Decking over Above Ground Pool

We need to replace our above ground pool liner but the decking
was built around the top to overlap the pool.
Is there any way to get to it? Or do I have to cut all the wood around it and
replace the deck boards?

Hi. Decks over the top rails of above ground pools can create a real problem. Assuming you have an overlap liner, you will need to remove the top rails.

Many times a deck will need to be cut back and then rebuilt. Sometimes it is as easy as pulling some deck screws and removing the top 2 x 6’s. Other times it means cutting and replacing boards.

If you plan to put the deck back the way it is now you might consider buying a beaded liner and bead receivers for your pool. This way the decking would not have to come off again.

Below are links to pages that might help you out further in making your deck cutting and liner changing plans.
