    Right, we are not connected to anything. The deck is built the same level as the pool (52") and has a gap between the pool and deck so we can work on the pool if need be, put covers on, etc. We bridge with a 10" wide matching board sold as header board that straddles the deck and the top rail with hinges on the deck side so each section flips up/back towards the deck and we can reach down in there to work. The gap also protects so we don't have pool or deck moving and crashing in to the other. We can make level adjustments for heaving very easily with the deck blocks too.

    Also, if this gets inspected, you might check with your local BI to make sure that he/she is OK with these. Mine was skeptical when I discussed pool deck plans with him (I didn't wind up using these on the pool deck), but did say that they would pass inspection.... reluctantly.

    I wish we didn't have to use dek blocks, but we have so many rocks! I'm hoping the blocks will make it easier.

    We are using the plans on their website and have 4 out of 18 frames built so far. We're hoping to start putting it all together by this weekend.

    Thanks for the responses and link to the deck pictures.

    I built my deck with the deck blocks. I am very happy with the product. I get winds here up to 60mph and my deck has not budged. I say if you are thinking of using the deck block system you will not be disappointed.
