How to Build a Splash Pool Deck

    Step 7: Attaching Diagonal Bracing - continued

    Align surface boards over the connection of the two Supports Frames. Using straight edge or chalk line, mark the line of the intersection of the two Support Frames below as shown in Diagram 11. Trim the angled end of the surface boards to fit and secure to the Support Frames. The last "wedge" surface board should be cut to fit. Trim the end of the board to fit flush to the Splash Handrail Bracket and both edges of the Support Frame. Position the last surface board over the Splash Handrail Bracket, tap a hammer on top of the surface board a few times to indent the nail heads into the bottom of the surface board. Using a 3/8" – 1/2" drill bit, drill a shallow hole at each indented mark. The surface boards will now site flush to the Splash Handrail Bracket. Position and secure the first decking board using 2-1/2" deck screws. After all 2"x6" surface boards are secured, use a chalk line to mark the edge of the decking flush to the outside edge of the Support Frames as shown in Diagram 12. Using the line as a guide, cut the overhanging edges of the 2"x6" surface boards with a circular saw.
