Summer 2002
Day 5 (July 3rd):
Here are the photos of the day's efforts. All I wanted to be sure of was that the my previously built sections would fit around the pool. This also included positioning the Dek-Blocks to support the sections.
 
 
 
 

 
Day 6 (July 5th):
Started about 9 AM. The goal for today was to erect 4 or 5 sections and cross brace them. As the sections were elevated upon the 4x4's we needed to assure that the posts were cut to give a finished height 1/2" below the lowest part of the pool's post caps. This effort started out slow until I was sure that all aspects were being considered before I fixed the first section to its 4x4's. That done, it was determined that each inside post needed to be 14 1/2" below the peak of each pool post. This would result in the needed finish height. As I cut the posts to support the following sections and the section were fixed into place, I checked for level. So far so good.
 
 
 
 
 
  Four sections were set and the cross bracing was completed. As hoped for, the cross bracing really made things rigid.
