Will this pool fit on this deck?
Question:It is an round, inflated pool with a 15' diameter and is 3' high. Will is be able to fit on 15'x15' part of a brand new wood deck?
Answers:
Technically yes it would. But barely.
where would u walk? Will the deck hold the pool when its filled with water?
Not a good idea...
it would take all the space on the deck, but it will fit.
The pool itself might fit on the deck, but is the deck strong enough to support it? The pool filled up with water will weigh about 60,000 lbs. I think that would collapse your deck!
A pool that is 7.5' in radius is 2*3.1456*7.5^2=353 sq feet of area.
353*3' =1059 cubic feet of water.
1059*62lb per cubic foot=65,658 lbs of water
I'd put the pool on the ground.
The best would be if you (this sounds wierd) tore the deck down and put the pull on the ground and filled in the deck from there...I'm sorry but the weight is the factor...
You could possibly add more support under the deck where the pool would be...
