  • Building a BPC and WPC terrace on a slope – My new pool terrace with recycled boards

    A backyard features a rectangular swimming pool surrounded by a wooden deck, a small covered terrace with a bar, a palm tree, garden beds, a lawn, a greenhouse, and a white house with stone siding. www.commaik.de

    BPC decking, slope, pool construction and substructure – in this post I show how I built my new pool deck with recycled BPC boards, solid larch beams and aluminum profiles. The pool is located on a slope, which places special demands on stability, gradient and load-bearing capacity. I share my experiences with BPC and WPC, explain the differences in installation and show what really matters when it comes to a durable, resilient decking construction. If you want to build a patio yourself, you’ll find lots of practical tips and insights here.

  • Laying pool edging stones and building your own pool terrace for the perfect pool surround

    A rectangular outdoor swimming pool with clear blue water is surrounded by gray tiled paving and pool edge stones. There is a small palm tree, green grass, and hedges in the background. Some tiling work appears unfinished on one side. www.commaik.de

    When building the pool, the correct laying of the pool edge stones and the construction of a beautiful and functional pool terrace played an important role. In this article, I describe how I selected the materials, prepared the substrate, cut and glued the stones. I also show how I laid the terrace loosely and built a platform as a transition to the garden terrace. Building a pool has been one of my biggest DIY projects. In this article, I would like to tell you about my experiences with laying pool edging stones and building the pool terrace.
