How I Built a Pool Deck Using Recycled Materials

Building a sustainable and functional pool deck is easier than you think! In this video, I share exactly how I built a pool deck using recycled materials, including old BPC planks and wooden beams, to create a stylish and durable outdoor space. With careful planning and a step-by-step approach, I was able to repurpose materials from past projects while ensuring a professional finish.

Here’s what I cover in this video:
✅ How I reused BPC decking boards and wooden beams to minimize waste and stay eco-friendly.
✅ Installing aluminum profiles and brackets for a stable and long-lasting substructure.
✅ Aligning the deck with the pool coping stones and compensating for height differences.
✅ Tips for accessing the skimmer and maintaining functionality under the deck.
✅ Ideas for incorporating subtle pool lighting, such as LED spotlights or light strips.
✅ Future plans for enhancing the area with a stone slab terrace, outdoor kitchen, and foldable sun sail.

This project not only gave new life to old materials but also transformed my pool area into a practical and inviting space. I also share insights on challenges like warped decking boards and how I overcame them with precise measurements and adjustments.
