It's a good idea to put the first part of load on both trucks next to each other like you did, seems to me the first half yard never sets as fast as the rest of it. We call it a cutter.

@MikeDayConcrete 4 года назад

Yes, for radiant heat floors. That's just about the only time we wheel anything now.

@mikebolinger5359 4 года назад

Quite a few guys here use a Fresno after bull floating on exterior slabs. Wouldn’t a broom finish open the surface back up if you sealed it with a steel trowel?

@MikeDayConcrete 4 года назад

We like using a funny float better than a fresno. The broom would most likely open the surface back up, I just don't like to take a chance on trapping moisture. A good tight mag float with a good fine broom leaves you a really nice broom finish.

@philaudiostrike8746 4 года назад

I work in pool repair, just about all the pool jet repairs i do are because they are being yanked on from settling.so i wonder if using masterseal np1 in the relief cuts would prevent future water washing of substrate.if that would be worth . Also preventing the jets,hoses and elbows from getting pulled down and damaged.

@MikeDayConcrete 4 года назад

Caulking the joints is always a good idea. I don't usually do it. I only do pool decks where the sub-base is compacted really good and almost all of them go through a winter season before I pour the concrete.

Hey Mike! I came across your video while googling for concrete pouring. Do you have any recommendations on how you handle pouring around existing pool plumbing when pouring a deck for future maintenance and access? For example, PVC 90s into returns from the pool pump. Thank you! Love the channel, subscribed!

Form around the pipes entirely, wrap them with expanded foam or sleeve them with a larger diamond pipe.

@chipfrazier 3 года назад

In your opinion, what is the minimum width of a pool deck where building codes do not specify a minimum width? Can I get by with 12 to 18 inches? TIA

@Viltrakisdesignbuild 4 года назад

Do you think you could get pretty close to even price wise by hiring a pump truck and only having 2 guys there? I’ve been leaning toward using a pump on many pours lately that I could get away with tailgating or wheelbarrowing because the dollar amount ends up so close and the pumper just makes for a much easier and stress free day. Thanks enjoy your videos and seeing different styles.

@MikeDayConcrete 4 года назад

We tailgate when ever we can. For us that's almost always easier unless it's a really big pour. We don't wheelbarrow too much. Pumping is easier in a lot of cases but it's 850 for a pump plus the yard of concrete just to fill the pump that you don't use. That gets you to over 1000.00 bucks. I extra man doesn't come close to costing you that for a day. Plus when the pump washes out it leaves a big pile of crete to pick up after. I only pump when I have to.

@tomruth9487 4 года назад

It looks like the water is just right. In my mind I'm thinking when there is bleed water on the surface, it's too wet. Wondering if you think that is true?

@MikeDayConcrete 4 года назад

That's not always the case. If there's a vapor barrier, you usually always see bleed water no matter what the slump is. Non-air entrained concrete bleeds more than air-entrained concrete does. Really fine aggregates seem to make the concrete bleed more than course aggregates. Mixing water does have a lot to do with it also.
