    Default over under

    Ok, thanks for explaining!
    I would go even with the top, aesthetically, I think it would be the best. WRT the winter cover, going under may make cover installation just a slight bit easier, but I don't think it would make a big enough difference to forego aesthetics..
    I'm going with the deck block since my pool is over 100 feet from the house, if the deck were to be at the house I would use footings and tie it to the house, but it will be free standing.

    I did a deck for a 24' round AG pool several years ago and I ran the deck boards underneath the 4" top rail.

    It looked finished because the top rail hid any problems with the radius cuts on the end of the deck boards. If you leave the deck boards long and butt them up to the rail, you can transfer the radius to the boards and after the radius is cut, you can slide the board under the top rail to get your length.

    Worked good for my application.

    I would love to see pictures of your decking if possible.

    That was 22 years ago but I might be able to find a pic if the ms will help me out. I'll see what we can do.

    I now have a 20 year old IG that needs and coping/concrete rehab. I have a post in the forum about that also.
