I recently added a Stock Tank Pool to our backyard and it’s been a summer game changer! We quickly realized how nice it would be to have a deck for the pool so we could sit on the side with our feet in, have a place to layout, set drinks and more.

So today I'm going to show you how to build a small backyard deck with stairs for your pool! I built this deck for my 8' stock tank pool, including a secret hatch so I can access my pump and filter. You could alter this deck to make it bigger or smaller, fit a different sized pool, add on railings or move the stairs. The possibilities are endless.

For detailed instructions on this Pool Deck, be sure and watch the video. I'd love to see pics of yours if you decide to make your own.
