Split-level Pool Deck Framing Layout

A split-level pool deck separates lounging and pool-access space onto two distinct levels, which takes more planning than a single flat deck but reads a lot better around an 18-foot pool. ArcSite's split-level pool deck framing layout template lays that two-tier structure out for you, ready to adjust to your own pool size.

Key Features

This split-level pool deck framing layout includes

  • 4x4 support post and blocking placement
  • Joist, beam, and stair stringer measurements
  • Wraparound layout sized for an 18-foot pool

Key Considerations When Designing a Split-Level Pool Deck

Two-level framing means the stair stringers and support posts connecting them have to carry load in a way a single flat deck never has to deal with. In ArcSite, you can adjust this framing layout's post placement and level heights to match your own pool and site.
