Pool On Deck

Pool On Deck

RE: Pool On Deck

Depending on the depth of the pool that could get scary pretty quickly. For that reason and due to large gathering potential on decks I like to use a live load of 50 psf with 10 psf dead load but maybe that is not even enough.

RE: Pool On Deck

I like the quote above the picture "pool on deck. best idea ever"

See link for another interesting deck picture. This happened a week or two ago. Nice action shot of the deck collapsing. Luckily no major injuries.
