I want a larger Splash Deck larger than 4 feet, what do I do?

Answer:

Currently, we only offer a 3 and 4 ft. plans. Extending the frame can be done, but there are a few issues to be aware of:

How to build a splash deck larger than 3 ft.
  1. When extending the frame, the last support board (the board furthest from the pool) should not exceed 5 ft. in the length. The further the frame is extended, the larger this board becomes. If this board exceeds 5ft, you will need a larger number of narrower sections (instead of 18 sections, try 24 or 36 sections). When using 18 sections, the angle on both ends of the support board is 10 degrees. The angle for 24 sections is 7.5 degrees. The angle for 36 sections is 5 degrees.
  2. The spacing between the support boards extending from the pool should not exceed 24 inches on center for 2"x6" decking. Or, 16 inches on center for 5/4"x6" decking as shown below. You may need to add additional supports.
  3. The block spacing along the frame should not exceed 36 inches on center. Anything greater than 36" will require additional Dek-Block® Piers.
