Today, after I finally got the money for a pool, I built a deck, filled it a quarter of the way, then all the 4x4 beams collapsed. The pool ripped in half, flooding the yard. FML
a deck typically goes around a pool, the pool sits at ground level and the deck goes around it level with the top of the pool.
water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, several thousand gallons is going to weigh alot, a deck isnt going to support the weight of all that water.
You used chipboard for the deck-not a great choice of material
Now you know next time dont cheap out just hire a professional.
