  • 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.

  • Plan your own pool and create a 3D floor plan

    3D floor plan of a rectangular room with grey walls, labeled dimensions, a curved front wall, built-in shelves on the left, and a person standing outside for scale. The approximately 6x4 meter room could easily fit a small indoor pool. www.commaik.de

    The layout for our new pool was partially predetermined by the retaining walls of the old oval steel wall pool. However, some adjustments were still possible and also necessary. The new pool in our garden was definitely going to have steps and a seating platform in the water was also planned. The old excavation pit offered several possibilities – but none for a classic rectangular pool. The demolition of the old pool landscape was completed and it was now time for me to make some thoughts and plans for the new concrete pool. How could I get the best out of these specifications? And what tools could I use to…
