Building a deck over a pool presents a challenge similar to any raised deck so be prepared for hard work sore muscles and a great sense of accomplishment.
To build a deck roof you ll need support posts rafters deck sheathing roofing material and possibly a gutter and downspout system.
If you have kids you can make an entrance gate.
The best part is that you can still use the deck for chairs and tanning while the pool is open.
If you are making a cover over a concrete patio rather than a deck cover you will have to bolt the post mounts into the concrete instead of screwing them in place.
If you plan to attach the deck cover to the side of the home then you only need 2 post mounts in the outer corners of the deck.
A full on deck roof often called a porch roof uses basically the same techniques as a regular roof.
