A better tool for removing and installing the race would be a brass drift, the hardened steel of an extension or punch can damage the race. No need to grease the race for installation. Over all nit a bad job,

So they've been doing this in Australia for about 120 years and we have these galvanised steel brackets that allow the wood to sit proud of the ground (by about five inches so it's never in contact with the soil. They kind of look like a square U on a pipe where the pipe embeds in concrete, and there is a special type of concrete used with a coarse aggregate that doesn't react to the soil so poorly. It's weird not seeing these on American houses.

Concrete around the post will rot the wood faster…… it traps moisture. A better option is to backfill with clean gravel.If you are an overachiever, you could fill the hole up with concrete instead.

Thanks for the prior reply Tom. Your video is super helpful and I love the style that lips over the pool instead of under the caps. One more question…. I am digging my holes out Monday. How close did you dig you holes out to the pool? I’m using 6x6 post I believe like you did. I’m going to do the 4” concrete pad like you did. Dig my hole to 12 inch diameter and I was going to have the edge of the diameter 12” from my pools metal wall.

@thedustybuilder Ай бұрын

The joists can cantilever past the beam one quarter of their length….. I think my mine were 2 ft away. If yours are only 1 ft away you should be fine……. But it might be tight trying to reach up and sneak a cover over the rail……18 inches would be better if you could manage 😬

To clarify. Your 6x6 was 2 feet away from pool wall or 2 feet away OC for the 6x6 post. My township is saying for a 6x6 post I need to dig 3x the post size. 18 inches round. Not just 12? I am going to move my post to 18 inches back from the closest edge of post to pool wall. That sound about right?

@mattparker4139 Ай бұрын

I like how you cut the 6x6 out in the back to support your 2x10 joist where the 2x10s move towards the deck. In the front by the pool, how did you secure those 2 x10s that are resting in the support beam by the pool area where the 2x4s are sister joist for the over hang? Or is the weight of the platform enough?

@thedustybuilder Ай бұрын

You used to be able to ‘toe nail’ the joists to the beam. That’s honestly probably fine. But Now a metal connector is required. I used ‘hurricane ties’
